  1. 23, so no.
  2. Enthusiast, yeah, trying to get into tech for a job, but don’t have the CS degree they all want.
  3. No, but not by choice. Not running Linux because I buggered my UEFI somehow, and so it won’t allow me to boot from USB or switch to my Linux partition.

I think it’s because early Millennials are near the peak of techiness, and the sort of person to switch to an open-source, decentralised, somewhat anti-commercial website is also the sort of person to use Linux. I’m early Gen Z, but fit the other two categories.

It’s because they grew up with it rather than actively learning it. UIs have started to hide the actual details, so the users don’t pick them up.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Let’s just hope the Fediverse doesn’t fuck around.

jerdle_lemmy ,

This sounds like a xkcd.com/2501/ moment. Your average internet user probably doesn’t know there even is a Linux, and might be able to install mods at a push but not troubleshoot them.

How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?

She’s almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she’s anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the...

I mean, you probably are, especially if it’s explicitly political. All I can recommend is CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

lemmy.world has bent the knee to corporations. Consolidated comments into body.

I don’t think this is EEE, I think this is a chance for meta to dominate the narrative by drowning us out with algorithmically curated censorship, distractions, hatred, outrage etc. I would join threads if I want threads, I would be on Reddit if I want corporate influence....

jerdle_lemmy ,

So the argument for them bending the knee is that someone on a different instance disagrees with you?

jerdle_lemmy ,

mastodon.world, owned by the same people as lemmy.world, is not immediately defederating with threads.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Ok, imagine if Reddit had been part of the fediverse in the way Threads is planning to be. Then, when spez needed to fuck himself, we could have migrated more easily to another instance, without losing access to Reddit.

I’m not sure about you, but that sounds like an upside to me.

jerdle_lemmy ,

I’d like to disagree with OP, but a lot of us did join after Reddit fucked up.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Mate, if the word “histrionics” is abusive, wait till you see the rest of the internet.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Lemmy.world isn’t preemptively defederating with Threads.

jerdle_lemmy ,

It’s all getting a bit Judean People’s Front around here. I know there’s a generally leftist userbase, but do we have to do this?

That’s less about defederating with Meta. Meta are the Romans. It’s about people defederating with anyone who federates with Meta.

jerdle_lemmy ,

People are worried that they’ll embrace, extend and extinguish it. That is, join the fediverse, make Threads a better client than any of the existing ones until everyone uses their client, then use that extra reach to harm the fediverse.

I’m personally not that worried, because of who we are. We’re a bunch of geeks with anarchist leanings, and so probably wouldn’t switch to Threads anyway.

jerdle_lemmy ,

mastodon.world has decided not to, so I don’t think we will.

jerdle_lemmy ,

The word “Nazi” and especially “fascist” have been diluted into “bigot” at best and “person I disagree with” at worst. The right are just as bad with “communist” and “socialist”, although with the difference that socialism is a perfectly decent ideology, and even communism isn’t as bad as fascism.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Comparing mere assholes to Nazis is antisemitic, much less comparing anyone who disagrees with you to Nazis.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Mate, I am on the UK left. There’s ridiculous factionalism.

jerdle_lemmy ,

This is the classic size vs purity argument. Would it be better to have a large fediverse with corporate input or a small one without?

jerdle_lemmy ,

I’ve seen a rationale that makes sense for why they’re making Threads implement ActivityPub. lemmy.world/post/1105955

jerdle_lemmy ,

I’m not neoliberal.

jerdle_lemmy ,

I’m not a communist either, schmuck.

jerdle_lemmy ,

How does “left wing, but not communist” mean Tory to you? I’ve been demonstrating for socialism probably before you were born.

jerdle_lemmy ,

There’s a lot of room on the left between communism and neoliberalism. Have you heard of non-communist socialism (e.g. Titoist market socialism)?

jerdle_lemmy ,

I’m personally closer to social democracy, but relatively on the left of that area, towards market socialism.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Someone swiped my username here.

I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.

jerdle_lemmy ,

I mean, ActivityPub as a whole sucks at privacy.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Nah, many of us non-vegans don’t see animals as having a right to life. I know I don’t.

jerdle_lemmy ,

I don’t trust them one bit, but this makes more sense than EEE. The fediverse just isn’t that big. We don’t have anything they want. But what they do want is to be allowed to launch Threads in the EU without DMA issues.

jerdle_lemmy OP , (edited )

Yeah, that’s a problem. It does what I want (especially with Rebased) and many others don’t, but it’s making a big deal out of being used by arseholes.

jerdle_lemmy OP ,

Truth Social has enough screenshots going round that anything I made using the same frontend would look like it was Truth Social, and I don’t want to do that.

jerdle_lemmy OP ,

If Soapbox sucks, any recommendations between Akkoma and Calckey? Basically want quoting features.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Yeah, you think they give a shit about the fediverse? They’re using ActivityPub because it’s easier for them. They’re not going to want to EEE us, because there’s not enough of us to matter to them.

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.

jerdle_lemmy ,

Might be true on sdf, but on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, there are captchas and email addresses.

jerdle_lemmy ,

It’s called beehaw, pretty much.
