It’s a safe bet.

The bubble will burst, that’s our boom-bust cycle. I think we’re at the point where it is always a few bad decisions away.

I’m actually impressed that it’s still going

Coincidentally, The FED was made to stop boom-bust cycles before WWI. It’s never, ever worked, and it will never start working.

1. If you are just a basic prole who wants to use a forum and discuss today’s issues, Lemmy seems to be a smaller version Reddit. How does it stand out?

2. The name is awful. Twitter grew regardless of the name, so maybe this point is dumb. Also, avatar looks like a rat.

3. Rainbow. If you want more users, expand your market. Rainbow in USA means Democrat LGB. Would you like more Christians and Muslims to join? Hindu?

4. I’m a moron, not a programmer… but wouldn’t a lot more users destroy Lemmy? From my reading of what other smarter people have said, too much growth would lead to exponential costs and isn’t really feasible. I am not well read on this topic, so apologies.

I would guess that the founders made these design decisions to exclude normies, maybe that’s also why they picked the name and selected the rat icon. In which case, everything is working as designed and all is well.

My windows “start” menu takes at least a full minute to open. Then, when I select, say, Control Panel, it takes another full minute, totally blank with no options

I’m not a programmer or even smart, but isn’t that absolute shite? I’ve used Commodores, Apple II, Macs, 386, 486, have used windows since first job (I don’t remember my first Windows version, but it played Tetris in color. Three? haha 3)

Menus have always worked before.

My next laptop will be linux Mint because I like mint ice cream. Does it have menus that open? I am super excited.

I apologize but it made me really mad and now i feel better.
