Don’t tell me what not to tell you!
Raildrake@vlemmy.netto Fediverse•Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends FacebookEnglish4·2 years agoI see Lemmy and the fediverse more as an evolution of how we approach the web. We should absolutely cater to more casual users eventually, and try to have as many people as possible to leave behind these greedy internet monopolies. We clearly saw that they’re not the way to go.
How we get there is a bit of a question mark, it’s clear that there’s a big push from more involved/aware users to break away from big corporations. This doesn’t mean we’re building on outrage, just that it was the initial push to get something new started.
If the attention this post is getting isn’t a strong indicator of what our communities want, and the direction that the fediverse and all instance admins should follow, then nothing will be.
Especially now, because of the extra obstacles of joinin the fediverse, users are on average more aware of the implications of such a thing. We should listen our people.

Raildrake@vlemmy.netto Fediverse•Lemmy's active users (content creators) see impressive 35% growth so far in JulyEnglish72·2 years agoAbsolutely, and it’s been very refreshing to see discussion get broader and be filled with memes and other interesting content.
It will take a while to get somewhere close to Reddit, but if we talk about how it feels, I see it getting closer and closer day by day.
Meta sucks and they don’t respect their users privacy, but really the United States are falling backwards so hard, it’s incredible.
Thanks for the heads up, fuck this bloat/spyware shit.
Raildrake@vlemmy.netto Memes@lemmy.ml•"The warrior and the poet are not mutually exclusive." - John Lovell12·2 years agoIt’s a bit of a dated stereotype, thank Hollywood and the “nerd vs jock” trope.
You can absolutely feel how much bigger it got, and it feels more and more populated every day.
I’ve been here only one week and the change has been so obvious.
Over the years it gets tiring, it doesn’t help that there’s a huge technological illiteracy issue even though we depend on it and use it every waking moment.
Raildrake@vlemmy.netto Showerthoughts•We should start saying "Thanks /u/spez" from now on as reddits bad practices made us move to lemmy45·2 years agoExactly, we’re not defined by our relationship with Reddit.
I have to say I also watch videos in background while doing other stuff, but that doesn’t make it a better medium to convey information, just more practical when the information is not important enough to be the main focus of someone’s attention, and that’s pretty subjective.
But I do get the point, I just wish it was different.
Missed chance to call it Broccolatte.

Raildrake@vlemmy.netto Technology•No Thanks—Why I'm Avoiding Instagram Threads.English492·2 years agoI really don’t get this trend of turning everything into a video. Is it supposed to be easier to consume?
I would much rather read an article and get the information I want at the pace I want.
Look Harry, it’s the new Chumbus 2000!
