I remember this issue from Sync for Reddit. It happened on every page that loaded content including the sub/community feed.

Is this a repost? I've seen this exact same post somewhere.

Anyway, SimpleX may not be decentralized OOTB, but can be made to be since their relays are self-hostable. It should be as simple as spinning up an instance and changing the url in app.

The Proton free tier is pretty limited compared to Gmail, in particular for me, you're only allowed 1 label. The basic paid tier opens up a lot more. They definitely want you to upgrade to the paid tier.

IMO the title is incorrect because the common interpretation of getting "burned out" is that of the same individuals of a population losing effectiveness after working hard. The article even likens the term "exhausted" the same interpretation of the phrase:

Altogether, our research suggests that T cells in tumors are not necessarily working hard and getting exhausted. Rather, they are blocked right from the start.

This same quote describes the truth of the phenomenon where it's not individuals getting "exhausted", but cellular signalling permanently altering the expression of T cells to make them less and less effective.

A more correct title would be something like:

Cancer makes every generation of T cells worse than the last

Isn't this a strange article title? The whole point of it is to show T cells don't actually get "burned out" at all. And imo it's not like the real reason is uninteresting.

Why dress the article in the exact thing it's refuting?

I would hope in the future we get a more fleshed out version of multireddits. I think it would be a decent solution since I don't think duplication of communities is a phenomenon that will ever go away.

Joined on one instance, it went away, had to create a new account on this instance.

That's a really annoying issue. Not being able to trust an instance to keep your account alive plants the seeds for a centralization problem in the future.

Agreed, though I think it's less "we don't want you here" and more "you're on your own". I liken it to Linux in that sense where new users are expected to try harder to learn the ins and outs. The difference is with Linux what you learn can be applied in so many more places in your Linux experience. With Lemmy, once you grasp the technical depth of it there's not much you can do with it except explain it to another person.

I agree, though I probably wouldn't call it marketing or advertising. Maybe just a better and more accessible introduction and onboarding experience.

 
  1. Exclude explicit software bugginess or missing features
  2. Include experiences or knock-on effects that may have arisen from (1)
  3. Comparisons to Reddit are ok. We know the reasons for the differences, but this is just about expressing yourself

Except OP is starting a meta discussion about Reddit discussions, not a direct discussion about Reddit. I don't necessarily agree with OP, but you've crafted an artificial contradiction using a false equivalence. I'd be happier if we left the Reddit-tier logic back where it belongs.

At the beginning of the pandemic I looked into ways to de-Google and found Nextcloud. It wasn't the easiest thing to start with, especially for a novice, but I had the time and the hardware, and I'm the type to not mind jumping into something difficult if it means solving a specific problem. I then found out about Bitwarden and had a great experience setting that up. After that I was confident enough to try hosting anything I could find. It's been good times ever since 😀
