So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.
I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.
Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.
Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.
I may sound old but I don't get what's peculiar about discord. From the little I know is like a forum? with calls&messaging functionality.
Well... they went the enshittification route and they keep on censoring more and more. One of their latest stunts is that they're going to implent an age check by making a video of you.
Yeah sorry but that is very privacy invasive. I'm all for trying to catch predators and shit but I'm not giving away my privacy for it.
As an added bonus they're more and more ads so they can link all that juicy data you send them to a profile.
