I’m not looking to self-host any time soon (costs and downtime preventing me from such) but what fedi software would be good? Seems like every fedi software kinda sucks in its own way.

How would you go about it for people who are burnt out from having to hop to different places? I know people make that excuse for not even going for Bluesky.

I think fedi might have the same issue as forums where people trust corporations to deal with their data than people on the internet. Some people might not like being able to talk personally with the admin and would rather trust an organisation over an individual admin.

yes! :ablobfoxbongo:

i just want a car that’s cute tbh :blobfoxmlem:

is it just me or is YouTube’s recommendation algorithm just absolute hot garbage after the history update?

I’ve got no nostalgia but man I wanna fuck about with a classic Mac. I’ve used Sheepshaver but I feel it’s not as good as the real deal.

Why did Dorian Electra call deadmau5 a gay twink femboy on their new album?

5G really is a meme.

Man am I so glad I don’t build computers anymore. Cannot deal with the anxiety over potentially wrecking expensive components.

Looking at making an alternative account on a Firefish instance. I’ll still use Awoo as my main tho.

iirc the BBC used to use MusicBrainz for certain parts of the site like radio and whatnot, not sure if they do it now.

I swear, phone cases don’t really do much to protect the phone even if they claim to have military-grade protection.

The back of my phone was smashed even WITH a case. My friend had a case and his phone was also smashed.

I can see it being a thing. The link aggregators/Reddit alternatives are probably the closest we’ve got right now.

meanwhile I’m here getting flooded (two weeks late) with Linux-compatible laptop suggestions for my friend.

That happens sometimes! Federation isn’t perfect :p

But rather someone who recently followed me boosted two posts of mine: one about my interests (with the intention of networking with others) and one asking for Linux laptop suggestions for my friend. I kinda feel bad since my friend has since already picked but I’m getting a lot of good suggestions nonetheless.

Yeah exactly. If only fediverse was as easily indexed as Reddit was, it’d be of more help than 99% of Reddit nowadays.
