For me personally, they once stole a domain from me that I’d purchased from someone else, with no recourse whatsoever. I also saw them (firsthand) doing some shady things around their WHOIS lookup tool, where they’d register domains that users had searched for. I wouldn’t take my word for it though, I’m just some rando online, I’d do some searches to see just how many people have had issues with them over the years. Spoiler alert, it’s a LOT. There are even websites dedicated to detailing why GoDaddy is awful.

Please everyone, whatever you do, listen to this comment.

Please don’t recommend GoDaddy, someone may actually listen to you. They’re well known as one of the worst registrars. I would suggest you find a recommendation on this post that looks good to you and then move your domains there. Literally anywhere would be better than GoDaddy.

https://lemmyverse.net has been pretty helpful for finding new communities.

I feel like there would definitely be people who would enjoy something similar for Lemmy. I think with the federated nature of Lemmy, 3rd party tools are going to be crucial when it comes to widespread adoption, as I feel like they’re going to play a huge role in abstracting the confusing, nerdy parts of federation away from the general public.

There have been some reports that Reddit is restoring deleted comments, so it’s recommended that people overwrite their comments instead of deleting them.

The overwhelming majority of Redditors probably don’t really know what the actual issue is, and on the surface, Reddit charging for an API that they’ve allowed free access to for years probably seems logical. Plus, people are creatures of habit, they’d rather go back to the same website they’ve been visiting, with the community that they already know, than try to figure out what the heck a Lemmy is.
