Regardless of the current situation, I think the option in general to “unsubscribe” from an entire instance could be useful. I know we can create our own instances and defederate, but not everyone has the skills, money, etc. to be able to do that.

With all due respect and empathy to reddit’s employees who do deserve gainful employment:

Does a link aggregator really need a huge labor pool? In terms of functionality Lemmy is already on par with how I remember Reddit 10 years ago (compared to which the experience of Reddit today is actually worse). And Lemmy achieves it with what, an extreme fraction of the labor cost?

Props to all the devs, admins, etc who are hosting all these Lemmy instances for us, btw :)

I guess I’m out of the loop. When I hear master race I think of white supremacy, not a Witcher 1 review

“master race”

I tried to make an account on lemmy.ml and it looks like their servers are (understandably) overloaded

I ended up choosing lemmy.world instead

My understanding is I’m not missing out on anything by chosing a less-popular instance. Did I get that right?
