This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
Is there anything happening in the Fediverse that makes you concerned for its future?
The whole philosophy of it is to give power back to the users and not be kept in a box, but do you think the current mindset of most people using the typical social media platforms will bring bad habits here and squander what the Fediverse stands for? This is more of a concern of mine, but I’m new here
There are certainly people who are only using lemmy, not because its FOSS, but because reddit has closed off API access (not realizing those are interconnected issues). To them it wouldn’t matter if lemmy’s source code is open or not.
Its not too big a concern for me, the fediverse isn’t going anywhere, and it’ll continue to grow, and be resilient to challenges.
