My question is this: Does Spez know? And how? Do they have analytics tracking the same decline we are aware of via anecdotal evidence but they are looking at in in a graph that resembles the Hindenburg’s last landing?

I’m not a tech fella – just a refugee from the Reddit collapse trying to find my way in a social media environment that feels more authentic, less corporate, and more free. So – here’s wishing all of you good luck in this position but for me, I’m just amazed that a major browser has the Fediverse on the radar. Isn’t this kind of a big deal?

Wow… I read that whole thing— up to the continued in the comments.

There was a comment in this thread about Reddit being about cynicism and the Fediverse being about authenticity (something even sweeter) and I read your mini essay and just loved it and found it whatever that sweeter word is.

What gets me about this thread are the insults from Reddit refugees who don’t understand that the only way to topple Reddit — leave it the ghost town it deserves to be — is to live this optimism and to actually be the honey we thought Reddit once was.

Everything you wrote about Reddit was spot on.

Do you remember at the beginning of the collapse they rushed a reiteration of r/ place? What a joke.

Anyway — I’m happy to join the Fediverse and Lemmy especially. I see it’s decentralized nature, and the fact we can all set up a server, as Lemme meaning: Let Me! Lemmy join. lemme participate. Lemme run an instance.

This is my second reply — it was you who said the touching thing— “To be a Redditor is to be cynical, to be a lemming is to be sincere.”

I spent the last month and more poking around only Mastodon because of the “follower” impression lemming has and have come up with a more palatable association for Lemmy: Let me. Let me be a part of this better internet you envision.

Anyway— thanks for replying to my humble meme in this new platform. I’m still feeling my way into it.

Can you contribute a meme that conveys the toxicity of corporate media and the freedom of non-corporate connection? The freedom from tracking etc? Please show me the way. Something that will get your relatives to leave Facebook maybe?

I just searched this up as best I could and discovered that the stabber and stabee were both women. Is this meme referencing a different use of the regrettable taunt?

I’m slowly migrating to the Fediverse. Just created pixel fed account.

Posted a meme.

Two questions:

When I view my post in my account I see a link to image instead of image.

And not sure how to sort memes by new.

And to the topic of this thread… I would like to volunteer but I’m still finding me way. When I’m more confident I shall volunteer.

Hey — upvotes and downvotes! Signs of life! Question: how do I post so that the image appears directly and there is no need to click the link?

These always make me happy. I’m so glad I’ve joined Trek people. You put it all back on my radar and are preparing me for a rewatch. Should I start with TOS or jump right to TNG?
