Maybe. Federated sure seems to be what I’m going to stick with for now. Hopefully more seemless interaction will happen (in time) between platforms… but I’m already fully converted
I put on my robe and wizard pirate hat
Well… damn. I’m mid-30’s; Tech is (definitely) kind of a hobby of mine; and I use Linux for learning, experimenting, and… uhh, tech hobby stuff lol. I can solder a little, and sometimes it actually works!
Maybe it’s because that cohort is the fastest to adopt. We grew up with a rapidly changing internet, we’re kinda used to navigating the glitches/unfamiliarity, and it’s just more familiar (to us) in a “back-to-basics” way. I feel like I’ve entered a nostalgic “place” that has become better since I last visited.
With Memmy for ios going full-live, the multitude of 3rd party apps at full throttle, and Facebook ready with “Threads” - this just seems like the first wave of what could be a hell of a storm. The content will increase and diversify, that’s inevitable now.
The question is: do people want to be responsible for maintaining a user-controlled platform? Or would they prefer an operator help to connect us? We’ll see, but I guarantee there will be some fresh af memes coming through here in the mean time, so no worries
Hell, while you’re here… throw some of those old ass memes (or almost any pic you’ve got saved on your phone) onto !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Be the change you want to see and shit
Or don’t, it’s not like anyone can really judge you when you’re anonymous… but you’ll know. Months from now, when you’re lying in bed, unable to sleep because you were complicit in the apathy; you’ll wonder if it could have been different. You’ll try to bury the intrusive thoughts and “what ifs”, but you’ll always wonder…
“Could it have actually worked? Might we have taken claim to a piece of independence in the future of world communications?!”
… and the thought slips away, as you mainline another 40 min of memes directly into you’re neurotransmitter reservoir, for sustenance and maintenence
I wonder how many shill accounts are actively trying to sway the tide of opinion around here, especially during all of this uncertainty, excitement, and vulnerability.
Honestly curious, like if we could see a number for, “traffic increase in troll farm activity” or some shit.
The urge to fact-check this is so strong, even though I know it to be inherently false. I want to believe
Holy. Shit… this is going to take a sec to sink in. I’m in awe of what I have learned here today. Thank you
Thank you! Placed my order and it was surprisingly really simple. I like to keep tests around and they can be expensive, so this was awesome! Much appreciated for the info
I don’t trust anyone named Lenny. Lemmy is cool though
My dad did that one year lol. Refused to change his clocks or personal routine. Dunno if he was able to stick with it or not — but it was funny to hear him talk so seriously about why he “refuses to abide by such an arbitrary concept that makes his life harder, by having to adjust his body’s schedule”
His face had such a straight up “nope, fuck all that” look about it, it cracked me up lmao
