Its no longer a community, now its an entire instance. And boy does it show sometimes.

I'm gonna upgrade my setup at some point, so thanks for this. I didn't realize they had some bullshit like bitlocker in there, definitely going to disable that because I cannot lose some files.

I'm having the opposite going on, post upvote swipe is still blue but comment is now orange like I set it.

I scrolled the comments and some comments are about some paid search engine, definitely seems suspicious and especially when OP didn't give us any of his search parameters.

One of the things they don't allow is removing their logos and the ferrari name off the car, so I suppose adding a hook would be fine. I don't know if those cars are built for it, but I do think they would allow it.... Felt really stupid typing that, as if they need to "allow" anything on a car you would own.

It's the same with messengers, if your friends arent there how useful is that foss messenger really?

This is so difficult. How many people would be willing to switch to Signal or Wickr for one friend? And then what if none of their friends don't want to switch? And then the friends of those people, etc. Trying to switch workgroups, family, friends and all of their friends as well is a lost cause, it would never happen.

Really liking Bluesky so far, hope it picks up some steam soon. It really is something special and way less confusing (at least for me) than Mastodon.

E: But to add, let's face it, no decentralized platform will ever replace a centralized one unless something major happens. I just don't see the mainstream adopting Bluesky/Mastodon/Nostr unless something incredibly drastic happens. As much as I'd love for Bluesky to get some more steam, it won't at this rate. People want to get on it, but can't.

Same here, on desktop it is my go-to. Sync doesn't support it yet, so can't use it.

This is how I feel about Bluesky. It's so good, but really needs more people.

I'm on Bluesky, but literally nobody I follow on Twitter is. I'm all for Bluesky, but it needs more people to become successful. I enjoy it a lot, but it just needs mainstream attention first.

Anyone who thought that a decentralized option (Lemmy or anything else) would ever have a serious chance at replacing a centralized option (such as Reddit) was always huffing ungodly amounts of copium. Stuff like this where the admins work for free and have very specific hard-ons for what they think they should allow is one of the many reasons it was never going to work.

And I say this as someone who has seriously tried using kbin/Lemmy for the past 2.5 months. I have found plenty of good stuff here, but I think I would have stopped already if LJ didn't release sync, which has so far been the only thing that has made Lemmy bearable to use.

I might buy a flip foldable in the future (so either the Samsung flip or the Motorola RAZR) because I like the idea of using my phone less if I can do at least some things on the outside screen + I like the idea of propping the phone up on itself for videos and photos. I really don't need a book type foldable, but the clamshell just has something to it... In the future.
