Totally.

There was a former reddit mod on here a few days ago talking about how a small percentage of users make most of the posts/comments there. Personally, I'm glad to get away from that.

There may not be much content here, but at least the average person can be heard.

I'm perfectly fine with blocking Meta, any megacorp really, but Meta especially. I have relatives who are still unvaccinated and afraid of 5G radio towers because of some nonsense they read on Facebook.

You federated wrong. You're actually on Legume-ey.world

I'll see myself out.

There's no hate like Linux on Linux hate.

I'm new here just like most other folks, but from what I've seen so far is: Lemmy is a place to post links to your content, Peertube is the place to post your videos, Pixelfed is the place to post GIFs and short videos. Lemmy can handle picture uploads, but not much more than that right now.

But none of these instances is going to survive if users don't donate. All those corporate social media sites were free because you weren't the customer, you were the product.

I think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.

Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe "news" that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won't get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.

So education funding rarely gets increased.

It's been going for 4 years now. I think the worst case scenario is it falls back to the numbers it had before this reddit incident.

I've always heard puns were. I don't believe it though. I mean a good pun is its own reword.

I'll see myself out.

Linux has 2 clipboards. You're mixing the two. https://askubuntu.com/...

We've a got higher share than Win 7 & 8, closing in on OSX. One step at a time.

Looks like it is supposed to be a Lemming, as they refer to it on their github page (4^th^ bullet comment). But I don't think they actually give it a name.

Also, fun fact, (and trigger warning) the Lemmy logo isn't symmetrical.

I guess I'm just a cynic, but I assumed this was in reference to a politician who recently received a golf simulator from a campaign donor. He didn't disclose it in accordance with state law concerning gifts over $100, but I'm sure he meant to but forgot.

Or it would just be a random post.

You can try these https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities

At this point I expect Reddit to go full Wells Fargo and start creating multiple accounts for users, just to impress investors with growth numbers.

For big videos I use Peertube and smaller ones I use Mastodon. Pixelfed works also for small vids, but not all instances support mp4.

I'm going to get one at the ~$300 level. Their discord channel is pretty active. David and some of the collaborators show up there pretty often. https://discord.gg/nS2PqEC

Well, if you're on desktop and you don't mind installing scripts on your browser, there's a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704

Edit: wrong link

If you use Ublock Origin, here's a filter that will hide lemmynsfw posts on your main page. Filters should work the same on all major ad blockers, but I can't vouch for that.

! 2023-06-21 https://lemmy.world
lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@lemmynsfw.com)

ELI5 explaination:

the first line is just so Ublock can keep different filters and domains organized

lemmy.world## - only use this filter on this site

.post-listing - evaluate everything on the page with the class name post-listing

has-text(lemmynsfw.com) - the text we want to filter

Of course if the site gets updated and the layout changes, this filter won't work anymore. I'm on VLemmy, so I can't really test it on lemmyworld. Let me know if it doesn't work. Cheers.

OMG, same here. I got tired of buying a new inkjet every 2 years or so. I bought a Brother laser all-in-one 4 yrs ago and haven't looked back. My only regret was not spending the extra bucks to get a color model.

Well the cat probably noticed you hadn't killed any birds yet, so it was trying to help you learn how. It brought home the dumbest, easiest to catch bird it could find.
