In a manner of speaking. But basically it was Firefox’s great great grandpa.

I was a die hard Firefox fan since it was Netscape navigator. But their refusal to adopt PWAs will always keep me one foot in edge/chrome.
I’ve been flirting a bit with Opera GX because of the sidebar, hard ram/cpu limits, and “my flow” feature. super handy when you’re moving between max and windows all day. But it also doesn’t do PWAs so that’s still super annoying.
On Mac I really do like safari. But they don’t have it for windows so I guess I’m just doomed to use multiple browsers.

In and out is nasty anyway. I dont get why they are still in business and people seem to like it. Far worse than arbys even imho

I would also contend that it’s good for creating more content for people to consume. Lemmy desperately needs more content to be able to provide a compelling experience for most people to put up with the cumbersome nature and awkward aspects of the fediverse.

I mean it has removable key caps but I probably won’t do Colemak. I type more than I code these days.

Just feel’s antithetical to FOSS and decentralized social media. I came to Lemmy because a corporate douche was ruining Reddit because management and users had different ideas about what is and isn’t acceptable uses of that platform. Lemmy throwing up a big ol firewall because someone does it differently to them just isn’t what I expected to find here. Maybe that’s my fault. But Lemmy has a content and user drought. And I’m okay with that as long as it’s showing growth. I mean it takes a long time to build up content and communities.
But with beehaw defederating everyone they don’t like and the official Lemmy devs now basically doing the same thing to threads when the fediverse finally starts to go mainstream and attracting a wealth of new users just leaves a “throw the baby out with the bath water” impression on me.
But it seems like I’m the oddball one out here judging by the downvotes and overall negative responses from Lemmy-ers but it’s just my perspective.

I agree. But not everyone on that app are people who share greedy and hurtful ideas. Thats just extreme generalization imho.

I don’t understand this logic. Don’t we want Lemmy to be more mainstream and user friendly? Preemptively blocking any mainstream attempt to connect and bring in more users just sounds slightly petulant to me. Like I get meta = shitty company but I don’t get why we shouldn’t encourage more people joining the fediverse. And getting external help in growing it. And threads was the first mainstream olive branch that showed Lemmy, Kbin, and mastodon has legitimacy worth building infrastructure to join.
Idk blocking other people categorically from connecting just seems antithetical to the idea that it should be a decentralized system free to all to join.
But I’m new here, so maybe Im mistaken on the ethos of Lemmy.

It started with me using a profile picture with a hair on it to cause a “mystic smear” when someone would try and wipe their phone screen but now it’s just my name lol.

Man, I’m so glad I’m here. Seeing all the cool things and excitement from the community reminds me of the early days of Reddit. This looks really awesome!
It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.
