France out of all places was actually considering this?!?

I talked about piracy a whole bunch in the switch piracy subreddit.

Wonder if I’ll get sued in 10-15 years for it along with the 1000s of others.

And somehow some people are going to use this as reasoning that they need more guns to defend themselves.

Bigger than you think.

Most people who moved over are more likely to be contributors.

Only like 1% of redditors ever interact with the platform.

Instead of looking at ‘how much they lost’ think about ‘how much we gained’. This effect has started the network effect for Lemmy.

Here’s my point though:

You follow people on twitter. If the people you follow stay on twitter, you are forced to use twitter to see what they post.

You follow topics on Reddit. If the community doesn’t leave Reddit, that’s okay. You can still find the exact same community over here or start one yourself.

That single distinction will make this platform more successful than mastodon.

Wrong.

It has a way better chance because we don’t need to rely on popular people joining for it to grow. Anyone can start a community for any topic.
