We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

    Thank you so much for writing this. Its been a really hectic week for @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I… hundreds of notifications, private messages, people asking us for tech support, as well as tons of requests for fixes and changes.

    We can’t and shouldn’t be doing this alone, we need all the support we can get, and people’s patience. I’m super thankful to all the people that have helped others in setting up instances.

    I’m also confident that we will get over the hurdles, and become a threat to the US surveillance machine. The years of work many people have put in making this software will come to fruition, and they won’t be able to ignore us.
