According to this directory there's 1500 users on friendica.world, and at some point in my looking around last week I saw a total estimate of around 5000
The Bismark was a good ship because she was a giant waste of war resources for the Nazis
Not only that, there's still laws to consider

Check out https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=24
Monthly active users are actually pretty stable over the last 2 years, while posts and comments are steadily rising. While monthly active user growth would be better, I don't think we're in a bad spot right now.
Granted, all of Lemmy should strive to figure out how to get more people on the platform so more niche interests can hit critical mass. My point is that things are currently stable so the sky isn't falling
They already have a quiz on join-lemmy.org. they ask for interest and language, and filter instances based on that.
Granted the filtering could be better, as the top one recommended to me was sopulu.xyz. I like the Fins, but I can't speak any of the language. I had to scroll down about 10 to get to lemmy.world
Asking for low barrier to the largest instances
And what defines a low barrier for entry? I just checked the sign-up process for Lemmy.world, and it's just email > password > agree to ToS > complete a Recapcha. All on one page. How is that any different to any corporate social media site?
The big hassle for signing up for Lemmy is finding an instance that matches your preferences, but I don't see how that's possible to get around. The only thing I can think of is streamlining join-lemmy.org to better direct people to a fitting server.
I know I'm being combatative here, but the thing that bugs me people keep parrotting the same complaints of "there's too much friction" when that problem has pretty much been fixed. Please focus on the currently existing problems instead
Unfortunately, nerdy =/= tech literate, and it's mainly tech literate people here at the moment. While there's likely a higher concentration of nerds here, many fringe interests still haven't hit critical mass
What friction is there compared to besides picking an instance that works for the user?
Too often people say "There's too much friction every step of the way" when it's literally 1 extra step. That extra step might be a big pain itself, but don't exaggerate and make it out like there's more steps and pain than there really is
I wonder if PocketPair (Palworld devs) could flip a giant middle finger to Japan's entire system by refunding all Japanese customers for the game and refusing to sell it in Japan anymore. Japan is the only country where Nintendo could get their way in a patent lawsuit, so fuck 'em
Except anything they try to patent was already done by the GTA V Pokémon mod several years before any 3D Pokémon game
No. They have no proof. We know Valve's working on something but they always are and nobody knows what it is
Even if it was, is higher union membershop so bad? If you treat your employees right you should have nothing to fear from unions
Muskrat grew up as a trust fund baby on money from his dad's apartheid emerald mines. He's essentially clueless regarding technical skills and got where he is from just hiring people who knew what they were doing.
Unfortunately there's been a bunch of propaganda over the years making him out to be some super genius that's the lead engineer for all of his companies, and he's since bought into all of it
I personally like Jerboa, but I also used to use RIF is fun for Reddit which had a similar UI. I'm probably in the minority on preferences which is nothing new
Fair, but the title for the PC Gamer title sounds like the writer is taking it seriously, and they've had enough braindead takes they they don't get the benefit of the doubt from me anymore. I refuse to even click on the article.
Personally, I'm not a fan of Deck Mate, but I don't have a beef with the designer. My issue is with PC Gamer magazine
Fair
Just for anyone randomly stumbling upon this thread: make sure to throroughly check the picture of a listing. Look for LSI cards specifically. They have been purchased by 2-3 other companies, but you absolutrly need to do your research to make sure the manufacturer badge on the card is one of those companies. Don't just trust the title of the listing

TBF, not that different than when they got planes from Poland early on
