I still remember him and his over-sized knock-off reese's mug.

It's a war of attrition. Slow and steady will win this race.

Lemmy, just like Mastodon has seen spikes followed by users leaving. But every spike leaves more users on Lemmy/Mastodon than previously.

Truthfully, in the event another Reddit Exodus, which will happen, we need to try and be more of a content-oriented system during that era. Making more posts and focusing on adding to niches.

Reddit is about Niche communities and Content Saturation. Lemmy isn't really about that, but it can be for moments at a time to pull users in. At some point we'll reach a critical mass of users that leads to easier justification for new users to join.

We just need a group of extremely disorganized and disagreeable people to organize and and agree on this.

oh no

Just noticed that the mug needs to be changed, but otherwise...

Alternatively:

The other side of that being Security through Obscurity.

If you're not running all your stuff through a major well-known host like Google or Amazon you're less likely to be a target than if you're just self-hosting.

Supposedly Google and Amazon have "good" security, but they still get hacked.

You know those hackers aren't ever gonna give you up.

Money! Money! Money!

AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGH

This post is the equivalent of a throw away round in Cards Against Humanity where the card you threw away somehow won.

It's not just a boulder, it's a rock.

I agree, but when most of my "elders" growing up believed computers to be this magical voodoo money printer box that just happens to go on facebook, It's not suprising they believed any job relating to a computer was safe and stable.

Can vouch, everyone told me growing up that computer jobs were a safe and stable choice because "everyone needs computers."

and a brother.
