I’m not seeing much at all of that currently. A week ago? Sure. Now it’s been consolidated to a mega thread.

What if I told you we don’t need to compete with them?

The biggest issue is normies are stupid. That’s basically the gist.

I won’t touch anything with Dorsey’s name attached. Yuck.

Before algorithms we all used hashtags. Hashtags were very important to Twitter in the before times. That’s how you find topics on mastodon. I have columns set with specific hashtag sets so I can quickly glance at toots about horror movies, birds, retrogaming, etc…

You can also follow hashtags directly in your home feed just like Twitter topics.

It’s really not a difficult thing at all, but people are so addicted to Twitter they always give a halfassed attempt at switching before throwing up their hands.

Just delete the account a make it on another instance? What’s the issue?

Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…

Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.

Eh. I used to be a YouTube junkie but honestly I’ve gone back to live TV, Hulu, Netflix, etc… I’m kinda over the whole YouTube thing.

I’m so glad I signed up on Beehaw where I can flip my app to local only and makes these dog whistling conservative bigots disappear. It’s wonderful. I also never see any downvotes.

Mastodon is better anyway. I deleted Twitter ages ago when Musk took over. It’s amazing how many people have stayed there despite how much he’s shit all over the userbase. He makes Spez look like a saint.

Screw YouTube and Google. They aren’t getting a dime from me.

My mistake. The internet has programmed me to take any reply in context of lgbt to be with hostile intent. ❤️

Sorry I’m confused at your comment there. Care to elaborate?

It’s so beautiful 🤩

It’s a mastodon instance. Calm down.

Unnecessarily hostile comment. We’re getting closer to a true Reddit replacement!

I’m kind of torn on this. On one hand, yes reddit sucks, but on the other hand it’s an extremely search friendly source of information. Does Lemmy even play nice with search engines? The one good thing I can say about a centralized community like reddit is everything is there and easily accessible. Whenever I search for something I need a quick informed answer on I already prefix it with “Reddit.”
