Just trying to take it easy for all those sinners.
Im just here for the memes
I know that you will
Well, that reminds me that Mastodon has huge, unresolved problems, such as tags being part of the post’s body like Twitter rather than being a separate field like Tumblr.
Reading tweets with a hundred hashtags at the bottom seem really thirsty for attention, which is bad because Mastodon wants to fundamentally work with these, yet doesn’t have good in-post integration for them. It makes interactions less genuine, more performative.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Mastodon won’t be good tomorrow either. In the meantime, you can vote to make it better on https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/10743.
Try Catodon instead. It’s a much better UI and federated.
Now my username is not completely meaningless.
I lurk!! But, thanks y’all.
Not anymore!
It’s true, we are za warudo.
Every minute you use lemmy, spez’s penis becomes 1 millimeter smaller
I’m doing my best to look at memes 💪
As would say this wise person (@peachymist@sakurajima.moe): you are not procrastinating, you are fighting for a free and open Internet

Teamwork makes the dream work.
Your presence and attention are the most precious thing on the internet.
Almost all of you hate me. I’m like second or third against the wall.
Admins. Thank you. Users. Thank you.
Mods?
Too busy abusing their mod powers to enforce their political views in most communities.
That sounds like me in World News exactly. Excellent assessment.
(I’m even more draconian in Lemmy Shitpost.)
And in 10Forward you’re absolutely brutal, keeping the comm in constant fear. You rule with an iron tentacle.
I’m going to go over there and ban you now for this.
Ban you FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!
Am I the only one who has Firefish crash for them?
The Firefish instance I was on moved to Sharkey instead. As far as I know Firefish is no longer being developed.
Firefish is gone, but Catodon has taken Its place.
Doin’ muh best to shitpost.
You’re all welcome, citizens!

Edit: Doesn’t exist. Someone needs to start this.
I have many, many sovereign citizens to keep us alive.
Okay, now I am imagining that you are imprisoning sovcits in your basement and farming them for insanepeoplewhatever content.
Bet those sovcits would be cits real quick in that situation ;)
Nah I’d post videos of them if that was the case.
That’s just what someone keeping sovcits in their basement would say.
And I’m doing my best to keep it spam-free and ad-free.
I still haven’t been able to give up reddit but I have always been a lurker there. Here I’m trying to make a conscious effort to participate in conversations. I’m trying to be positive, kind, and thoughtful because that’s what I want lemmy to be.
I started to think of Reddit as just an occasional Google search result necessary evil and have successfully ignored it ever since. Log off DKC, there’s a better world out there.
In all seriousness I think eventually conventional social media will start to feel very siloed like AOL did as more people join the fediverse. I can’t imagine using a site that I couldn’t look at everything from anymore, save for stupid ass Facebook which I do solely for sovcit material. Why would I want to look at crap ads and AI when I can be here?

This is my experience. I try to search elsewhere, but consistently still find good info there. Only when I exhaust other options I go crawling back.
Oh it’s no biggie if you use it to deshittify Google. It is there, after all. Just treat it like ghetto Wikipedia and don’t hang around. Haha.
Thank you!
Similar here. Reddit has become, for better or worse, just another Facebook. I include in my search queries when I need. I get in for specific communities and get out immediately afterwards.
Thank You, BotM! I migrated here from the corporate social medias as soon as I was aware. I’m still transferring my OC over from IG (not an easy task) to Pixelfed. And I use similar talking points to inform people, often about the very existence of a non-comercial social media. Very few people, maybe 2, since July '23 have even heard of the Fediverse. We shall persist!
I’m just learning about Pixelfed from your comment. Any suggestions on where to start or instances to subscribe to?
I signed on to https://social.photo/. And I’m sure I had darned good reasons for doing so at the time. LoL With federation, I’m not really sure it matters which instance one signs onto, as long as it’s not some tankie/nazi crap, of course. And of course one could self host one’s own instance.
It appears to me that, because of the absence of advertising, it is incumbent upon individuals to ‘evangelize’ and spread the fedi-gospel. :-D
I truly believe the fediverse is the future. People will tire of the AI and all that nonsense and fade away from all the big sites.
