You know, we've already got an app to go to deal with Zucks' social media hole. It would be nice to have a space that wasn't connected to it. Then we all get the best of both worlds.

Obviously awesome! Do you not see the hearts?!

'Frade not. They are currently executing union busting measures against their workers.

IT lead here; this is exactly how to get servers to work.

If you were on the Internet before emojis took off, the single letter "k" had the same energy.

Fear not friend, you are not alone. I too am slowly switching over, and these things take time. We are truly victims of a great bait and switch, with our digital lives held hostage. We never asked for this.

At this point it's not so much a question as it is a statement

Well, it seems there is a bit of a learning curve. I, and most likely you, still haven't figured out the mechanics of Lemmy and the federverse. Give it time,

Just like Digg before Reddit, we will soon adept. The apps will get better and things will make more sense.

It may look and work slightly different, but with a little work, maybe this will be the communities that thrives the longest..

Pinterest. Hands down the best quality of life site block.

Before I found an extension to silence them, that putrid site would infest all of my image searches with its gatekeeping bullshit.

Plus, there is the added philosophical discussion about what it means to allow a centralized corporate media conglomerate to curate your music for you. I'd imagine that their insentivisation structure over what should be heard is different than yours.

For serious though, I hypothesize that your library/playlist data (xml, maybe? somewhere? I'm just starting the journey of offloading.) is more valuable to users than the music itself. Next step is figuring out how to export Spotify's data.

Sadly should no longer be recommended. It's Mountain Equipment company now, and the enshittification is well underway.

Maybe Toyota will start electrifying old classics like the Printer Trueno or the (dot)Matrix.

Untrue, we also have a functioning Gibson screensaver.
