Most interactions I've had here have been very nice and friendly. I see pointless fighting sometimes, but I mostly avoid such posts and communities anyway.
I guess what I was going for is that there's still tons of good stuff.
If it's all of these links and just on Memmy, it's probably an issue with the app. I use Voyager and they work fine. You could ask about that at !memmy@lemmy.ml or file an issue at their GitHub if someone hasn't already.
I don't think that matters at this point. Flatpak is widespread and Canonical can't possibly expect the linux crowd to choose the proprietary alternative. I could see snap being the one, had they just handled it differently.
Yeah, I think I won't wait for the Play release to happen anymore because Google experience has been nothing but a bunch of hoops they want me to jump through.
Well, let's just say that I doubt you'll be able to sell this idea to instance admins.
However, you can become the change you wish to see yourself. You can start scraping today and create your own dumps that way; the apis are yet to be closed.
So you fear that instance admins would start closing their apis. It would've been real helpful if that was on the on the original post.
The api is accessible and I don't see that changing because it is, y'know, required for federation. If you want backups, you can start scraping or host a private instance that subscribes to everything you want to save.
Releasing dumps the way you described would be a massive burden on admins, or even completely infeasible.
