If you want to do that specifically. You could start your own instance and defederate beehaw and you would see any content from it. That’s kind of the point. Alternatively, don’t subscribe to any beehaw community and click on “subscribed” and you won’t see beehaw content. Or find an instance of your liking and then browse “local” and you won’t see beehaw content.

Go to the bottom of the page, click on the Instances link and you’ll se 2 lists, all federated instances and all defederated instances.

Another good point he made is about how he’s calculating this. He’s projecting current usage into the sub model.

But he’s probably very right that casuals will probably leave and power users will probably pay. So it’s the Spotify problem, your power users use you more costing you more but they don’t pay more so you start going in the red. Considering relay is not a VC backed app or anything like that. One miscalculation and one bad month and you could see thousands of dollars in surprise costs.

I just had a Rollercoaster of emotions. I was sad and angry to see relay go be sure it’s been with me for idk how long (more than 10 years? Has it been that long?). But then losing relay would severely cut my reddit time and lemmy being a lot smaller meant that I could potentially kick this habit. So was kind of excited.

Then I read your message that relay is not going and I’m like “fuck! My addiction will never be cured!” Then saw its a subscription model and now I’m really conflicted.

OK, on one side, 9999 is less than 10000 and it doesn’t make it any better. On another side, Microsoft is literally the one selling you the game. What the hell are they going to say? “Oh yeah, BTW, this is an unusable bug ridden fest! Hahaha! Bethesda right?”

Next on the news, ExxonMobil says CO2 emissions are not that bad… Jfc
