Not sure if this is the right place but I need to get off Twitter/X, I would love to use Mastodon but the hurdle feels bigger than Reddit to Lemmy. The Mastodon client feels uncomfortable to me for some reason, and I guess unlike reddit/lemmy where you have a group of people talking about specific topics, I am interested in following specific people on Twitter - a fraction of whom are on Mastodon. I don’t want to support Musk or his platform but I’m struggling to find a replacement.
I guess if he starts charging for it the decision will be made for me 😅
That’s what I thought, but not keen on it having ads/subscription model. I’d be happy to pay one off but that isn’t available (at least yet). I understand the guy needs to eat, but right now I for me personally there isn’t a value add vs. the FOSS clients.
I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁
- Old reddit redirect
- Reddit enhancement suite
Not sure how much you need these anymore 👀
Not sure just mildly infuriating 😅
Also infuriating: the number of my friends who have installed this shitty app 😑
+1 for duckduckgo, it removes all the built in trackers too and is built into their android app. I really like it.
Probably not. I understand the concern, but another issue is sending people to smaller instances which may end up disappearing. It’s all run by small groups of volunteers or even by individuals, at least on the bigger servers you have, at least in theory, a lower chance of the instance vanishing (with your account).
I don’t know if there are any plans to cooperate between instances for tech support/funding or if accounts can be transfered one day. Until then - a slow lemmy.world feels like the lesser evil.
Sorry to ruin the fun but it stands for “Personal Computer Memory Card International Association”
There is a joke around the name, as you said, though :)
