i’ve even received them as gifts (very expensive ones) but i just threw it in the trash
Wouldn't it have been better to tell the gift giver that you're really happy that they thought if you, but for security/moral reasons you don't want to install it? At least they could have returned it and got their money back.
What makes them think they're American? I don't see any guns or medical bills piled up?
I think it's just the colours for the peertube one. I like that it's three individual play icons to signify the federation aspect, but the colours are just dull.
Hopefully people are willing to donate to their instances to keep them financially healthy. It'll be a pretty big issue for growth if it starts to get popular but the larger instances can't afford to stay operational and disappear.
I've gone from sync to voyager too and yeah, that does bother me. Sync really does have the best UX, UI and performance but it's a shame it's basically been abandoned.
I don't think it helps that politics absolutely dominates Lemmy, where Reddit has enough diverse subreddits that you could probably just avoid politics all together.
It's much harder to get away from it here. But hopefully, as Lemmy grows then we start to see more and more users in the non political communities and people can have a laugh without people jumping down their throats. People just need to stick to it and give it a good go and help build something great.
It's not even a $5 one-off fee, it's a $5/month subscription!
That's weird, why would you want to see other fediverse content in Pixelfed? Surely it should be all Pixelfed content like op expects.
Linux -> penguins -> cold -> snow
Makes sense.
A high of 66 though definitely sounds like an issue!
Probably because it's the defacto messaging app in the UK and nobody probably questioned it.
Same. I don't know why people keep trying to use the email example, personally I found it too much of an abstract concept that doesn't necessarily work for Lemmy.
If I knew someone used Reddit then I'd just say it's like Reddit but instead of a single authority in charge of Reddit, anyone can take the Reddit software and host it themselves, and if you create an account on one site you can still subscribe to subreddits on other sites and vote and comment on posts.
When I first read it I thought they were mentioning that as a selling point! But yeah it seems like they're saying it like it's a bad thing.
