That's what I'm seeing too. Mastadon is kind of cool, there are some cool things to see there but it's in the world of Twitter, Instagram etc where it's all about the self promoting, and not about building community really.

I drink diet soda to not drink soda. I drink soda to not do drugs and alcohol. I'd much rather have heroin than diet coke, but I probably shouldn't ever have that again. So I'll have a diet coke, on ice please.

Should get rid of paywall

I suggest we do it over Australia.

Mastodon has been a better alternative to reddit for me than Lemmy has so far tbh, except it's not as interactive with other people I less you chase followers. But the niche communities have more activity over there than here so far.

Compared to musk? No. Not even close tongue same tier. But he's still a 1%er

Imagine paying 40billion dollars on a company to just sink it, and being like "oh well still rich lol"

If you like tech, especially throw backs to old computers you might like Veronica explains. She has 2 accounts on mastodon, one seems more active and the other on seems mostly to just point to her YT channel.

just search for Veronica explains under users/channels and both will show up

I found her cause in addition to being new to the fediverse I'm also new to Linux and found some Linux stuff on her YouTube channel.

No but my post was deleted

Someone told me i was going to get banned for saying i joined lemmy.world on reddit.. and it's like.. Okay?? This site is shit now anyways, so you're going to ban me for using a different website, that's a great way to retain users during your mass-user revolt crisis.
