There’s a q&a meeting on the 26th i think - should get some clarification. I’d love to see better bike access connecting residential areas with businesses.

I’m getting some Wells Fargo vibes here

Because I’m laying in my hammock out back with a beverage and my wifi isn’t pulling its weight outside the house

You’re not wrong. I don’t give it access to my lan. The roku, we’ve had for so long, I’m accepting the data collection from - but it’s also not a 1500 dollar device…

I recently purchased an expensive samsung tv. There is no way to disable advertisements or data tracking… They’re selling you an pricey piece of hardware and want to sell your data - double dipping at its finest.

(My solution has been not to agree to their tos, which means i can’t use any of the apps on it. I just plug in a roku and use the tv as a monitor. Also looking at adblock/pihole once i get a proper firewall back up)

My guess is that redditers will want lemmy to be just like…reddit, but without the public-corp nonsense and with UI that is at minimum on-par with 3rd party apps people gravitate toward on reddit.

I’m totally new to this so I’m also figuring out my way around. The federated organization is confusing for sure, but not so much that people can’t get it.

Some work could be done from a user focus… Simplify(including caring for duplicated hosts and communities), educate on lemmy’s benefits, make searching for new communities seamless and less of a quest.
