Holy crap everything you were saying was hitting word chords in me, so relatable, then you said Monticello. I just moved to Earl Park, was going to have to decide between Century Link and satellite, then Mainstream came through like a week before I closed on the house and installed cheap fast fiber.
It’s just a case of different opinions, I think. Or perhaps they think reddit having 100’s of millions of users is creating the problems, and that they won’t exist here if those same voices came to Lemmy. But I would mostly just say it’s two different groups of people asking for two different things.
I’m in the boat that Lemmy has fully replaced reddit for me and I don’t feel the need to go convincing more people to jump ship. The people who cared about the health of Reddit as a platform have already come to Lemmy, the people who don’t, or need the massive userbase to use a website? They can stay there.
What? No, he’s saying they’re bringing reddit behaviors with them as they leave reddit, and he hopes they’ll stop.
For a hot minute there I misread, I thought Intel was leaving the business off making PC parts entirely, not just these small form computers. Really rustled my jimmies
Would it make any sense to stand up my own instance, federated with what I want, follow the communities I want from other instances, and just ignore the rest? Is there any reason to not do that?
I fit none of your 3 categories! But I would say with the slightly less convenient joining process compared to most social media, the Fediverse is going to have to built up by people willing to take that burden, at least at first
I went on a deployment, got a nice gaming laptop for that. When I got home back to my desktop, I basically had no need for it so I hooked it up to my living room TV. At first I just played some controller friendly games on it, but now I use it as the entire media center with Stremio and qbittorrent and the likes. I use unified remote to have my phone as the remote.
