They failed because no one could trust them. I never bought into it at all because I knew one day they’d shut it down, and they did.

Google ruined their reputation, and people are going to have a tough time buying into anything they release. I really only buy their phones and use their services that I am not tied into, such as YouTube, Maps, Translate, etc. All of their services where I am buying things, or hosting my data, I jumped shipped a couple years ago.

I mean shit, I bought their Google WiFi and they just straight up fucked all their users and released their Nest WiFi, pretending the Google WiFi doesn’t exist.

It’s $25 CAD. You can add 5 family members. It’s literally $5 per month.

And are you going to pay to host the petabytes of 4K content? Or are you going to expect other people to pay that when these creators jump ship?

I’m here, but barely. I’ve not went back to Reddit (got IP banned during the migration), but Lemmy is too focused on certain topics for me to enjoy it.

Mainly FOSS and Linux community FLOCKED to Lemmy. You really can’t say anything about anything without people coming out of the woods screaming about how stupid you are, how FOSS is better, and Linux is superior.

Remember the backlash over Sync for Lemmy? Massive hate from the Lemmy community because it wasn’t FOSS. Wouldn’t be shocked if the Boost for Lemmy dev stopped developing his app after seeing that. I feel like Lemmy is shooting itself in the foot and pushing people away.

No porn? Why?

.ca allows porn. You actually have to click “show NSFW” during sign up if you want to see it, so it’s not on by default, and it’s very easy to turn on/off if you want it.

I find that the instances that ban porn also ban a lot of other stuff that isn’t bad. Feels like I’m in church and everything is being censored.
