Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating in c/technology@lemmy.world

Alternatively, it's possible cell companies like T-Mobile will lobby against these anticompetitive agreements, since it does reduce their number of potential customers. I don't like cell company lobbying any more than ISP lobbying, but in this case, let them fight.

Something tells me T-Mobile's got a little too much class solidarity to have any interest in reducing the profits of Charter Communications.

Thanks for the well-written explanation, stranger.

Who knew a company with an unhealthy obsession with harvesting every screen tap of data from every person using their services... would chicken out from connecting their servers to a bunch of clients they couldn't monitor.

... That said, I actually didn't see this coming. It baffles me that I didn't, but I didn't.

I want an alt account for writing. Is there a corner of the Fediverse you recommend? (lemmy.myserv.one)

I want to respond to writing prompts, but from a separate account. That way, if someone enjoys a story, they can scroll through my (alt account's) history for more writing without needing to dig through all of the dramatic, vitriolic, shit-stirring my main account will be regularly diving into.

I was wondering if one of you wonderful people was familiar with some corner of the Fediverse perfect for this sort of use? Or would you recommend I create the account here on Lemmy?

  • If I do go outside of Lemmy, I want to go somewhere capable of commenting on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world posts (in particular, commenting in the WritingPrompts communities on those servers).
  • I would prefer to join a public instance, like I did when I signed up for Mastodon and Lemmy.
  • Note: as mentioned above I have used Lemmy and Mastodon so far.

So: is there a part of the Fediverse I ought to be examining for this? WriteFreely, for example? Micro.blog perhaps?
