Lemmy feels like the old internet IMO and I'm really enjoying it so far! :)

I'm excited, but at the same time worried about the technical side of things. How the load can/will be managed, what can we do to help, etc.

Great to see F1 discussions taking off on Lemmy!

Happy for Mercs, they seem to be improving. Hope they can fight for wins soon, but more importantly, we need an Alonso win.

And for some reason, Redbull dominance feels more boring than Merc dominance, but that could be recency bias.

Definitely cool, but the price is wayyyyyyy too insane, even by Apple standards

Sup?

Old technology and thinking of how life was before the Internet usually makes me feel that way. It surprises me sometimes how far we've come.

That's amazing, great job and thank you!

I have the same fear. There is some momentum on moving away from traditional profit-oriented outrage-dependent social media and moving to decentralized technology.

The movement needs succeed to some extent and that traffic needs to move to Mastodon, Lemmy, etc. And for that to happen, Twitter and Reddit (add Facebook for good measure) need to cause a significant exodus to other platforms.

I just hope it isn't another Whatsapp -> Signal migration which failed to cause a significant shift in the end.

Well said!

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the link! I was curious about that as well

Ah yes, I absolutely loved Watch_Dogs! Glad I wasn't the only one! :)

It's such a relief man. Visiting reddit after this actually makes you realize how bad things have gotten, on not just reddit, but rest of the internet. So much rage, hate and negativity. This place feels... normal. Reminds me of simpler times.

Thank you for your comment! The was a great write-up and I have a much better understanding of Lemmy's infrastructure.

Haha same! I've already commented here more than what I have on reddit in the past 5 years at least. And I'm not even forcing myself to comment. It just feels authentic. I feel that my voice won't be lost in the void of the internet. I agree with @Disgusted_Tadpole. Last time I had this feeling was on orkut back in the 2000s. Exciting times! :)

Well said, I agree

This is exciting! Though they never should've left in the first place

That's great to hear! As much ss I like to bash Apple sometimes, this is a great step and I really appreciate this change

Thank you, I'm one of them. I saw your post on that thread and just signed up.

That'd be the dream! One can hope
