    I think the moment a decent app becomes available, or Spez does something else fucking stupid, active users are gonna skyrocket again.

      Connect is pretty good, and right now is ad free.

      💯 Lemmy is self-sustaining now, and the programmers/server admins are getting experience with scaling. IMO Lemmy is now open for business to steal users every time Reddit does something shitty. I’d say spez should be worried, but he probably doesn’t actually care past the pump&dump IPO and if Reddit becomes a ghost town after that he’ll have already rode off into the sunset.

      Our role now is to continue making this a viable alternative. We must walk so they can run (away from Reddit)

      what would spez have to do? he just made a bunch of the users lose money by removing/expiring coins.
