Lemmy fulfills a sort of reddit/more intimate internet forum thing. Reddit’s real social good was fixing shitty search engine results by using Reddit as a keyword, and for centralizing a lot of hobbyist discussion. Lemmy and the lemmylikes will get there as the platform matures.

I’m loving pixelfed as a sort of Imgur substitute tbh. Quick and easy image hosting for when I post on here. Not crazy about Instagram as a social media platform so there’s nothing I need pixelfed to do besides let me host medium-sized images, caption them and copy the link.

Fandom is such a maliciously shitty service. I am eager for it to die and I hope whoever made modern Fandom falls ass first into a puddle

I gotta wonder what the motive is for the hacker or hackers involved. Can’t help thinking that there’s something deeper than just script kiddy bullshit but I’m not nearly informed enough to have an actual opinion

Finally feeling like I’m back on the Wild West of the internet. Hope lemmy world gets un-lemon partied

I agree in theory, lemmy becoming a capable scroll-when-bored service in general is gonna be the thing that increases the user base and retention. But hosting videos is dummy expensive and the fediverse is idealogically opposed to the advertising that would pay for that.

Offloading videos to YouTube or something similar and embedding them would be just fine for me, I like the idea of videos being on YouTube instead of being kind of orphaned in that liminal, unsearchable twilight zone of Social Media Video Hosting anyway

To make myself clear I’d rather be confused about lemmy servers than ever, ever use Discord as a wiki

I’m normier than the listed demographics and find the Fediverse and it’s associated jargon to be inline with 4 dimensional crochet in terms of ease of use
