I thought you were talking about the users. But basically because there is so many users and the expectation in post effort is much higher than other platforms they need to do a bunch of things to filter people. Its really not hard once you know but it feels impossible when you’re new.

What you are referring to as “office” is actually copilot/Microsoft365 and i forgot the rest of the copypasta

You could try but I feel its needlessly complex and antagonistic. Like get the politics are horrible but we dont actually hate american people right? IMO you can get close enough to your goal by filtering American politics out, blocking news/politics communities and then setting up a non america news and non american politics community and boom you’ve pretty much got an “america free instance”

Once shared blocklists get added I feel this will be easier to setup and distribute.

Are the Lemmy and piefed devs going to be a part of this? We need some representation so its not all addressing micro blogging things

Wow I had no idea how many services they provide and they do some serious numbers.

It adds a lot of extra risk since each node is a constant radio beacon that is easily trackable.

Compared with handheld radio that broadcast and disappear.

If they shut the Internet and there is a decent meshtastic network they will jam that as well.

The Korean ramen spice is so weird its so chemically and gross. Its very hot the first few times but the heat dies off if you eat it regularly.

Talking about the one with the chicken breathing fire.

I havent found an English misskey instance so I havent been able to really try it out. At a glance it seems similar to mastodon

Ive got ideas in my mind but its hard to put them into realistic ideas of a site.

Awful, one of the first things I disable along side 1 click folder opening.

Fun and weird ways of using the internet socially. Fediverse has the unique opportunity that you can build anything and automatically reach people. I’d like to see people really push the idea of what a social platform looks and acts like.

No

Effectively no. China could stop selling to the US but it really needs the demand to fuel its growth and they dont really care about US actions around the world since they directly benefit from people souring on the US.

Countries dont so things for moral reasons and its in no countries interest to sanction the US over fucking maduro.

Microsoft executives have never used a copilot or any 365 tools and it shows.

I’m feel comfortable expressing myself or being vulnerable around people close to me but i really dont enjoy it. It causes people around me so much extra stress and worry that I’d feel its better for myself to deal with it.

Most of the time i am happy or at least content so when im sad I dont feel the need to mention it or talk about it, its just a feeling to me. If I tell people I’m sad that day they will mine for more information and its just annoying.

Blocked nsfw instance. Blocked Nintendo, apple, genshin impact and the ml news and politics communities.

That preserves most of my sanity. I dont actually find Lemmy interactions to be bad. Even the worst Lemmy interactions feel like there is an actual complex being on the other end of the keyboard.

When read a reddit threads it doesnt feel like real sentient beings. Shoutout to the beyond all reason subreddit for inflicting psychic damage on me every time i read a thread. Its been over 6 months and I’m still triggered over the guy who played for two hours and decided the game has to many units.

Its hard to break into peoples minds with no advertising budget.We can’t tell people on reddit about Lemmy because reddit bans your account.

Lemmy got a ton of traffic after the api black out and it did an incredible Job at retaining a lot of those users. There were 200k active users and Lemmy was much more unstable at the time. Active users did fall off as expected but 50k stayed for 2 years. Thats great in my opinion. If we had another migration wave I reckon the retention would be even higher.

For someone to switch from reddit to Lemmy three things need to happen

1. They need to know it exists

2. They need to dislike reddit or centralised corporate controlled social media on an ideological level.

3. They need something disruptive to happen. Either a ban or a change they dont like.
