we need to shitpost more. a neighborhood that is high in crime does not appeal to advertisers. like north korea, they live in paradise whilst convincing the rest of the world that it’s a shithole.
nah. Social Media has a sort of implied entertainment attached to it, which is not a good description of, e.g., this very discussion. This -can- be social media if you’re just lurking, but for us conversing here this is now a forum. We’re sharing thoughts and discussing.
preach. If anyone wants an example of what is meant by “forum” if you’re too accustomed to modern takes on it, visit places like news.ycombinator.com or just browse reddit using old.reddit.com and go in some less “popular” subs that aren’t just people posting random pics and videos.
I blame javascript. If it weren’t for people fucking with the time travel machine WE’D be the ones in the original timeline, and no one would have to suffer in this timeline where javascript got invented.
Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is...
Yeah that’s how I felt too. I remember being excited about g+, then I also remember aggressively turning off any association to g+ because no one was on it and it kept pushing it in my face. Come to think of it gmail was similar, invite only and that, but it wasn’t forced even at release and they made it look a lot nicer than what yahoo and hotmail had going on at the time.
I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason....
Oddly enough, since I’m so used to being open when I’m ~anonynous on the internet, when I need a confidence push to be open with someone in person I just pretend I’m on the internet and they’re a stranger, and bum bam wam suddenly I don’t give a shit what they think of me & I can just speak comfortably
Yea the lack of confidence is not without reason for sure. It’s like the “fake-it-till-you-make-it” idea which in practice only works when the feeling of insecurity is overstepping. The confidence boost just snaps me out of that headspace which is nice, and every now n then I still say something goofy but iddiswuddidis
yeah there’s also a difference in someone who is expecting private messages to stay private only to then have your handle get attention in a bigass community, did u forget the linked pic this thread is about lol
im so confused. I thought a guy was saying the original poster should have unblocked the name of the guy being weird with his song, i was saying that would be bad
It’s like in real life how people talk, to simplify e.g. we’re all speaking english here. Where as facebook speaks only facebook, twitter speaks only twitter, and reddit speaks only reddit… these instances all speak ActivityPub.
Bro, could you help me set one up ._. I tried docker, ansible, from scratch using rust, and I kept running into an error. I tried all three methods several times on Debian 11, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 20.
Was there a guide outside of the official docs or am I just too inexperienced? Like with the from scratch setup, had all dependencies listed installed, but every time rust starts opening crates after a minute it just throws some error.
I’ve tried looking online but I’m not savvy enough to find a good answer. I haven’t been on Reddit since June 30, and am interested in seeing the number of people who have migrated. I know the Reddit user base is huge, so idk if it has been enough to hurt the site. Fuck spez.
The issue isn’t about any one person… so many people here are making it a personal problem. The problem is the ability for literally anyone to track how ideas propagate PER USER. The person analyzing this data doesn’t care who any one person is in real life.
I’m trying Thunder right now and this one is very nice as well. But I’m getting the same problems as Connect… I click on a post from my profile and it says the post doesn’t exist.
At least on Thunder, it still loads the main post and I can scroll to my comment (which is how I’m replying to you. On Connect, my comment doesn’t even show up and other comments are missing.
A message to new users
Hello World!...
It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore (www.businessinsider.com)
Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.
r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

Why does every small appliance or useful home electronics item have the BRIGHTEST LEDs in them?...
12 years ago. Wonder what Lemmy will look like in 12 years? (lemmy.world)
Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:...
Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts (lemmy.world)
Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers....

Does anyone know how many people have left Reddit?

The official reddit app is not even supported on my device. (lemmy.world)
Well i am certainly not using reddit on my tablet anymore.

Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)…...
This app. (lemmy.world)
Finally tried the official Reddit app. It’s as bad as they say.
