@myk @alyaza “Why bother being a good custodian of a community website that has never made a profit, when you could live off selling access to one of the largest bodies of good quality human-generated text-based content out there?”

Goes to show how important it is we use FOSS and decentralized tools for real community communications.

@roi @Radicalized He’s freaking out about competition like Elon did with Mastodon. #kbin #lemmy

@jax I agree. I just want to see Lemmy post rankings affected by Mastodon etc users, not just Lemmy users. Commenting across apps is cool, upvoting across apps so I can see a cross fediverse link agreegator top ranking? Awesome…

@jax I love it. It’s super cool. I think the main thing I’m still working through is how favorites and upvotes will interoperate. It’s weird seeing different counts for favorites and upvotes and I wish I could upvote from Mastodon.

There’s definitely some smoothing out to do and maybe there always will be. But it’s super cool. I have no idea the full implications. But they’re all positive imo.
