Does anyone know how profitable vending machine ownership is? Obviously nobody is making their full income on it but I see a lot of videos of people making $700 every week or two but not talking about owning/operating costs. I'm not really considering owning one or anything I'm just curious.

I didn't necessarily think about some of the overhead that your comment brought up when I made mine. I like your idea about opting out of some features on certain instances and I think that makes sense for quite a few users/communities/instance hosters.

An imminent IPO

I've personally only played Diablo 3, however I have put a couple hundred hours into it at this point. I would 100% recommend it, just be prepared for the urge to play it for hours on end!

I 100% agree! As someone from the US I always disliked that even subs which were supposed to be global would default to being US subs unless the poster specified. I too love the idea of a global community and I think that assuming where someone is from kind of takes away from that.

Yeah i agree that if the question can be in the title it should be imho. It’s nice to see what the post is about in big bold letters up at the top. Obviously some questions will be too long but in any other case I think it makes the most sense.

I mean I could be completely wrong but I think that’s where federation actually comes out on top. Look at Reddit, apparently still not even profitable. However if someone on Lemmy owns an instance and infrastructure costs get too high they can stop new communities and users from joining until they get more money through donations or whatever ways people come up with sourcing income.

Again though, this could all be completely wrong and misled but that’s what I think at least.

That's 100% valid. I've subscribed to a TON of communities already so I spend most of my time looking at new subscribed posts. I could see why the new posts on all would not be ideal.

Yeah I’m curious about the reason as well. No hate tho, that’s the great part about Lemmy (and federation in general), you can switch instances whenever you want. I’m just curious in case it’s for a reason that would make me want to switch too lol.

Bones are like 15% of our body weight I think so bone loss probably would be effective lmao

I haven’t been on Reddit to see for myself however I believe I heard someone on Lemmy say that /r/conservative was making a big deal about NOT blacking out? I have no context and no clue why I just know I’ve heard people say that.
