Small communities are the best communities

In 10 years we went through a huge jump. Mass use of smart phones, new PoS systems, the internet has become overly censored, forest fires like we have never seen before, covid, powerful handhelds, AI… Things are exponential right now

I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn’t really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking “this has so much potential!” The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it’s exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there’s still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.

I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.

The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.

I just take mushrooms

I refuse to go on Reddit, it sucks because it takes way longer to find the answers I search for.

I’m there there are greedy mo-fo’s watching. All it takes is someone with a nice big lump sum offer to the people that run the servers and that someone with revenue in their minds will sprinkle ads and premium features all throughout the instances.

It’s comfortable to hold, I have the kill switch on mine with the kickstand, I usually use a pillow or a table as a support with the kickstand up. It’s still not as heavy as it looks, very comfortable in the hands.

As for heat, it gets pretty hot, but not scolding hot. It’s designed to last years

It’s fucking annoying. The amount of times I turned off autoplay and sound in my settings only to have it blasted in my face. It just makes me not want to use Facebook, it’s become like a whiney annoying baby whenever I go on it.

We need a new MySpace/Facebook esque platform that isn’t corporate, I highly doubt we will get that, and even if their was an option, most people wouldn’t even migrate.

I was using Facebook as a means to see whats up in my area, everytime I go on now I scroll till I see something interesting, I get a few mins in and decide it’s dead and close out of it.

Facebook once was a great tool for local postings, it’s now gone to shit. I am really hoping to see another platform, preferably in the fediverse take it’s place.

dot com is coming to an end, and people are seeking alternatives, I just hope it isn’t a total fragmentation of the masses.

The originals you can play on any old computer, can either get it free off the browser, you just need dosbox, or off the steamstore(installs dosbox for you), and then away you go. May want to use a controller.

The games are extremely glitchy, often at times unbearable to look at. The ambiance is where the beauty is at, as well as the clever puzzles and platforming. The level design is incredible.

Tomb Raider 1 - 3 and unfinished business are true videogame relics.

I was hoping it was going to be a remaster of the originals.

Now we need a new video platform.

Very grounded in reality and well written thank you. It’ll be a small community for some time, eventually after a year or two I think it will become the new front page for the majority of the current Reddit users.

I feel like most of the general public has no clue what the fediverse is, it truly does take time to grasp.
