I’ve logged back onto here for the first time in ages because I do not trust big tech.

because I do not trust big tech.

Dude, same. I mean, I get that's why many are here, but it's just gotten so much worse lately.

Starting to build my first Linux machine to use as my daily driver laptop. Been meaning to get into it all for years, but Microsoft's constant shenanigans as of late and everyone on Lemmy really pushed me to take the plunge.

It'll be a "baby's first project" of a used Thinkpad running on Mint, but it's a start to getting out from under these corporate fucks. Every step away is a step to which I'm not planning to return.

Hopefully they are active and interesting people.

[-] trashboat@midwest.social 5 points 17 hours ago

I am not interesting

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 5 points 17 hours ago

Lemmy needs post creators above all but we will take everyone

[-] Mio@feddit.nu 1 points 10 hours ago

Do you have a graph for these numbers?

So we have about as many users as the subreddit dedicated to Taylor Swift's armpits

This is hilarious, but I need facts.

All together, we (Lemmy) are hotter than oatmeal, but we're less interesting than office chairs. (On Reddit).

[-] AmbientChaos@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago

Everyone is comparing active users to total users though, Lemmy's total users is about 10x the number of actives users at 477k. I think you have to post or comment to be marked active?

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 11 hours ago

Ooh. Interesting. Thanks. Might need to revisit. See if we can compete with office chairs, after all. Lol.

Thank fuck, maybe I can go back to being a lurker lol

I've probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO

[-] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago

Fellow lurker at heart here. Kinda heartwarming to see a bunch of lurkers doing things out of their comfort zone!

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 9 points 17 hours ago

My app tells me I upvoted you 12 times in the last 10 days. Thank you

I tend to lurk just because I have nothing to add to the conversation lol

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I don't let that stop me.

Yeah, I can tell; I've had a sharp uptick in people picking arguments and then sticking their fingers in their ears.

It's no wonder when every other comment on Reddit is an obvious bot. Either the bots here are less obvious or they're not here yet.

[-] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

What do you mean user adjective - noun numbers is a bot?

Definitely above the threshold of immortality.
