Yesterday I was with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while. The meme was me exactly.

Thanks for the information, it is great to know that they work well with Home Assistant, for the price they have had my doubts but I think that I will try

The free market naturally generates monopolies, only government intervention can maintain an artificially competitive market in the long term.

I see my posts from mastodon and I usually retoot them

It used to not be necessary because democracies used to have moral authority but since the revelations of Manning and Snowden non-Americans see no difference between giving our data to the USA or to China or any other. We also know from the reaction to the war in Ukraine and Gaza that human rights claims are only sometimes used.

As long as our governments, political parties and politicians continue to use it, it will remain relevant.

I think it’s a good project and I agree that we need to think about the fediverse from a “marketing” perspective.

Ok, I might be the exception, but as I said before, Instagram has its main user base among people of my generation. I don’t think those users care about bandwidth at any level.

I would never upvote without seeing what community it is in. It wouldn’t happen to me on Lemmy but the Reddit algorithm spent weeks showing you stuff from that sub and it was something I hated, maybe over time I ended up doing what you said, but for now I still have the habit of doing it.

Yes, a link without a preview is unpleasant

I am 38 years old, I remember perfectly when downloading a single song could easily take a week, porn was exclusively photos because online videos were unimaginable and streaming hadn’t even been invented yet. I don’t understand why you’re still worried about that right now, photos, videos, games, movies, everything moves online in a matter of seconds, downloading at +10Mb/s on emule is today normal. I have gotten used to it normally.

I don’t agree at all with the author’s approach. I’m a millennial and I came to Reddit around 2019-2020, using it a lot since the pandemic, I prefer the new reddit a thousand times. It’s not a question of interpreting the site as questions, it seems like a nonsense to me. It’s a matter of making everything more visual, I don’t stop to read the title, the community or the author, at a glance I see the vast majority of the post, if I consider it I see the rest of the information, most of the time I ignore the information, because I don’t care.

I would like to remind you that Instagram (the example given in the article) is mostly used by millennials.

Why abandon Twitter then?

Why would I want to put anything into Threads or Bluesky? They are just other centralized networks with a corporate owner wanting to financially exploit my contributions.

It’s pretty good, but I think it should be explained a little more about the selection of instances. I understand that for basic users what you put may be worth it, but such a long text I don’t think it is for basic users and for those who want to know a little more to explain that they must take into account moderation policies and federated/defederated instances I don’t think it is going to lengthen it too much over what you have now

But does she have a Mastodon account? Or is she still giving traffic and publicity to Twitter?

Only 13%?? With everything he’s going through, it seems very little to me. I think that the turning point would be top-level institutions and politicians changing Mastodon, I think that as long as that does not happen Twitter will still be relevant unfortunately
