I wish there were alternatives to Reddit. If anyone has a recommendation, let me know.

[-] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 131 points 3 months ago

I almost feel like there's an answer there for you, but I can't put my finger on it.

However, last night I had a vision about th singer of Motorhead. I think it means something...

I'm struggling to see the connection with Lemmy "Kbin" Kilmister.

[-] Pips@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 3 months ago

Didn't he tour with Mastodon?

[-] rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 120 points 3 months ago

How do you feel about Linux and leftist infighting?

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

Love Linux, but why be redundant about leftists?

[-] yukichigai@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 3 months ago

Damn Leftists. They ruined Leftism!

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The wrong kind of Leftist ruined Leftism, not the right kind.

/s (because this one really needs it)

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

leftist infighting

There's a place that doesn't happen?

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Nobody hates leftists like slightly different leftists.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Sure but they are mostly Nazi bars and Klan rallies.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Sail the high seas.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 10 points 3 months ago

Give me leftist infighting over Nazi content any day of the week!

[-] webjukebox@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

IIRC there is an open source project for forums communities.

It's called SMF I think.

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 14 points 3 months ago

Nice avatar lol

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Simple machine forums (smf)

phpbb

Mybb

paid - ipboards, vBulletin

But that’s all software to run on your own server

Not sure if serious. πŸ˜‘

Anyway, before forums, there was a network of servers hosting discussions and to some extent file sharing.

The modern version of Usenet is pretty focused on file sharing and mostly so on paid servers.

I know right? Also iirc there was some discord alternative, but I can't quite remember the name... it's just as well, the company owning it probably shut it down. It's not like it's some free protocol that can be used by anyone, sigh 😞

[-] Pacmanlives@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I have been hearing really good things about this new service called X. Very small and friendly community. You just need to register an account and do 12 easy installments of 420.69 yearly

[-] DannyMac@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

I've heard good things about Lemmy
