Not only do I not care about the decentralization, I dislike it. When instances started banning each other last year I stopped using lemmy and I only come back occasionally.

Deutsche mark I guess but they are not used anymore

Piracy is free

$20 for a movie is way too much and it also doesn’t require $1000 hardware to watch it

$30 for a movie is insane

All kinds of sports equipment falls in that price range and can entertain you just as long, if not longer

Launching without hashtags was pretty weird, 0 discoverability. I didn’t want to use my instagram account for threads so i made a new one and it was pretty much impossible to discover people to follow. Also the content was not great, I wouldn’t really count on the instagram community to deliver good content especially in text form

If Lemmy continues to grow I’ll continue to spend most of my time here, but that seems like it’s no guarantee

Imo there’s enough people on here already. It would be nice if it could grow to enable more niche communities, but for my current usage there’s more than enough people

if anything the ultra thing is making it more complicated

Why do laptops need to be thin anyway? I kinda understand it for phones because they need to fit in tight pockets, but even then they were thin enough years ago we don’t need to lose features to make them thinner
