Y'all realize that saying things like "You've just lost a user!" or "Deleting my account!" or "This is now the worst instance on Lemmy!"... you sound like a Karen telling the kid at the register in CVS that she's leaving a bad Yelp review... right? Y'all seeing this? Am I going crazy here?
Plus this is the Fediverse. They're effectively just saying "yo, I'm gonna reduce your server costs!". Oh no! What a horrible threat!
Haha I'm not deleting anything I have hosted here, just making a new account on another instance.
Which moves your future server costs to that instance... Do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?
Wow, you're so nice! I bet you get invited to all the parties π₯³
Did you just necro two 4 day old comments? You should see if bozo is taken for a username. π€‘
Lol are you going through my comments? I feel so violated π€·ββοΈ
Yea sometimes when I learn new information I delete my hot takes. I understand why that triggers you.
No, you replied to me dumbass. π€‘
Stay triggered ;]
Stay stupid. π€‘
Such a way with words. Oh, to be a poet.
Yeah, it's a shame that simple things are beyond your ability.
Yea man, real shame.
oh no, how dare users voice their opinions
Lemmy.world is a similar situation for the opposite reason. It's a free service that does not make money. A bunch of users saying they won't use it anymore is meaningless because they cost Lemmy.world money every time they use it.
If nobody uses the platform then there is no reason for it to exist. The fewer people who use it, the less functional it is as a social medium. Pretty obvious shit.
If every single user of Lemmy.world, or even a significant majority, leaves because they're no longer able to discuss piracy, I'll fight both Zuck and Musk in a cage match. It's all hot air from a very vocal, overly entitled minority.
If every person left Lemmy.world @rudd and the admins could take on another free hobby that they donβt get paid to do like bowling or birdwatching. He also has a calkey server and guessing he doesnβt cry every night because there arenβt 10,000 users.
But Lemmy.world isn't the whole platform, it's just an instance of it. You're right if the people are saying "I'm leaving Lemmy forever!", but most are saying they're simply moving to other instances.
I dont think youre going crazy, but this is also what lots of people on reddit felt about the users moving to Lemmy. Different people have different priorities, and there arent really a ton of ways to express displeasure with the admin decisions of your instance to say "I'm leaving and heres why" although some people are obviously being a bit hyperbolic.
