Thank you for noticing π₯°
I wish I had friends.
Why make friends when you can make enemies? - Lemmy
That does indeed often seem to be the case, sadly.
Me too, thanks.
No but I might be like that with self hosting stuff.
People care about Spotify, but not their own private Spotify, does not compute!
I wouldnt tell anyone i use Reddit irl let alone Lemmy
My issue was them asking what social media I used.
I sometimes said Reddit cause saying nothing sometimes got me perplexed looks.
I never told anyone I used Reddit, but I've def told many about Lemmy (within my foss propaganda I regularly administer upon the unsuspecting, if need be at the urinals).
(Still won't ever share my username, I don't like people like that)
I started using Reddit in 2008 (kill me). One of the of the defining traits of the site at the time was the fact everything was anonymous. It was considered taboo to expose your Reddit persona to your irl circles. Hell, I still don't have an email associated with my Reddit account.
It's been interesting, and a little tragic, to watch that attitude erode over the years and then see Reddit itself encourage the idea of creating a unique identity to cash in.
Lemmy is way more like the original Reddit & I'll actually admit to using Lemmy, even though no one knows wtf I'm on about.
Yeah, was on Reddit almost daily since prob around 2008 too, up till only a bit over two years ago.
The anonymity within one account(name) is great, don't need or want more for interaction online.
It's great for introverted social interaction.

someone in IRL asked me my username once, and I thought it was so weird. Of course, I didn't tell them.

I've heard people say, "I saw X on Reddit" I don't think it's stigmatized.

I only mention Lemmy as a caution, like what to avoid, while Iβm mentioning other fediverse social media..
Because Iβm a woman and most of the people I know who want social media alternatives are also women, and Iβm not subjecting them to this shitshow. I like them too much to bring them here.
It's like people think FOSS means considerate. It means it's the wild west, with a few zealous moderators who care way more about respecting femboys than women.
Perhaps I am so conditioned to concealing my gender online that I haven't experienced misogyny here, but I felt like most the community are feminists.
I read a similar sentiment yesterday in a thread about apparent misogyny on lemmy. As someone affected, what would you suggest be done to improve the situation?
I must say I have rarely observed the issue myself and if so the offenders generally get down voted to hell and eventually mod deleted. Though I am of course a dude and not frequenting the women centric spaces, so my perception is definitely skewed.

Reddit is entirely a "normie" platform now. 6 years ago I was actually made fun of for using it, but now even my grandparents talk about it.

Bragging about Lemmy is just a vessel for bragging about Linux.

I mained Lemmy before I mained Linux.
Lemmy is cool, but that kind of behaviour is quite disgusting to be honest.
Wanna get federated?
Federate me harder daddy
Call some fiends, there are lots of urinals still free!

It's 2025. We should be able to piss right next to each other and check each other's cocks out.
Why is there no /c/ock
With Lemmy, there could be multiple /c/ock communities -- one per instance haha
I'll check your /c/ock once it's up then

Me in the yellow shirt: ..... (turning towards you suddenly in surprise without thinking) .... LEMMY! ... ME TOO!!!!! ... (as I'm smiling and spraying you with urine)
At least he's not using the same urinal.
His urinal is on a different instance.
The federated peeing platform.
More often than not when I mention Lemmy to someone, it's after they've told me about something they saw on reddit and their reply is invariably, "what the fuck is Lemmy?"
I sent someone a screenshot and they asked what wefwef was because it showed the name in the top left of the screen shot as like a βgo back to your last appβ link. Turned into a short painful discussion that I was happy to be over. Sometimes I think people are purposefully obtuse though and it reminded me why I donβt talk about technology with most everybody I know IRL.
"Lemmy is reddit methadone." Is my go-to answer.
It's rare to see a meme taken with a camera. This one's gotta be a collectors item.
I'm going to add this comment to my scrap journal.
Its probably a screenshot taken from an app that adds a fade to black at the top
That's totally not believable.
Blue shirt didn't even mention Arch!
He's somehow attached to old Ubuntu builds
