They are just angry that they did not think of selling 5-Star reviews to those restaurants themselves.

Possible, I’ll admit that.

He’s a pirate, why would he pay for a ship?

This joke makes absolutely no sense.

I agree that people should stop using twitter and if nobody used it, it would stop being relevant. But it still is relevant at this point. We’ve put a big piece of our “interaction infrastructure” in the hands of a small number of maniacs. If those maniacs misbehave, they need to be punished.

Just nationalize twitter and be done with it.

Oil companies are not the problem, people who still drive their car to work are!

Are you sure about that?

I ordered one on the 21st of August, it arrived exactly one week later on the 28th. Shipped to Germany I might add, so not sure how long it will take to north america. But I’d be surprised if if took much longer.

Sorry to be that guy: Install Linux?

But seriously: l’d like to know as well.

Yep. Those companies make it easy to join so they capture big user bases and become the defacto standard. I had a bad feeling about discord from the beginning. Glad I managed to stay away. But I’m old and not really interested in most “communities” online, so it’s an easy decision for me. With instant messengers on the other hand…

Discord is such an obvious “stay the fuck away from” product.

Yep. Not understanding kept me from joining Mastodon before.

The best reason to join a website I read today.

The subset of users that switched to Lemmy is smart enough to get over the “select an instance”-hurdle and fine with being on a smaller website with less content. This results in a different kind of interaction. Poeple here seem to still remember that there are actually living people behind those usernames. If Lemmy keeps growing there will be more chances to have the proper “go fuck yourself”-kind of interaction we are used to.

I was about to post the same. Joining the biggest instance is a bad Idea. I remember when joining Mastodon, there was a quiz that helped me find a fitting instance. Maybe there is a way to have something similar for lemmy instances? Maybe it already exists and I don’t know about it? The concept of a decentralized social network seems to be hard to grasp for people.
