It’s 1am, and I’m seriously considering making this for breakfast now. It’s worth breaking some breakfast food conventions for this

Watch out for Bananakin Skywalker!

That is a lot of fun right there :)

Only the peel says it’s going to kill you, so as long as you don’t eat that your fine!

It’s like not eating the last bite of the broodwich.

That illustrates the point perfectly!

Apollo users unite !

Damn you, this is even better than the one I posted earlier !!

You did it!

Yeah if you’re a dinosaur watching your weight, you shouldn’t eat them all at once.

Man, what would be perfect! Because as far as I see it, it’s one of the few inconveniences of federation on the user level, and that kind of aliasing would totally solve it.

Couldn’t stop yourself could you Harambe?

After I made a few jokes in the comments, I shifted.

One fascinating aspect of Lemmy is that it won’t solely be the mods or admins choosing instances they associate with. As a user, you can too, isn’t that pretty cool? Let’s say in the future you find yourself disagreeing with what a particular instance is promoting or allowing. You have the freedom to join another instance instead. It’s empowering to be able to switch instances as a user; just like that meme I imagine dramatic lemmings exclaiming “I’m leaving those gate keepers at X”

This concept signifies that you shouldn’t become too attached to the identity of your accounts on a specific instance, which is probably a healthy mindset anyways. It also means that on Lemmy, everyone, including users, admins, and mods, has the flexibility to choose how and with whom they want to associate. Some instances may prioritize user privacy or choose to exclude certain types of content that contradicts their core beliefs. While some may label it as gatekeeping, it’s important to recognize that people naturally gravitate towards communities of like-minded individuals.

What’s really neat is that as a user, you don’t even need to seek approval for this. You can create multiple accounts and join multiple instances, where all that’s required is for you to behave in a manner aligned with the code of ethics or conduct defined by the community. Ultimately that means the power lies in the user’s ability to switch instances, to find the best home for themselves. So there is no need to worry what other instances are doing and it adds an interesting dynamic to the overall experience.

Can confirm, lemmy.world let me in. By the way, Is BeeHaw for hipsters. It sounds like it

I found my people

I suspected that “Support Lemmy” only supported the project. Judging by another comment, That seems like the best place to put a dollar at this point in time. That way, platform itself can improve and become more robust for all the instances. But it’s good to know that if a smaller instance is doing something I find particularly valuable, I should consider also donating support if it’s an option.

Lastly, I hope admins and members incurring the costs will talk to their communities when they need support. Although most discussions make it seem like those individuals are more than willing to host their servers as their contribution in support of decentralized social networks. I just want to consider all ways community members like myself can support projects like this, so they never feel they need to surrender to outside influences for financial gain. It may not be possible to predict or stop the future, if that were to happen. But if supporting the fediverse from the inside out has clear pathways now, It will be easier.

I would most likely do it like the host of your instance too. My experience in nonprofit over the last 15 years is that if you give people a clear path to give to something that provides value for them and a community, you just need a clear path to support. The costs you’ll incur doing something you believe in are accepted, and money received is just a bonus. But without an option no one can help, and they rarely ask “how can I pay for what your giving away” like I did in this post.
