yeah social media should be more functional and easily put away when not needed. I love the fact that I just don't get attention consuming notifications. I love the fact that there isn't an algorithm that promotes the most inflammatory point of view for "eNgAgEmEnT".

I just don't feel like a product here, it feels real compared to any platform.

Yeah I am currently using my steam deck as a main desktop drive, I was blown away at how good this operating system is. I can't go back. I just can't. The only thing that pisses me off is that I can't use adobe software, but hey my wallet is thanking me.

What really makes me happy, is no ads. No store, no xbox icon, no bloatware, no , no edge being like a jealous gf, no programs to install programs, no windows defender making me paranoid, no firewall, no forced graphics chosen for me by microsoft, no ten ways to do the same action...

Honestly I don't know why I didn't switch. I remember trying to get a computer without windows and my brother advising against it, I want to go back in time and slap him from depriving me from such a well conceived experience.

Honestly moderated self hosted servers always seemed like an obvious solution, but no game company would do this since they can't monetize their products to the degree that a live service can.

With the api changes it has exploded with posts misleading everyone with gifs that happened years ago with inflammatory titles, the racism and hate is just left to fester within comment sections etc... It's really sad to see how much the platform can be damaging to everyone visiting it without moderation. It feels like the funnyjunk website now, but somehow is getting worst. Seeing an entire feed only filled with hate, misinformation, and full of bots.

He just wants a private club with a familiar venue. He knows people like twitter, so he buys it for himself to play king among the plebs and rubbing it into the faces of his "critics" who truly know who he is. Sometimes I wonder if he actually acknowledges the outside world at all since his 5 minutes of fame. Anyways, the emperor has no clothes, and his self destruction is highly entertaining.

I think he just wants a private club with all the people already inside on a familiar and well respected platform imo, he just doesn't realize that his 5 minutes of fame are over, people see for who he really is.

I am so excited about what's going to happen for Lemmy, I was looking for a replacement for Reddit, and this fedverse seems to have so much potential!

Do kids really impact the level of conversations on social platforms? Many adults are just as immature.
