Try living in a small country, there’s tons of stuff like that.

Yet you already have direct neighbors of Russia like Hungary and Slovakia simping for Putin, so proximity to the threat doesn’t seem to overcome the tendency towards misinformation and manipulation against your own best interests.

It’s true, that’s the advantage of a larger user base. But when I compare my homepage of Reddit after 15 years of refinement to that of my lemmy homepage after 1 year, my lemmy one is way better. Most of those niche communities devolve into memes and nonsense like the same questions being asked over and over and over again after a while. Great for searching, but for actually getting content on a regular basis from, mostly a waste of time.

They don’t have to have everyone on them to be good. In some ways it’s preferable not to. Reddit was far better before the Digg migration, and we might already be living in the golden years of Lemmy and not even realize it.

I think the smartest ones will. Really I don’t mind a smart intelligent community like this one.

Here’s the prompt for anyone who’s too lazy to scroll through the whole thing:

Nearly 10 million children in the United States live in a grandparent headed household, and of these children , around 20% are being raised without their parents in the household.

It’s hard when there’s easy points to be scored by saying “why should we spend our hard earned money on far away wars when we can spend it at home on hookers and blow!”

It has improved here though, thank Jeebus.

I fully agree. When I feel like using a Twitter like platform (which is exceedingly rare), I use Mastodon

I never liked Twitter to begin with so I’m not one to defend him. My preferred one is Mastodon, but generally I don’t like the format to begin with. At any rate, I’ll still take pre-musk Twitter over Xitter any day.

It will almost certainly become Twitter as it was created by the Twitter founder. The only difference being that it will become the Twitter from before Musk took over. Which is a massive difference.

Seedbox VM running on my Synology permanently routed through VPN running radarr, sonarr, jackett, plex. I find stuff either by searching what’s new for the month or by occasional subscriptions of the streaming services.

Oh well, I guess send them some bombs and ammo then.

Yeah another clickbait headline. It’s getting recharged all the time, it’s just very lucky to be in a use case where it goes down hills with large loads all the time

Thanks for letting me know about this. Just installed it. Now if they supported multiple mastodon accounts, I’d really be cooking.

Funny they killed the free tier almost the same day as Microsoft made the outlook announcement. I dumped both of them for Thunderbird. Not as pretty but does the job for the limited use case I have:

Me too.

This is a key part of fascism, government and industry being one and the same entity.

Next pump and dump: the American economy.

Inferior range, potential for interference, power consumption, meshing, and security. Name one area where it’s better.

And I still expect one or more of these companies to break the standard to create their own walled garden.
