¥1590/month.

Rough $11/month in freedom dollars. That’s not bad!

Still pricey for a solo use. What is your use cases? Lurking or a frequent poster?

Haha i love that stuff.

There’s a restaurant called Pho’king Good that I passed by and immediately had a bowl.

When you visit Hawaii, get it. Go all in on Hawaiian food. It’s the best!

Y’all remember Pidgin?

That proggie was the bomb for all your AOL, ICQ, MSN, etc so you can keep up with your homies while you update your live journal.

So… everyone instead just went to Bluesky and Threads where sign-up links were provided rather than directory links and manifestos.

Wild! This was my exact thought as I was signing up for Mastadon. I spent like 15 minutes figuring out what Mastadon is, what server to join, what each server means. Then I did the thing like I did with Lemmy and created half a dozen accounts waiting to see which server gave me my “Account Created” email first.

WordPress core is pretty wild. But modern WordPress isn’t working purely in that. The latest WP uses PHP primarily as a backend, and modern JS as a frontend and passing data through filters->DB.

I won’t call it elegant. But it’s not the PHP experience from five years ago.

I see this all the time. People complain about WP but think the alternatives are better, when they’re just trading problems for others.

WP core is stable AF. I’ve shared in many prior comments how I spend so many more dev hours fixing other CMSes over WP.

And if you don’t even need a CMS, fuck it all and switch to static hosting and markdown.

It makes sense.

Supporting Tumblr backend with patches vs building on top of stable WP and improving it seems like a win win.

How so?

Silly question.

Why?And how much does it cost to run a Lemmy instance that size?

The one reason I don’t want to do it is because I’m not interested in the drama side of moderating.

I bounced between a few instances and .world seemed to always be up and available. Not to mention all the communities on .world.

I don’t have an allegiance. Open more communities in other instances or migrate the .world ones there.

I just want to post.

Never been a fan of fontawesome after their major shifts towards a paid product and just insane bloat by incorporating so many variants.

Then again, the problem is hard since branded icons will only grow. Yesterday is Insta. Today’s tiktok. Tomorrow it’s Gabbagoobiee. Not to mention logo changes and whatever the fuck Twitter is doing.

Rooting for their success.
