Less text, my dude

Wait, this was supposed to be written from the wife’s perspective

Protein is protein

Seriously, hate that now people call everything a meme, they don’t even try to make it at least funny.

Well shit… guess it’s been abandoned.

There’s also booty.world but it’s not very active yet

Why would we complain if the zucc decides to not federate at all?

Also the ones who post 10 or more things at the same time in their community every half a day or something and fill the fucking local feed all the day

I miss r/doguelore and r/quiereslore

Needs more jpeg

It’s not that the current administration “can’t” (altough they have proven time and again that they seem to can’t), it’s they don’t want nor care about it, it’s the final year before elections, it’s the time to steal as much as possible and the president only cares about that and talking shit about his opponents… think something like Trump.

I’m not missing anything, OP complained about people not easily ditching closed/centralized software and I gave an answer.
I know devs are doing it as a hobby or with donations, that’s on them and they know who their target will be and how much effort is it worth to do it user-friendly or not or how big of a scope they aim for.

We’re talking about the normal user and why they decide to stick to centralized or move to FOSS and why it’s so hard for them to do it.

Yes and no, most of the free/open software has the problem of being very not-user-friendly (even if it’s only for the first time set-up) and the documentation (even the youtube tutorials) are written in a “you should know all this already” way, which is cool if you do, but if this is the first time you are doing this or if it’s the only time you are gonna use that knowledge then it’s absurd to expected someone to learn it only for one time.

It is normal for someone to complain that the thing that steals all their data or needs a subscription is better because it’s easier to use (install, pay/register and use, done), compared with how different and difficult usually it’s to install and get to work a FOSS option (download this, install these, run command lines, configure all these, now get all these plugins, etc).

If we want bigger numbers, then it should be at least as easy as the thing we want them to stop using, otherwise we are barking at the wrong tree.

Nah, the iphone is also overhypped and overpriced

Honestly I don’t care about stories, but I hope that encourages my friends to pay attention to it.

Hard disagree, I keep seeing the same news/posts inside and outside Beehaw in other instances that have their own community, sometimes they even have the same name.

Or am I looking at this backwards, and they want their gated garden, absent of slugs?

You could say that, they have said more than once that they want their instance to be their safe-space, which is cool and all, if their users are all up on defederating at the fall of a leaf along with the mods that’s cool, the “problematic” part are the users that join that instance because it’s big but don’t expect them to be like that, because then they have to drop that account and create another in a different instance.
But I’ve said it more than once, until we get migration tools think of your account as disposable or prepare to keep multiple accounts to juggle servers.

That said, I think they would be happier using a forum-like server instead of the fediverse because they seem like the kind of instance to end up isolating themselves.

I still hate websites watermarks, creators watermarks are ok (like comics or art)

I’ve noticed they post a lot of asians and slim/flat women, then the other extreme of posting fat ones. I like thicc and curvy, but I don’t mean fat so I haven’t found a community for me.
Hopefully some time in the future.
