No. If the project is interesting enough for people spending their time developing and using it there will always be running Lemmy instances. The need for funding over the amount people are willing to dedicate to a hobby project is the death of a project like this.

I don't see a "we" in this, follow the free software way: Don't like it? Fork it yourself or don't use it.

Look at the people who hang around there.

Fuck "Hacker News", the people that hang around there are in major ways responsible for the shitty state the internet -and the world- is in now.

We use the ThinkCentre M715q ( Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE / 16 GB RAM) throughout the company (with only two exceptions) and on this hardware it is quiet nimble, even with a ton of rather heavy opened programs.

Regarding the acceptance... well, i think the difference in user interface of Gnome compared to Windows is rather a bonus, it is different enough to be recognized as something that has to be learned rather than invoking some "uncanny valley" effects. But we will see...

I am the "IT guy" for a medium sized industrial company and i am currently using Bluefin on my work computer, preparing to roll it out for the rest of the company if tests go well... my boss is quiet open for the change and if our ERP system is further behaving well in its virtualized environment the big switch will perhaps happen somewhere in the middle of the next year.

Do yourself a favor and try Vivaldi, while yes, it uses Chromium under the hood, it at least is made by some of the original Opera creators

1. Implement policies that makes voting for democratic parties more interesting than voting for extremists

2. Ban extremist parties

3. Violence if lawful ways to combat parties that are threatening the constitution is otherwise not possible (as stated in the German constitution)

I see it that way: Anybody who attempts to kill the free and open Internet is somebody i would personally see as an enemy - regardless of political affiliation.
