Sorry to ruin the fun but it stands for “Personal Computer Memory Card International Association”

There is a joke around the name, as you said, though :)

Not sure if this is the right place but I need to get off Twitter/X, I would love to use Mastodon but the hurdle feels bigger than Reddit to Lemmy. The Mastodon client feels uncomfortable to me for some reason, and I guess unlike reddit/lemmy where you have a group of people talking about specific topics, I am interested in following specific people on Twitter - a fraction of whom are on Mastodon. I don’t want to support Musk or his platform but I’m struggling to find a replacement.

I guess if he starts charging for it the decision will be made for me 😅

That’s what I thought, but not keen on it having ads/subscription model. I’d be happy to pay one off but that isn’t available (at least yet). I understand the guy needs to eat, but right now I for me personally there isn’t a value add vs. the FOSS clients.

I kind of get what you’re saying, but I also think it’s a bit naive, presuming you’re also only here (as am I) because it all went so wrong with reddit. Do you want to support a platform where there’s a corporate running it rather than the community? I think that’s why a lot of people are freaking out about Threads, because the wounds are still very fresh/people have seen this play before.

If you like Threads then great, go for it, but if you are gonna hang out on lemmy where there is a culture strongly against centralisation, you’re gonna find people talking smack about the thing you happen to like.

Ich hoffe, dass sie ihm neue EU-Beitrittsgespräche nicht zugesagt haben 😬

Ik denk ik heb geen taal ingesteld, het staat op Undetermined - doe ik iets mis?

He’ll have a long wait

This shouldn’t be something you need to do with super high frequency. Do you know what is causing the blockage?
