Man, they’re really trying their hardest to get rid of me.

I’ve been quite happy with Linux Mint on all my devices, but since I’ve started using i3 and apt purgeing cinnamon, I’ll probably switch to Debian the next time I set up a PC of mine.

I’m pretty sure most redditors won’t care enough to leave. I predict the only people actually leaving will be old guard (like 35+) and FOSS nerds who pine for the good old days of the internet and/or otherwise have ideological qualms with the changes. Everyone else will just grumble and get the ad infested, inferior official app.

What does “feeling unsafe” even mean in the context of a website. How are words on a screen which I read through my completely pseudonymous account supposed to make me feel “unsafe”? I can always close the browser lol

I just truly don’t give a shit about Twitter and Twitter-like sites.

Ps, people make sure you are registered to vote.

I keep reading that. Does one need to get actively registered to be allowed to vote in the US? That completely contradicts that people say you can even vote without any personal ID card (both sound ridiculous to me)

I gotta say, the tankie infestation of the fediverse is giving me serious second thoughts about this place. I get that it will get better over time as more people join and dilute the crazies, but I currently have a very hard time suggesting lemmy to people because of this.

So what, am I going to defederate from lemmy.world which is like the most generic possible instance but posts there still attract these loonies? At that point I can just ditch the fediverse because it’s useless as a reddit replacement.

No, that doesn’t “say a lot about me” at all. I keep having to block tankies and similar shit bubbling up from lemmygrad. I’ve not seen an open nazi post here yet but if I see one be assured it gets the banhammer as well and “nazis” gets added to my growing list of “insane fringe groups prominent on lemmy which I never had to interact with on reddit”.
