The hardest part is that the solution is often: Use subpar *buntu based distro for a month or 2 then get good enough to use Arch or something based off of it.
I’m really hoping that valve’s public release of Arch based Steam OS is good enough that I can just recommend that to people.
No, bird 2 then screams at bird 1 for using Ubuntu and recommends <FLAVOR OF THE MONTH HERE> distro that will totally work and is totally easy to use despite the lack of documentation. It’s then bird 1’s fault if they can’t get their niche hipster distro to work.
This post is inaccurate. There are plenty of Nazis on pleroma and gnu social (twitter clones).
Would be wonderful if the FCC did their fucking job for once and banned data caps. Companies like Mediacom abuse the fuck out of them
One thing i love about lemmy and kbin is that up votes and down votes are separate and visible. The only other semi successful reddit clone that did this was voat, and I’m glad that shithole site is dead. Rest in racist peices.
Who would believe a story like this?
To a small extent, yes. I kindof felt that when I discovered mastodon 5 years back, but it’s still not quite the same. Back then, the internet was a new adventure. Every website was kindof shitty, but they all had their own unique personalities based on who made them. The internet’s potential was unknown. The fediverse just feels like more of the same bland social media, but everything is messier and hard to find.
I say that, but Lemmy just makes me realize how much I took reddit for granted. Forums are nice, but it was great to have a place where at least 1/5th of the english speaking population congregated to discuss the issues of our time. I don’t think we will get that on the fediverse.
I want to believe in the fediverse, but it REALLY needs to be ironed out and made easier to use.
What we want is our shit in one place, without one asshole controlling what we see. Is that really such an impossible dream?
Anything that isn’t supported can usually be found either by flatpak or in the Arch User Repository.
