The great thing about using free open-source software is the immunity from corporate shenanigans.

You can vote and make personal lifestyle/dietary sacrifices. It’s not mutually exclusive

Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck

They could be legit users, FWIW, and just not understanding Lemmy enough to know what an “instance” is. Nowhere else on the internet (except Mastodon) is it a “thing” to have different instances of the same site iteracting.

Half of my comments are about Lemmy not being ready yet, or a viable alternative to Reddit. It’s not a “big lie”. I’m currently relying on the hover-over text to know where the icons are, brcause they’re not loading for some reason. I’m confident that decentralised social media will never take off, brcause the point of social media is to bring people together rather than stick them on different servers.

I understand that that’s the point of it, but it runs contrary the network effect that makes social media valuable, and creates too much of a barrier of entry to new users.

When Twitter became woefully unpopular, I heard several different podcasters say something along the lines of “For now we’re still on Twitter. We’ll move onto Mastodon once I work out how to use it”, and none of them ever joined. If content creators don’t join a network because it’s too difficult to join compared to other networks, then content consumers will have no reason to join either.

It’s no coincidence that the biggest community on lemmy.ml is Linux.

The algorithm sucks too. When I sort by “hot” I get days old threads. “Ht” needs to prioritise both popularity and recency

Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I’m not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state
