A Request to the Fediverse Community

[ketchup@reddthat.com]

Love that sentiment. And I love the fediverse. Thanks to every developer and every one of us using this. I deleted Reddit in 2022 and never looked back, thanks to all of you. I use my phone a little less, and YouTube is the only thing I still use that’s not federated.

[lennnny@lemmy.world]

Yes sir/ma'am/person!

[wiz@midwest.social]

An assertion like this requires proof!

[wistful@discuss.tchncs.de]

I kinda started using lemmy less lately. I shall fix that!

[pigup@lemmy.world]

rule

[melonyellow@lemmy.ca]

Me too. I don't get how people can't get past the choosing a server and I'm not a techie. Like have you ever played a video game and had to join a server? It's not that complicated! Lol. People are such lame giver uppers.

[moseschrute@lemmy.world]

Yeah I’m guilty of that. I posted to Reddit today, but not Lemmy. I’ve been telling my friends to switch to federated social media, but I still find myself slipping back to Reddit. Not because I like Reddit better but because they have more content or I already know where to look for specific content. But I’m going to try and post more. Thanks for the reminder!

I know this is the wrong thing to focus on, but federated social media is really lacking sex appeal. Like the technology powering it is so cool, but many of the clients (especially the defaults) are ugly.

I’m not saying form over function, but I find well-designed + functional apps really enjoyable to use. I want to be the solution. I’m writing my own Lemmy client and I really hope I can deliver on the sex appeal in addition to an amazing user experience.

[purple_drink@lemmy.world]

I agree. And I cant rightfully feel that way and not contribute more so here's to turning a new leaf

[mcdutchie@r.nf]

Try another server. I use r.nf and it's very fast. Decentralisation is pointless if everyone flocks to the same server.

If people want freedom and independence, they're going to have to a little work for it, because those things never come for free. And yes, that is a feature, not a bug. That "I should not ever have to engage my grey matter" mentality is the whole cause of the corporate fascist mess in the first place.

[fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de]

I dislike the constant reddit comparisson.

Lets just try to be our own thing. Not like reddit and also not unlike reddit just be lemmy.

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

you're not wrong! back when i was considering mastodon, i found finding a good client difficult, and i understand plenty of people aren't too fond of just using the sites anymore.

[glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz]

My joke is so good, that you do not cry right now.

[internetexplorer@lemmy.world]

There's a lot more aggressive unpleasant people. Or bots. That's the scary things these days, we don't know what's real anymore. People we talk to online or see. If it's fake trumped up hysteria.

Or even takes pictures of videos.

And I don't see it getting any better.

[umean2me@discuss.online]

You're probably right tbh

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

It was a joke, people comment (and sometimes complain) about how much I post on the regular.

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Reddit prob got big because they used bots to fudge their upvote numbers to make their site look more active than it is, I'm saying this with no evidence lol

[dumbass@leminal.space]

Ohh I know how much you post, half my comments are on your posts lol.

[mitm0@lemmy.world]

Or just any FOSS & Decentralized platforms in general

Actually this Odysee post explains what I want to say about stregthening Alternative platforms
