What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Lemmy.world holding such a prevalent place in the Lemmy/Kbin part of the Fediverse makes it a major single point of failure.

They should still be the newcomers instance, but communities and users should migrate to other instances to increase the resilience of the Fediverse.

    It is not what is called β€œsingle point of failure β€œ. Usually if β€œsingle point of failure β€œ fails, the whole thing fails. I am on kbin and experience zero failures.

    If they were to actually go down (the current failures do not affect the backend), all of the communities they host wouldn't be usable anymore, taking down a large portion of the Lemmy/Kbin communities.

    I created my first account there, which still exists. But on day 3 I created one at another instance, which I have used almost exclusively since.

    I wonder how many of their users are actually active.

    Same here, I created my first account there while simultaneously creating this one on Kbin.social. With all the issues there were with lemmy.world I've decided to use this one for a while instead to see how I like Kbin. It's been pretty nice so far, the only thing that sucks is that I haven't found a good Kbin app for Android yet.

    Isn't Artemis in beta?

    The uptime on lemmy.world is terrible. https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io currently shows 95% uptime, but it has been "down" from a UX perspective more than half the time I attempted to use it. The uptime reporting is simply not picking up when something is off as much as it should. And they recently added an archive.org proxy for when it goes down... what the heck? I understand that it is run by volunteers and all, but what a buzzkill.

    They are been attacked with a DDoS attack for quite some time now. I'm afraid there isn't much they can do.
