Lemmy is great but the majority of you guys have a, r/notlikeothergirls vibe.
Like you know something about the world and by saying, “I am not mainstream I am alternative,” you are making yourselves inclusive in some way. You don’t know anything the rest of the world doesn’t already have some idea about. Some sort of secret knowledge. I think my favorite thing I have seen on here is people thinking they are private and secure on the Fediverse. Despite the fact you are on a self hosted instance of someone’s hardware and handing your privacy and security to someone random or an entity at random.
Being inclusive is not how you educate people. It’s how you isolate your knowledge and make people think you are a jerk.
Lemmy attracts this FOSS/linux/firefox/self-hosted or die mentality because the biggest jump in Lemmy users came from a corporation messing with a product they liked
Without “die hard” FOSS people we wouldn’t have Lemmy, Linux, Apache, Firefox etc etc etc. I mean, dont shit where you eat I guess I what I want to say.
People like me are the black sheep among thousands of white sheeps, between lefties and boomers. I could only be in an eco chamber if I was literally schizophrenic. Right-wing people have to deal with woke every day it’s just impossible to ignore it.
Speak for yourself, I wanna know the dog’s name, their breed, how old they are, and their favourite treats, and the owner has to talk for me to learn that info. Also, you know, asking permission to pet first is important.
I hate Ggle as a corporation, but LOVE YouTube. With that being said, FreeTube, NewPipe, and InnerTunes will be used by me until YouTube/Ggle goes bankrupt. After they replaced G**gle Play Music with YouTube music I want them to burn a fiery death.
That the entire ecosystem is dependent on donations. If this new social media thing is going to work out, we need to divide our donations to all actors involved: developers, instance admins, and thirdparty app developers. It’s easy to forget the people behind it
That’s my thought at least. Donating to all actors involved would be best, but it’s easy to give the frontend developer all the love, because the work that’s being done behind is less tangible and harder to really see.
They don’t even know what they are down voting. They do it just because it is against sync. You are just stating we should support foss devs. They literally are just bunch of fucking idiots that probably came here just by following others. It would be awesome if they could just fuck off from fediverse and go lurk in reddit.
