The most money I ever made in the music industry was being part of a class action lawsuit against MTV. Record sales and live shows are nothing.

You should watch the film, it’s great!

Unfortunately the communities that I’m interested in didn’t really move. I tried very hard to just quit Reddit cold turkey, but instead I’ve dialed it back to only 4-5 core topics that I’m interested in. For general doomscrolling I mostly use Apple News now. I check Lemmy every day or two but it’s hard to get stuck in when the discussions I’m interested in aren’t really flourishing here. Hopefully it grows over time.

The fact that the login UI has username, password, and 2FA code all on one screen means this immediately wins. I hate this new trend of “put in your email, now go to another screen, put in your password, now go to another screen…” Ugh. My password manager can autofill more than one box at a time, you know!

yep i have been a sodium citrate convert since i watched an adam ragusea video on the topic. https://piped.video/watch?v=KcM_MZoJWOo

i picked up a bag off amazon for cheap and it really is magic.

The whole point of federation is that you don’t have to pick just one place. You can add communities from nsfw instances, communities from nerd tv instances, communities from your geographic locality, etc…

it’s a standardized protocol for creating decentralized social networks. basically if everybody who wanted to create a social network agreed to use activitypub, they’d all be able to talk to each other, just like anyone can send email to anyone else, even if they aren’t on the same email server.

this is why i’m against bluesky even though a lot of my friends are on it… it’s just another walled off single-entity-controlled property. didn’t we learn anything from twitter and now reddit!?
