I havnt worked retail in years, but I have a recurring fantasy of printing off memes like this one and planting them around the local Walmart, Kroger, Home Depot etc… It wouldn’t amount to much, which is partly why I haven’t, but I’d like to think it might open the eyes of one or two people.
Open and unmolested by big corporations
Wikipedia is funded via donations, de-centralized social media could be too
The ideals that led to the Fediverse are antithetical to companies like Meta
It’s had a noticeable drop in quality since the protests. Still has loads more content than Lemmy, but Quantity ≠ Quality. I still check it for news/worldsnews/politics, but there’s really nothing important even there that isn’t on Lemmy as well.
Yeah I didn’t really think it through, you’re right.
So does not having port forwarding mean it’s not safe to use it for torrenting? As long as my ISP doesn’t know I’m illegally torrenting stuff, I’m not really concerned personally
Would I be worth it/possible to basically copy all of Reddit’s content into Lemmy? Most of Reddit’s usefulness to me is that practically any problem I encounter, I google google the question + Reddit and find a post with the answers I need. I’m sure I’ll be able to do that with Lemmy in a few years but for now 🤷♂️
Even in third places like public parks or libraries, in America it’s mostly taboo to talk to strangers so it makes meeting people really difficult. Behind the Bastards is fantastic
Hopefully this means I can fix my elite controller’s fucky LB button. Have to press it ridiculously hard for it to register
