There's something to that. Hearing stories of subreddits reopen and ask the userbase what they want to do, well, who exactly are they asking? I'm not there, and I've seen plenty of posts from others who are also not there. Are they taking silence as votes against? I doubt it.

One way I'm looking at this opportunity is like email, anyone can set up an email server thanks to how it got established. So if this pans out and eventually we get funded hosts in the vein of Gmail and Hotmail, who spend money writing fancy UIs and on marketing, we still have a fundamental base where we can shuffle away from the big players and go set up our own servers.
I do hope to see some funded options come into this space, they can control/own their interface into the data, but they can't control/own the data.
I think people are seeing Reddit as their only solution right now due to the lack of awareness of this place. It's been a bit sad to see all the news articles written about the event but very few plugs for alternate options to visit.
Because some of us saps don't have a phone capable of iOS 16+ which is what Mlem is targeting. Memmy runs great.
I'm only interested in it if I can plant an oak seed and see the tree grow.
Running the Memmy update today with dark mode and I had moments where my brain thought I was scrolling through Apollo. Gonna be very happy with the app if it continues down this route.
Nice, I’d totally forgotten about this game. I had this on the Spectrum. Seem to remember it came in a double height cassette box. Had a lot of fun playing it back in the day, though I think I was easier to please back then. It’s odd that I never forgot owning and playing Powerdrift but now looking back I’m feeling like I played this more.
Memmy for iOS and Android has just launched. I’m posting from it right now.

EDIT: Extra note on this because it's been a topic of conversation. Memmy supports iOS 15 (Mlem is 16> only with no plans to go lower).
Non directly, they own a lot of companies and IP. A LOT.
Gearbox, Coffee Stain, Deep Silver, Warhorse, Aspyr, Saber, THQ Nordic, Dark Horse Comics, 3D Realms, Volition, Ghost Ship Games.
You can put them in the same sphere as Microsoft with all their owned companies as both were out scooping them up over the last few years.
Great answer, thanks.
I'm not hugely familiar with SEO, but I seem to remember there could be a penalty applied to content that is duplicated as it's seen as spammy. I might be wrong on how this works though, and it could be based around only content pasted within a single domain.
I just wonder how search engines will deal with seeing the same content across a lot of instances in terms of ranking and noise.

I look forward to the day of Lemmy IE6 with custom activex features.
