... Steam is basically a family owned business it's literally the exact example of what a perfectly acceptable large business is.
And fuck I ain't here cause I know something wrong. The fuck you get that idea from. I'm here because reddit doesn't have a good app that's literally it. I would happily go back to reddit if i could have my old app back.
Lemmy has fuck all for communities, basically no users, and the majority of it is just regurgitated from reddit anyways. I could give less of a rats ass about the whole open source thing. It's neat and all from a novelty perspective.
But frankly the hard on for open source this self hosted that is a massive nothing burger. Closed or open sources. What ever is the easier and more convenient option wins full stop.
Lemmy won cause the apps were more convenient.
