  • These three points you make here completely validate my decision to start to mainly use this instance.

    1. One thing which is probably important to note here is that I tend to view Lemmy instances as infrastructure, rather than as communities.
    1. I do not want to end up in a fragmented Lemmy network, where users are required to have accounts on 5 different instances in order to be able to access all their communities.
    1. Communities should always be free to set and enforce rules which foster healthy discussions. On top of that, instances should always be free to set and enforce rules for all of their users and communities.

    These adress the majority of issues I have had when trying to switch to using lemmy in the beginning.






  • I think it sort of worked on firefox for a spell a while back but screen sharing and other stuff was broken. Then I think it stopped entirely and showed a “use edge” callout.

    I switched to the electron client they provided and it used to work pretty ok for years but recently they anounced they were killing it on linux for some reason (to be fair there were no updates I could discern for months).

    They now ignore linux entirely in the desktop clients section and redirect to a qr code to download the android app if you go to a download page on a linux machine.

    I have chromium just to be able to get on a call if needed.

    There is now “Teams Classic” and “New Teams” as well.

    All this to say, yes. MS enshitification is real. Sorry I know you did not sign up to get this wall of text.
