There a reason if the alternative doesn’t exist or isnt good enough.

It’s reasonably common.

Teams fail together, even if it is the fault of an individual. Use your voice and don’t approve PRs if you don’t believe they are production ready.

I bought music from several artists on Bandcamp and could not download some of it 12 months later. Artist unresponsive, Bandcamp support unwilling to help. And now Tencent has it’s tendrils in the company so expect it to get worse.

Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

Open source is better these days but it still can’t entirely replace everything. One day, we’ll be able to make the switch though

Ardour is close but not quite there yet IMO. Once a year or so I give it a try again but when Reaper works so well on Linux its hard to justify the switch.
