Yes, you're correct. Musk is not very clever.
Can someone tell me what Mastodon is like please, I have social network fatigue and can't be bothered to try another one? 😅
I feel like I got out just at the right time!
It's such a shame that everything has to be commodifed. Being on lemmy, free of ads and financial incentives is such a breath of fresh air. Community and sharing ideas shouldn't be driven by money.
I'd love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.
If someone's beliefs are a danger to my life or others' then yep, I won't be pursuing a relationship with them, romantic or otherwise.
Why would anyone date a conservative, it isn't safe?
This shouldn't be allowed. I hate products in 2023.
Fuck Google. Fuck YouTube. Let's build the internet we want and deserve 🥰
Google is unusable now. Google images is the worst.
Yeah, I love my phone and the whole world it opens up, having access to so much information in my pocket. But I also hate how tied we are to them now. I bought tickets for a gig recently and the only way I can access them is by downloading an app (that I'm only going to use for this one gig). What if I didn't have a smartphone? What if I didn't want to take a smartphone to a gig? You aren't allowed to go to this gig without one, and it's a small thing, but I don't like how the option is out of your hands.
Pretty much every supermarket in the UK now requires you to download an app so you can access their offers. I hate this so much.
I think this must be a cultural thing because no one in the UK sends SMS messages. Everyone just uses WhatsApp or signal or telegram. I'm android and have literally never had anyone mention the colour of my bubble. I didn't know this was a thing!
Lemmy.world has been down a lot, I've been trying to use it but half the times I've logged on it's been down. So that might be part of it?
