This gets posted so often, and it’s always so tone deaf.
I don’t want Lemmy to become Reddit. I don’t care if it gets huge. I’m content now. If it grows it grows, if it doesn’t it doesn’t. I left Reddit - why would I want it to become that here?
The technocrats want nothing more then to cast FUD on to federated platforms. Mastodon worked in their favor when it meant getting people away from right wing Twitter but no doubt they’d find a reason to turn on it later. Expect news reports about harmful misinformation spreading through federated sites.
I would be surprised if the establishment wasn’t doing stuff like this.
The federated nature means that instances and users can break away from other instances that turn toxic. The current structure is very centered around the home instance with federation being more of an SSO that uses the page of the home instance as a client.
It’s obvious. Lemmy is a self-described Reddit clone. The only comparison to Lemmy with at least 1mil users is Reddit. More users means a culture closer to Reddit. I like lemmy because it’s smaller. I’ve gotten to know a few users. I even recognize your user, I’m pretty sure we’ve interacted before. Bigger is not always better.

It’s a five day account, that basically became active an hour ago…
Probably the same person who just keeps making new accounts to say the same thing.
It happens weirdly often

Why are people using that as an acronym now?
Is it just a crypto thing that people keep trying to make common?
I dont agree with anything you’re saying, I just want to know people keep trying to make FUD happen, it’s not going to happen.
I had to look it up. FEAR UNCERTAINTY DOUBT for anyone else who is feeling out of the acronym loop.
I’ve seen the “FUD” acronym thrown around for a while to be honest, usually in the context of highlighting misinformation.
I don’t follow the crypto community though - i’m guessing they use it a lot more there for some reason?
I’ve heard it used for a long time.
At least since the 80s, I think it comes from that Far Side “Cat Fud” cartoon
I think you’re right… Probably why I recognize the name!

No one mentioned reddit here, what does the userbase size have to do with reddit?
