That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.

Welcome to all you new folks! Water is great!

What is TIHI? Thanks I Hate It? That is all that comes to mind.

It isn’t hard to sign up for. No one is saying that is the case. It gets confusing when people start talking about adding subscriptions from other instances and how you can copy and paste the link and subscribe. That right there is where 95% of the people on the internet stop caring.

If the developers of Lemmy and the wider Fediverse ever get that fleshed out in an intuitive way I think popularity will go pretty fast.

That and long term if there is a way for information to be collectively backed up so that if some owner shuts down an instance everything isn’t gone.

Well, it’s not a huge mystery or anything…people love the communities they build up. You feel a sense of loyalty to the people and to the idea behind the community.

Dude. Its about power and control. It has little to do with any sense of loyalty. I’m sure there are a few that have some measure of loyalty, but very few mods are doing it because they just love the topic they moderate. They’re doing it because it gives them power and control and they love that. Absolutely no one can convince me otherwise.

Battle.Net forums, regardless of the game, have always been a miserable experience. You have severely pedantic developers and admins. Then you have some of the most neckbearded min/max players on the internet. They will get into squealing arguments over 5pts of DPS on a WOW character build. It is truly an awful place to hang out.
