Capitalism baby. Gotta cannibalize, monopolize, and enshittifize for maximum profits.

You beat me to it

Lemmy, and I’m never going back. I just wish we had the abundance of content that Reddit does. There’s a lot of communities I miss.

Yay, crimes against humanity!

Yes yes. It’s so satisfying contributing to OSM and seeing my changes pop up in OrganicMaps knowing it might help somebody and support open mapping data. I wonder if Wikipedians feel that way.

The Humanitarian OSM Team is cool too https://www.hotosm.org/

Universal UnifiedPush support so we can manage our own push notifications through something like NextPush on your Nextcloud. At that point I could completely remove Google Play Services from my phone without much trouble.

They published a 2024 roadmap at the end of last year. I saw it when I was looking into donating to Framasoft.

Peertube is planning on releasing an official app this year. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

That’s not how you’re supposed to think about it. I’m paraphrasing, but ✅️ means “safe” and ❌️ is the shape of your asshole when a known evil corpo entity comes to fuck you.

Recently, UnifiedPush where I can (currently just Megalodon for Mastodon sadly) as an alternative to using Google’s push notifications.

The beauty of the fediverse is that we can choose to defederate and isolate bad actors like Meta.

RSS is amazing. Recently started using it with the Nextcloud News app. Turns out I’ve really been missing out on the possibilities.

How it feels to never have had anyone in my life that I could just randomly call up and talk about happy and sad things with.

A unifed global language is one of the characteristics of a type 1 civilization and right now English happens to be in a position to become that language. But whether or not English is the optimal option is a whole different can of worms. Since language and culture are so intertwined, the idea of the cultures, beliefs, and “mindsets” of entire groups of people being slowly erased, dominated, and assimilated by the anglosphere mind is a concerning long term problem. You lose out on potentially beautiful things only people of that culture and “mind” are capable of creating/conceiving or nurturing. Also America’s dominance of cultural exports is insane.

Jeroba because it’s dev made and it was like the only one when I got on Lemmy. And it’s actually good. Recently started using Eternity as well because I was using Infinity as my main client for reddit.

Oh nooooo who could have seen this coming… anyway continues using Lemmy

Tbh for me the third party client thing was just the cherry on top of the constant barrage of corpo fuckery in general, plus the knowledge of reddit’s IPO and inevitable decline with the way things were headed for a while.

I’m already balls deep in FOSS and started dipping my toes into the fediverse as a whole, so switching off Reddit for me didn’t hurt in the slightest. It felt good. All spez did was give me the reason I was looking for to finally pull the trigger.
