shout out to the lemmy developers for not making us be stuck on the other site
shout out to mastodon devs for making us have a better life than on Twitter
shout out to the pixelfed devs for allowing a actual photography platform to exist
shout out to the peertube devs for helping us not be stuck on youtube until the end of time
ETA: Shout out to the server operators who make the stuff be done
This post is spiraling out of control with disrespectful behavior.
Locked.
If you don’t want this to change, then you need to help:
thank you
Yes but how do we make it into the mainstream?
“How do we ruin what we have.”
Just enjoy it.
Gatekeeping only helps keep the big tech oligarchs strong. If we want to lessen big techs influence we will need to be more welcoming here.
by making that choosing an instance is easy
i think it maybe by a automated quiz which asks you basic stuff and you get the answer
It’s not like Mastodon; there aren’t superior communities. Outside of hexbear or .ml, there’s no meaningful difference between lemmy.social and lemmy.zip you just join one and follow what you want of all the options.
The part the general public isn’t ready for is curating their own feed.
There’s no AI shoving things at you so you can doomscroll. They want that.
There’s also no ads paying for the servers, so we keep is small and enough of us dontate to keep it runnings.
You get a couple million twitter/reddis assholes over here burning server costs up with not donating shit; the nice, quiet, pleasant community we have goes to shit.
Don’t borrow trouble.
we are in the 750th upvote, thank y’all for upvoting
Unityposting? Well well, maybe there is still hope.
Lemmy should be getting a cut from all of those ISP’s out there.
Bookwyrm ! Funkwhale !
People should give the most money to the Lemmy devs but I think most is actually given to the largest server admins.
Don’t just say how much you love them. Donate to your instances monthly and make it easier for them to be sustainable.
Dont forget the instance operators who actually keep the servers running. Donations keep instances up.
oh yes your right il edit my post to include them
- Lemmy, Piefed, PyLova, Mbin
- All the apps (and there are quite a few)
- All the alternatives UIs (Photon, Blorp, old, etc.)
Thank you everyone
ActivityPub devs as well 🥰
whoever downvoted this, is the CEO of reddit
New Godwin’s law just dropped.
Its because of Lemmy being built by pro-genocide, pro-authoritarian, anti-trans communist Republicans.
but hopfully we could fork it and probably have a better time
So someone else would work on that massive project unpaid? :)
Someone with much worse skill levels too, most likely… And for how long would they think it’s fun? Open source is like a full time job for a project like this. You have to be unemployed to do it.
I dont care what the devs believe politically. I’m grateful for their software. I dont need them to be Americans or to like the west. Because I understand they grew up in a very different society than most of us did.
Or just use Piefed.
Or PyLova which has some really cool features, and responds to users ideas.
Ai slop enthousiasts
I’ve got grievances with PieFed, but even I don’t think it’s ai slop.
They made a very poor 4Chan text detector for censorship which looked like something AI would write at that time. It likely is AI slop.
Tankies aren’t republicans. And I am pretty sure they’re not pro-genocide. Or pro-israel, for that matter.
The ones here on the fediverse support Trump and Putin, the ones in Beijing provided the guns and funding for the October music festival attack which began the war on Gaza. Image attached:
LOL. Dude, you are either disingenuous or clueless and I can’t decide which.
Being anti-Zionist isn’t being antisemitic. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Democrats have been just as bad, if not more in favor of Zionism as the republicans have been.
But we are changing the party.
All aid to Gaza immediately ended upon Trump entering office, and Trump bragged about delivering 2,000 LBS bombs that the Biden admin withheld.
Yes? And?
Factually true comment that Trump killed less Palestinians is now offensive to Blue MAGA. Literal genocide fanboyism.
shoutout to mbin and friendica devs when
shout out to mbin for making new ideas
shout out to friendica for making the facebook alternative
Danke!
I should use Friendica more (or, like, at all), but I’m lazy.
I just don’t have friends to ica.
Thank you to all the developers and instance administrators! 💓
(Shame on those who stir up controversy for ideological reasons, seeking the worst in people who dedicate their time to improving the technology that enables the use of an open social web! 👿🤬)
And if you can, send some money their way. This place runs on donations.
If someone knows how to code, helping with their favorite projects is greatly appreciated too.
oh yes you’re right
Thanks, Lemmy folks! I have been, and intend to continue to be, intending to put up a server.
I’m sorry, in advance, for what is going to happen to all your hard work, as Reddit craters and all the oligarch bots start coming here to manipulate the populace / control the narrative.
As I’ve been saying since Usenet and Slashdot; it was good while it lasted.
