A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Lol I was just about to post this. Yeah this is a decision for sure. Wouldn't be surprised if this causes another big spike in Lemmy usage
May it be so.
Probably not. People will hang onto stuff because "everybody's there" and "but lemmy doesn't have enough content" 🤷♂

I think it could be the "digg v4" of reddit. People want to use the most popular free platform. If faced with a paywall on reddit, they'll just go somewhere else. Most likely people will go over to Threads, but maybe some will find Lemmy.
Don't forget "it's too complicated"
"Selecting a server is too complicated". Won't ever understand that.

But what if I pick the server with all the furries? 🧐
We can file that under: expanding worldviews.

Well probably the average Joe may not even know what a server is, not even being able to chose a server which is the best suited for him.
Spikes are not that interesting. In fact, hey can harm more than be useful (server problems during peak, maybe for days, sudden cost increase for maintainer) if its not an organic and slow increase. The longterm conversion rate is much more important.
Yep, this is good for Lemmy
