Do You Only Use Lemmy Or Do You Use Another Fediverse Thing And Why Did You Become A Fediverse/Lemmy Use?

I started exploring Lemmy/Kbin during Reddit's API drama. I use Lemmy daily, mostly just lurking, but occasional participation. I probably participate here more than I did on Reddit. I post to & scroll through Pixelfed occasionally, definitely more than I ever used Instagram. My Mastodon account is essentially abandoned. I never had a Twitter account, so not exactly surprising. Oh, I also briefly tried Loops, never used TikTok. I'm not big on videos, so I haven't tried Peertube.

I'm tired of billionaires and big tech and want to support alternatives.

Yup. I often show up to appointments awkwardly early because I'm just sitting, staring at my phone, waiting to leave, then realize I could do the exact same thing at my destination, minus the anxiety of watching the clock, so I leave.

Am I the only one bothered by this?

There's a shop near me that has one of those sandwich board signs on the sidewalk with some sort of "fuck the billionaires, support small businesses" messaging, but for some idiotic reason, it has the faces of those billionaires on it, so every time I see it, I just get angry.

Assuming it's real, I think it would have to be as chimera. I don't even think an extra chromosome would explain this. I'm oversimplifying a little, but the genetics when it comes to the black/brown coloration is either "tabby" or "not tabby", and "tabby" is dominant, so as long as it received one copy of "tabby", every part of the coat that isn't white should be tabby.

We live in a public transit hell

As an American living in a region with halfway decent (by American standards) public transit, I feel like I hear more comments aligned with the European side than the American side. If public transit has literally any downsides, that's justification enough to drive for so many people.
