This sounds very non open source to me, it already has a per user price, vc funding, etc. Are you able to take it and host it yourself if you want? Can you fork the code?

I’ve worked in sales for 25 years and I have yet to encounter this mythical “well implemented salesforce instance”.

Imagine simping for a 3 trillion dollar company that did this for the sole purpose of making more money on wireless earbuds. SMH.

It’s true, that’s the advantage of a larger user base. But when I compare my homepage of Reddit after 15 years of refinement to that of my lemmy homepage after 1 year, my lemmy one is way better. Most of those niche communities devolve into memes and nonsense like the same questions being asked over and over and over again after a while. Great for searching, but for actually getting content on a regular basis from, mostly a waste of time.

They don’t have to have everyone on them to be good. In some ways it’s preferable not to. Reddit was far better before the Digg migration, and we might already be living in the golden years of Lemmy and not even realize it.

I think the smartest ones will. Really I don’t mind an intelligent community like this one.

It has improved here though, thank Jeebus.

I fully agree. When I feel like using a Twitter like platform (which is exceedingly rare), I use Mastodon

I never liked Twitter to begin with so I’m not one to defend him. My preferred one is Mastodon, but generally I don’t like the format to begin with. At any rate, I’ll still take pre-musk Twitter over Xitter any day.

It will almost certainly become Twitter as it was created by the Twitter founder. The only difference being that it will become the Twitter from before Musk took over. Which is a massive difference.

Yeah another clickbait headline. It’s getting recharged all the time, it’s just very lucky to be in a use case where it goes down hills with large loads all the time

Thanks for letting me know about this. Just installed it. Now if they supported multiple mastodon accounts, I’d really be cooking.

Funny they killed the free tier almost the same day as Microsoft made the outlook announcement. I dumped both of them for Thunderbird. Not as pretty but does the job for the limited use case I have:

Me too.

This is a key part of fascism, government and industry being one and the same entity.

Next pump and dump: the American economy.

Inferior range, potential for interference, power consumption, meshing, and security. Name one area where it’s better.

And I still expect one or more of these companies to break the standard to create their own walled garden.

Zwave and zigbee have never needed a cloud.

I live in a country with 10 million people and it works here. But yes there are probably some that don’t have the frequencies.

I would argue you get what you pay for in terms of interoperability and reliability, but I can imagine people willing to trade some of that for a lower price.
