The biggest advantage is backwards compatibility with existing x86 software. You will lose that with a switch to ARM.
GitHub is owned by Microsoft and it seems to be getting worse. It is also nearly a monopoly and that’s bad in general.
We’re going to need a replacement for github pretty soon.
@dryguy The algorithm needs to be improved. It needs to adjust for the number of boosts/favorites that large communities get. You should be seeing posts from all of the subs you are subscribed too and not just the most popular ones.
You mean the Fediverse as a whole, not any one specific platform? In that case yes. But it won’t be just Lemmy.world or even all of the Lemmy instances. It will be all the platforms that use the ActivityPub protocol that in combination will replace Reddit.
Traditionally, the alternatives to Reddit were worse than Reddit. This is the first time that that is no longer true.
You can also make an argument that Reddit was the improved version of Digg. History can repeat itself if the Fediverse proves to a superior model.
