This is standard perpetual licensing seen across many software.
One off payment = you get a perpetual license for the major version of the software including all patches for it.
Subscription = you pay a smaller fee than the one off payment per annum. You get all updates and patches. But when you stop paying, you don't get anymore updates or patches and you can lose access to the software.
I thought about using it a few years ago but their pricing was just too expensive.
Linuxist... I've not seen that term before; I like it. I suppose it's for the super hardcore Linux user?
Interesting you lumped them with the other two. XD
The only way I can see them serving adverts is by using submissions as the mechanism. But I assume there is no feedback to show how many impressions those submissions have made. So how can Meta sell those advertising spots without any data to flaunt to advertisement buyers and how do they appropriately charge them.
No one said such a thing. Where did you get it from?
I don't get why they want to defederate without any experience of it either. Let's see what Meta brings to the table. Maybe they'll shine a light on the Fediverse and we get a more varied group of people on the platform.
Where/how is this obtained?
I'm curious about seeing an entire list of defederated instances.
One big issue that Lemmy has because it's a distributed service is the dilution of results.
For example, there is only one Reddit domain (that people use to access the service) but there are hundreds/thousands of Lemmy domains and the dilution will continue to increase as Lemmy's popularity increases. It's either that or there will only be a couple of Lemmy instances that will dominate all of Lemmy.
To summarise, I2P is similar to Tor, except that every client also serves as a node, and there are no exit nodes, so you can only access data shared by other I2P clients
Is my summary correct?
Anywhere where you're a repeat customer is probably selling your data. Any service you repeatedly use could also sell your data. Unfortunately it's just a way of life these days.
Who says that no-one is sucking up all of the Lemmy data right now and selling it to some entity? There is no way of knowing and there is no way to combat it.
