I think reddit has a huge advantage due to search engine indexing, and the wide berth of communities which provide support for technical issues or nicher interests. It kind of brought all these into one place, which im sure is excellent in regards to SEO

you’re not wrong! back when i was considering mastodon, i found finding a good client difficult, and i understand plenty of people aren’t too fond of just using the sites anymore.

be the change you want to see in the world! sincerely, the new owner and moderator of [email protected] and [email protected], respectively

oh yeah, i had heard of that, i just didn’t recognize the name. honestly it’s made me consider offboarding from protonmail (only on the free version) since i have aliases on my own domain anyway

I bow down to your sense of comedic timing

Andy Yen controversy? May I ask?

nice cake

i have never used meetup, does mobilizon seem a decent fit? https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

to be fair, I set up calyx a while ago, back when i was only at the beginning of my privacy journey, and still thought i might need google services. Though I’ll absolutely be giving graphene a try when I can!

*sensical

try harder! fool!

I know mastodon is an opt-in search model, but yeah, search results are reddit’s biggest advantage

briar comes with calyxos, and I’ve been considering it. The shame is I don’t message all that much, and mostly use messagers for resources or distribution (can’t believe so much support is moving to discord)

learn to bot, the enshittification of lemmy begins with you!

it’s sad when people’s call to action is when things go into freefall I cant claim superiority though, I’ve been there

I’ve heard good things about Nebula, and I’m hoping to get an account when I’ve saved enough

I’m considering making some Peertube content to help water the drought! Just need some good ideas, haha

Then die.

possibly the biggest eye opener has been seeing how much the average person knows about computers, it’s seriously hard to comprehend that divide (obligatory xkcd; https://xkcd.com/2501/), I think the best we can do is build a community, and give the loved ones in our lives an onboarding experience where we can. learning anything new is intimidating, but through exposure, it can be done, we’ve just gotta make it worth it.

beautiful mantra, it’s philosophies like that which serve to build a kinder, more respectful world!
