  • I joined lemmy.one when people started moving from reddit to lemmy. In the early days there was not much choice, either this one or the woke beehaw and some other “just started” instances with one or two people. (and lemmingrad ofc) I have recently switched to another one.














  • True. And there seems to be nothing in between big corporations that want to squeeze out every last cent profit and un-/underpaid open source developers trying to figure out how to maintain something requiring more and more resources over time as the user base gets bigger. I am fortunate to have a Samsung S9 passed down to me, on which I can run e/ os, but comes with compromises (e.g. can’t rent e-scooters from a company), plus they did something with the last update that messed up the colours of the screen. When it’s time to replace it, I am seriously considering a used iPhone.


  • Facebook is nowhere dead. Everyone I meet wants to chat via Messenger, small firms here don’t bother creating a website anymore, they create a facebook page (’ cause everyone’s there) and local/company communities use facebook groups to talk. Not to mention event hosts, they create fb events. If you are interested in topics that are liked globally, the fediverse is getting better. But if you are looking for a local community, you’ll rarely find any. The lemmy page of my country is basically dead, the sub however is thriving.



  • They don’t have an adsense banner on almost every single website or mobile app that tries to sell me something based on the data they have collected from me. This is already an indicator. They even made zuckerberg mad by making it possible to opt out of sharing certain data with them. I am not saying apple is privacy example, but I would definitely put them higher on a list compared to google.
