For and fir for me as well… when does anyone need fir??

This is hilarious…

Great analogy

The twitter/musk posts are getting large amount of upvotes so just figured that’s why people keep posting.

If you want to cross post to different communities, then maybe, but cross posting to all the other technology communities seems awfully redundant and spammy. With how lemmy works, if someone is subscribed to one technology community, they’re likely subscribed to others.

What I’m finding and what’s really annoying, is that every streaming service out there has like 1 or 2 shows and a couple of movies I want to see. Someone will bring up a show, but oh sorry, it’s on Crave. Or nope, that one’s on Disney Plus. That other show? It’s on Prime.

I recently canceled Netflix and moved to Crave, and I am certainly no happier. Thank God I barely care to watch TV as it is.

The only alternatives I’m ever told about is Gimp (which sucks, I don’t care what anyone says) or Krita, which while a good program, is not the same. I also think you have to pay for Krita on Windows, but its free on Linux for some reason.

What else is out there?

The depressing part is watching people go from one jackass to another.

They removed the need for an account to view tweets not long after they implemented it.

As far as I know the rate limit is still in effect though.

Gyfycat has also been running for 8 years, Imgur for 14. I’m talking only about the longevity of a service running. I don’t think people are expecting any instance to run for that amount of time, though its obviously too early to tell.

Clearly these large centralized services eventually decay away due to power hungry individuals within, but it takes some time.

I’m not sure if people are going to read this as I’m pro-centralized services, because I’m not, I’m just making statements.

If lemmy.world dies, you’re account goes down along with it. You would then need to find a new instance and make a new account.

I understand what you’re saying, but I feel more concerned with the stability of instances due to the fact that they’re run by everyday people as something to do, they already have lives and jobs outside of this. Maybe it’s a passion project they pour a lot into, but the possibility of it crashing down for various reasons is a lot higher than a larger centralized service run by companies whose soul purpose is to run that service.

I don’t know if I’d feel like I’d be missing out on anything personally, I don’t have any interest in what people from Facebook or Instagram have to say as I feel like it’s going to be pretty watered down interactions with little thought behind it.

If they remove themselves from the fediverse equation after amassing a following, I would hope we would be left with what we just have here at the moment, which I’m quite happy with.

That’s why I hope most instances defederate at the get go and totally ignore Meta… A large corporation will bring nothing but destruction when it comes down to it.

Hmm I see what you mean, yeah the only use for that email would be to get a lost password associated with that username then, it wouldn’t actually get activated.

If you’re using those accounts to sign into things, that appears to be listed as activity.

This is what I did. Just use kbin and turned the webpage into an app.

My understanding is that only kbin can interact with both Lemmy and Mastodon while also showing its own threads/magazines/whatever. Lemmy can only see Lemmy and Mastadon can only see Mastodon.

I’m on kbin and also have access to read and comment on Lemmy posts, though I’m not sure how to access Mastadon as I don’t see them show up when I search for other communities…

Edit: looks like I have to search Microblogs when I want to see Mastadon. Seems kind of confusing though, I don’t think I understand how Mastodon works.
