This is why fediverse UI and intuitiveness being as good as possible, rather than "open sourcey", is so important.
Everything helps. Those of you who are working on the Fediverse, thank you!
Where can I learn more about fediverse?
A reddit thread about this is what actually led me here. Reddit has been on my shit list for a while, it's cool this place exists.
Welcome! Bring your content, enjoy the friendly people :)
And form a positive opinion on Linux man. Just any opinion. They'll slaughter you without one it's rough out there
I love my Steam Deck.
And if you don't have an opinion on linux just reply with "I use arch btw"
Linux bad
We should be going back on there and proselytizing (and on this end, welcoming new users with h links to documentation etc.) btw if you're new I recommend checking out the various mobile clients. I personally use lemmy sync because of muscle memory from years of using it on reddit, but there's a number of open source ones too.
I agree. I do worry about the barrier to entry for some people. I know it gets brought up a lot here but I think it's a valid criticism.
Looking into apps was actually the first thing I did after making an account!
I used Sync for a few minutes, but then settled on Voyager because they don't collect any data.
Voyager is very nice btw.
Non-corporate owned media is going to be the only way to escape the continued enshittification of the internet.
Huffman isn't bending the knee. He's been deep throating Musk for quite a while. Even before the whole API thing, it was known the he saw Musk as a great role model.
Yeah, Reddit hasn’t been safe in a long time. If people are only just now realizing that, it’s because they’ve been extremely sheltered from… Well… Gestures vaguely at everything
You are correct. I didn't realize how shit it was until I focused on being more security minded. I ditched almost all centralized social media. I'm working to get rid of Facebook and hopefully google next. That's going to be hard .
Huffman? The guy involved in lossless compression?
Could there be a better example of why not to remain on Reddit?
The United States of America has become comfortable with bending the knee to petulant man-children. What an utterly pathetic time to be an American. Truly embarrassing.
I hope that a new breed of American can rise from this inferno, who exemplifies what it means to be good people. Whether some of us will be standing proud a decade from now...who knows?
I missed reddit simply because I can't find the fucking porn on Lemmy (though I realize now that it might be because I"m on lemm.ee)
No I have no reason to miss it
You may need to check the "show NSFW" button in your settings.
I do, but it never shows up on my feed
Some Lemmy instances block lemmynsfw, so you won’t see it.
This is a little too vanilla and 3D for my taste, but thank you
there's some good 2d stuff on that instance too

Eventually, someone will Luigi Elon. Absolutely no one will care.
I’d care! I’d throw a massive fucking party.
Hey now... for about 10 minutes a bunch of people with names like Groyper1488, IdFuckMyTeslaIfItHadATailpipe and BitcoinKing will be very upset.
They won't care that he has been luigied, they will care about their shytocurrency.
Hence why the period of mourning would only be 10 minutes.
Well I’m here
Welcome back! Lemmy’s a decent amount better than it was a year and a half ago :)
Well, we're a lot angrier because of
The world
This one came out of the blue. the API blackout had notice and time to organize. People were talking about reddit alternatives and protesting for weeks before the API blackout happened

Most have come back, /drugs for example. The admins said its a glitch, I can't beleive that and glad I'm here. I have no doubt reddit will get on its knees in the name of $$$$$$.
When people come here from reddit remember to highlight them on decentralization and open source software. People need to understand why certain platforms and services are better not simply switch side.

what was that song again the slave owners sang? 'land o'the freeeee' or sth.... it gets funnier the more history they produce.
Good. That will only sped up Reddit pulling a bluesky on their asses.
All they need to do is find a distributed alternative that won't bend the knee to any one entity.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
