I haven’t been around Lemmy for a few weeks and today is my first time seeing anyone from the Hexbear instance. I like you people.

Thanks

Good bot.

What’s the general temperature on this acquisition?

ABK has been a dumpster fire for a decade, but it seems like a worryingly large move for the gaming scene in general.

To expand on the idea:

Ideally this would incentivize devs who are hesitant about the cost of hosting to spin up a server, bringing us more instance options and helping to further decentralize the platform.

Right now fedi relies on donations, and it seems to be working, but at some point the growth could outpace the donations leading to large instances shutting down. Rewards on Reddit are dumb as shit cause they feed an amoral corporation, but on Lemmy they would directly support those who are lending their time, money, and expertise to the growth of the fediverse.

It started here

Yeah what does a Saudi prince want to do with a social platform run by a ‘free speech absolutist’? Especially to the tune of $2 billion dollars?

I’m sure it’s just a big coincidence that the site is turning into a fascist-sympathizing shithole
