It's also one of my favorites.

I think your assessment is optimistic.

He'll ruin the gov like he ruined X

Hey thanks, I do lean a little hard on the self deprecating humor sometimes.

Reddit has been getting worse for years, and the comments there are so adversarial and insincere.

Users definitely can get sick of bad sites, what happened with X shows that. Their user base is a small fraction of what it was a few years ago.

I'm definitely liking it here though!

They care about money. If they don't go alone with it they probably get fined. So yeah, I think they will.

And it's not uncommon. Lots of countries don't call other countries by their names. Japan is Nihon. China is Zhōngguó. Germany is Deutschland.

But those are for historical reasons, changing it specifically to be different is nuts.

More like I have no personality and just go with the flow 😜

In 2010 I was part of the Great Digg Exodus, and now in 2025 I'm part of the Reddit->Lemmy migration. Truly I'm part of the crowd.

At this point I've decided to migrate away from WordPress. I should have a while ago.

CanSpace.ca looks really cool, thanks for suggesting it!

Sounds like I need to migrate away from wordpress. Which I kind of already knew.

I hadn't found that one yet! Thank you!

The sites I run don't get too much traffic, but performance is still important. When I looked into hostpapa I saw a lot of bad reviews online. You can't believe everything you read, though it's enough to keep me cautious.

This might be my choice. I'm going to do more reading.

 

Hey! It's my first post!

I have a few websites that are hosted in the USA. I'm going to move them all to Canadian hosts. I'm looking for recommendations for hosting companies in Canada that are owned by Canadians. I've look at a few but first hand experience is always welcome.

Most of my sites are just basic html/css/javascript but one of them is a wordpress storefront. I specifically need the Wordpress site to be as fast as possible - a difficult task for wordpress, I know.

Also, glad to see this community! Great stuff!
