AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Who the fuck gives a shit?

Not as much of a rebrand as a merger

Give it a home feed that isn’t solely algorithmically driven and it’ll be back.

I prefer the scientific label: Norman.

I’m just sharing my opinion as to why people may want the influx of people via Meta et al.

And it’s not like I haven’t ever participated - the very first “Live Thread” I’ve ever participated in sports-wise was the Nuggets’ clinching game to win the NBA championship. It was a ton of fun, and had me extremely hopeful. But it’s tough to keep that kind of personal momentum.

Although that was on my Lemmy account (I joined that first, but I’ve kinda fallen more in love with kbin).

I dunno, I don’t really have the energy or free-time to be a part of something like that from scratch - especially during the doldrums of the sports year (late-June through August). I’m almost 40 and just don’t have the ability or drive to contribute all that much. Whether here or on Mastodon.

At the moment, I’m trying to put my energy into starting up niche communities/magazines for my favorite content creators in The Majority Report and Behind the Bastards.

But you’re right, I should be the change I want to see. Hopefully come the NFL season, I’ll have found some sort of foothold for contributing to the various communities.

Completely agree, and I’m really appreciative of people that put in an extra effort to create that inertia

I just want more sports content and right now, the fediverse has absolute shit-quality sports content

I wonder if this is why there is no home feed yet. Just the stupid god damn firehose.

Nice, thanks!

Then stick to using FOSS.

Is this the duckduckgo browser?

Let people enjoy new things.

I don’t really get the complaint here. There is no perfect solution with regards to privacy.

Either you have some centralization to help facilitate its ease-of-use for customers, or it becomes more difficult to setup and use. Much like the rest of life, there are trade-offs.

I dunno, between elk.zone or trunks.social, I don’t find the interface all that bad.

Been using Mastodon since 2018 and it’s brutally frustrating waiting for people to move to it.

It’s a really stable platform, and the various instance communities are pretty great.

But I have no fuckin clue why it’s not growing in adoption by Internet Normans.

Although, after the rate limiting issue, a whole shitload of people have signed up, so it’s promising.

Wow that sucks

I think most everyone knows this would have to be in the USA.

Sorry OP, I really hope those greedy assholes just made some shitty mistake.

It’s basically how reddit got its start - as an aggregator of content that originated elsewhere.

All I’ve seen from you here is constantly struggling to start up right wing communities. Probably would be best if you didn’t help anyone else migrated here
