For me, Blender was probably my very first introduction into FOSS. I was using it because it was free, but I also liked the concept behind having a useful software the people used everyday to make cool projects like movies and animated shows. I did a project on it in. What really got me down the rabbithole was Debian. I had come across it in computer class, and I really liked the interface. i did more research and came to love Debian for being a stable distro run by the community. From thereit’s history.
I’m not sure, but if it gets the ability to sync comments and posts across instances, i’d love that feature!
We need outoftheloop, or something like that for lemmy, i enjoy reading all the juicy drama thats bound to come from the wonderful concoction of early unstable-ish foss software and people problems.
Penguins are the bomb. They’re cute, adorable, and help keep the world running w
Honestly, so far, for my lemmy experience, Beehaw, as well as a few smaller instance, have been pretty safe spaced, and a lot more chill than the general atmosphere of the Internet. They are a good example of what good moderation looks like, and i hope this style catches on as instances grow.
They’re really pulling an America, aren’t they?
Honestly, I wouldn’t be opposed to something like this. There’s already a feminism community, so having a mens liberation community also seems good because it can help men be better allies of other women, men, and gender nonconformijg individuals.
KILL IT
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
Conspiracy of the rich and the economic policies which they use to make more money and ruins them as well as everyone else.
Shh, shh, let it happen, let it happen. Meanwhile, want some popcorn? I made like 3 tubs worth of it

Striking line–now we just have to figure out how to get people off their screens and onto streets.
Well, i tried to vent my emotions, so thanks for the tip. I can get carried away a little easily
Chuking a $1000 phone at soft surfaces and praying gravity curves the phone in just the right way 😭
Could this be related to that massive hacking attack from earlier, where a lot of the big instanes were hacked?
i want to watch the corporations burn too. but we’re losing something we’ll never get back.
This perfectly highlights the precarious situation we are in. We have collectively decided to put A LOT of Internet history on a few centralized places that don’t really care about data as profit, and now it is coming back to bite us in the rear. We will lose a lot of history that we can never easily get back, whether it is deleted, or siloed behind a login/paywall screen.
Take, for example, Twitter burning down. It affects everyone negatively. Think of all the important conversations going on about race, gender, sexuality, and protests and movements, that will be lost to time. Think of all the artist who have posted work on there, only to discover they have to shift to a new platform literally overnight because no one can see their artwork and there is a mass exodus. Think of how good reputable news sources are becoming even more fragmented as reputable, trustworthy actors flee Twitter, turning it into a swamp of misinformation and disinformation.
Now take this scenario, and spread it across all the major sites, keeping in mind how all sites rely on each other to be useful, so damage becomes exponentially worse as more large sites decide to do restrictive policies that trap users and data within their sites. As a result, information cannot travel as freely between boundaries. Now taking into account all the damage that has been done, the Internet won’t be the frontier of possibility and community as it once was, but rather another cash cow, and medium of distribution: it will become like a more interactive version of TV.
I wish we could go back to the mid 2000s/early 2010s era of the Internet…I miss those days… Sorry for doom ranting a little, it’s just the Internet as a concept is important to me.
Probably better to use “out of the frying pan and into the fire”
Honestly, this was a very cool experience. Being able to log in with a Lemmy account on the open Fediverse showed me a taste of what is possible. Now if we can figure out how to migrate accounts to different instances I’d honestly love that so much.
