I miss reddit

I don’t miss Reddit. I do miss Redditors. I’ve been through 20, or 30 different social media platforms from open source to Nostr to here for now, and what they all lack is that snarky something Redditors had. That’s not Reddit though. That was the people.

I’m not ok with what I’m seeing here tbh, but I’ve seen the trans community in my area, and they aren’t doing this stuff. So we cool. Id imagine that is the case with most of the trans community, but I really only have my anecdote to point to. I’m definitely not going to defend this person in particular though, and like wise any cis individuals screwing with kids inappropriately are right the fuck out of my desire to defend them as well.

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

This is pretty accurate. I was one of those that left Reddit, and started the search for something else. I went through sooo many different options, and landed here for now. I spent a large amount of time looking a Nostr clients. They could be a good option in like a couple of years. Some of those projects have good teams working on things, but they’re all just so new man. The sad part is the projects with the forsite to focus on diversified content have little funding, or terrible developers. Alternatively the project that are clean, and crisp are all Twitter clones parroting bitcoin 24/7, and acting like if they keep talking about it non stop everyone will magically come around to freedom money lol. For what it’s worth Lemmy has had some of the best diversity of content thus far, but it is not without concern for me. So I’m here for now anyways, and if things go well I’ll be here tomorrow too.

The Right to Repair Is Law in Minnesota. California Should Be Next

This is good for the appliance repair industry manufacturers have been moving towards specialty diagnostic tools recently that you have to have to diagnose, and can only get if you’re manufacturer authorized to do there warranty work, and make Pennies doing so. When we were authorized with Samsung they bombarded us constantly with “they took er jobs” propaganda when unreality the entire industry is so overwhelmed that I wish people would take some of my jobs. We don’t need manufacturers. They need us. Unless there are proprietary tools then we have to, or just don’t work on there appliances any more. Which isn’t good for the consumer at all.

I moved here from Reddit my I have 3 boxes to check off before I can commit to a home for social media. A community that rivals Reddit which is tough to do. They are some of the snarkiest bastards alive, decentralized of which Lenny gets kinda right, but ultimately someone owns this server, and that’s pretty centralized, and open source to avoid social media for profit. I haven’t found one out probably 69, or so that I’ve tried. If someone were to check all those boxes they’d eventually blow the top off of social media.
