Lol, I love the spirit. However lemmy.org is for sale for 6666,00, so I don't even want to think about how much lemmy.com would cost. If I understand correctly it's owned by GoDaddy atm.
Actually, I thought about getting lem.my and make an instance with it (there are ways to rent it even if you don't live in malaysia and it's not too expensive) but tbh I think websitename.com would be the better option because it's the most common format.
That said, I would prefer if Lemmy had proper filter options. As long as something is within the law, I am okay with others to consume it, even if I don't want to consume it. It's like political opinions, religions etc. Stay within the law and you can do whatever you want - I don't always like it, but as long as I can filter it out I am fine with it existing.
Tbh, I feel like it actually should be defederated.
I am not against porn, I literally made an account there like I have a separate account on reddit for porn, but I would love to not have all the porn stuff flooding the feed on my sfw account. Sadly there are no convenient filter options yet as it seems.
I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry. Some of these people spent hundreds of hours building up a subreddit and maintaining it and you call them power hungry because they don't want to lose what they worked so passionate for - for free.
I have to be honest, currently I don't see myself staying on Lemmy over Reddit.
All I want it browsing communities (subreddits) as easy and accessible as possible. I spend most of my time on my frontpage and r/all, the "it just works" feeling is nothing that Lemmy gives me so far.
Lemmy seems to be a thing for enthusiast. I have my doubt it will stick with the everyday average user.
McLaren handling those hards like champs :O
