A lot of these people are boomers. Rushkoff is much younger and I think Gen X. Where are the Gen Y/Z versions? Are there more Gen Xers to check out?...
I’ve been on Beehaw and Lemmy.world for the past two weeks now and while people seem to be posting content that isn’t about Reddit or Twitter or how great federated platforms are, such content does not receive as many comments/discussion as topics about the Reddit API controversy, or the current Twitter controversy, etc....
In our backyard, we don’t have to worry about it because our backyard is fenced, and the dogs keep a tight perimeter. However, out front I’ve recently been spooking cats hiding in the bushes beneath our bird feeders....
I’ve seen the app Apollo as the center of the reddit protest (it was mentioned and cited more than any other app in relevant posts). I’ve also seen many Lemmy clients in development taking inspiration from it....

Is there drama or a story I’m missing? As I understand it, from lemmy.world I can see their posts but they cannot see mine. Why did beehaw block lemmy.world?
I’ve been listening to this NPR (public radio) show, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, for probably 20 years. It’s a comedy news quiz, and they have listeners call in to participate. I’ve wanted to call in since I was a kid (I’m 31 yo now), but I’ve got some fun anxiety around talking to people if I don’t know what to...
I’m with lemmy.world and I can still see beehaw recent posts and I can interact with them despite us being mutually defederated. How does this actually work?
I can unsubscribe to many communities, but one: FOSS for [email protected] it tells me I’m not subcribed, but it’s in my list of communities. So I have subscribed. Reloaded the page. Unscribed. Reloaded and it’s still there? It’s only this particular community…
