Ive tried both. I prefer Memmy. But i feel the Mlem devs are doing their best. Give them time. We will see some good competition between the two!

Apparently i sound like a bot when writing applications…

Probably a lot. They love bootlicking

Waste of money.

Giving and receiving gold was surprisingly, one of my least favourite things. Someone gave me gold once and i felt beholden to say thank you? I didnt ask for it, i didnt comment in hopes of getting given “gold”. I never gave anyone else gold. Why would i give a shit about getting it myself? Its a fucking forum.

True yeah. Im just hoping more people move off these kind of websites to be honest. Shame to see more money go to them.

Yeah, If its just me on my own instance i would only have to run it when im actually using lemmy. Saving energy on my own, and bandwidth and load on other instances maybe?

Slice!

Yeah your issue is youre looking it from the perspective of a cancer cell. Growth isnt always good. Too much growth and you run out of resources. Keeping things sustainable and self sufficient and not reliant on loans and “infinite growth” ponzi economics tends to work better in the long run. (Example: libraries)
