The Apollo dev (/u/iamthatis) estimated that the new pricing would cost him $20m per year. I raised this with Reddit -- they said that his calculations were "totally wrong", but they were unable to discuss why. Given that the Apollo dev literally just multiplied the cost by the number of requests, I have trouble seeing how this could be wrong.

lol

Yep, for things you host absolutely. However, P2P applications (e.g. torrent clients) are still going to be negatively affected by this.

It's not a configurable option. Maybe with a custom interface change, but I'm not convinced that making changes to Lemmy.one that remote users don't experience is the best move.

Ah right, as the developers are self-described communists I imagine that had something to do with who was drawn to Lemmy initially, but I definitely think it all evens out as more people join. I haven't seen much in the way of politics in general on some of the newer big servers like Beehaw.org, and we don't really have political communities hosted locally on lemmy.one at all.

I think it's improved significantly in the last 6 months, and I'm enjoying using it here so far!

Don't know! We'll evaluate it as we go, I don't have an issue with enabling them if it's clear that not having them is problematic, but I also don't think people need a negative indicator to know not to engage with low-quality content.

Oh, modifications. Yeah, no way to do anything like that as far as I know, to preserve consistency across different instances.
