Just another grift of his idiot fans. I’m torn because I want them to waste their money but I would rather he didn’t have more.

Brilliant title 😎🤣

Like… it would have to actually work. That’s not a regulatory problem he can bulldoze.

That’s entirely up to us!

I’m thinking about this also. I felt the same about WF. I don’t want to invest energy in medium or another commercial enterprise that will just wipe my content someday.

I’m starting to think the answer is to throw away the idea of a blog as its own entity. Post your content in the appropriate community in the fediverse, and self host communities you can’t find or trust. Decentralize your blog content as much as possible.

Thanks! It’s a real thing I started IRL in the before-times, in the spirit of 18th century thinkers. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Society_of_Birmingham ) It’s the ideal I have for Lemmy so it made sense to run my instance using that name.

Agreed. Reddit is dead to me. This community is the primary.

Ok then I hope all the business accounts, social media reps, uptime reports, customer service hotlines, and advertisers plan to stop using Twitter.

“it appears that the GOP’s leadership may have played themselves into making the right call for the right underlying reasons (the censorship powers), but based on a near total misunderstanding of how the world actually works.”

Stopped clocks and all that.

“If you’re a Twitter diehard who’s not willing to swap to X, it might be finally time to ditch X for Mastadon or Threads. On your way out, don’t forget to delete your X account.”

Best advice in the article.

Can we just roll it all up in a big ball and shoot it into space on a rocket? That worked great in Futurama… 😉

Tailscale plugin for HA works flawlessly for me.

Nothing outside the LAN. Just Tailscale installed on my Synology NAS, on HomeAssistant and on all my machines.

I use Downie (on Mac) but there’s a video downloader app for every platform. It doesn’t download the ads either 😉

This! I am getting really tired of being everybody’s beta tester.

I think they are great if it’s about 40% talk and 60% socialize. The point of talks should be to stimulate a conversation that happens in the hallway. If it’s just one way content absorption, that could’ve been done remotely. 

I desperately miss the networking and socializing and the people I met and the interesting conversations that I could not have planned for. I hope eventually my company starts sending us again.

Yes, came over from reddit. Spinning up my own Lemmy to contribute something to the Fediverse, and trying to set up monitors for it.

Been trying to subscribe but it’s stuck in pending. Happy to be here tho!
