Easily. I’m tired of this endless search for “content”, a single library is got more books than you could ever read in a lifetime - I’m sure you can find public domain stuff to suit all your needs (specially since you’re including freeware here)

Creating a community is super easy.

The initial moderation is also quite easy, though you need to dedicate some time to build the initial userbase and write clear, concise, reasonable rules.

What I can tell you from personal experience though is that maintaining a community after it grows is hard, and time consuming, and you’ll absolutely need extra moderators and moderator tools.

Right now, today, on Lemmy no communities are big enough for this to be a concern. However, Reddit also started small. Be prepared.

That’s a very cryptic post… But also one that really doesn’t belong to this community.

Either way, if you reported child abuse and helped prevent it, I thank you.

My opinion on Opera is that it’s an outdated piece of adware.

I agreed with this idea a few months ago, and you could actually unblock specific channels. Some would even ask during the video for you to whitelist their channel.

But now they add YouTube ads… And a sponsor segment. And a shady “undercover” mobile game ad. And they plug their merch store. All in a 10 minute video.

Sorry, no. I’ll block ads. In fact, I stopped paying for YouTube Premium precisely because I was paying for an ad free experience and getting ads all over the video anyway.

When I was a pre-teen and teenager, pop-punk and emo were popular.

Turns out I haven’t outgrown this genre. I now listen to more music from a variety of different genres and time periods, but ultimately, 80% of my library is still early 2000’s pop punk.

That’s a good comment in general, leave it up so users can learn about it, but not applicable to my situation unfortunately. I had installed all proprietary codecs and drivers, and could verify within the browser that decoding was indeed using the correct format and hardware. It just dropped lots of frames, which the same hardware doesn’t on Windows.

For Android, Moshidon is an amazing client that respects Material You design guidelines and is very feature rich.

As for an instance, mastodon.world

Windows 11, heavily modified with Group Policy Editor. No Microsoft account though.

I’d love to use Linux… But I’ve tried Mint, Ubuntu, pure Debian and Pop_OS and they all have severe issues with my hardware: from audio stuttering to dropped frames in hardware accelerated video decoding to random boot issues. Plus, some of the software I unfortunately use doesn’t support Linux. And even my game controller didn’t work correctly.

Sure! https://lemmy.world/c/stoicism

There actually is an active stoicism one!

When I was 15, for some reason a new social media platform launch made me excited. Twitter? Sign me up. Google is launching a new cool social media called Google Plus? Let’s go.

Nowadays? I use one: Lemmy. I wouldn’t touch a single big tech social media platform, and if Lemmy dies out… Guess I’m not using this type of service again.

Yakisoba. I could eat this everyday for every meal and never get tired of it. I love it.

Though good luck trying to make it balanced from a nutritional point of view. Waaaay too many oils.
