Felt this belonged here.
Well said. I wish it wasn’t so mainstream to want to buy into something just because it’s backed by a megacorp.

yea and so mainstream to feel the need to squeeze every fucking penny out of anything humans create
Buy into your home instance instead by setting up a recurring monthly donation. It's doesn't have to be a lot, some have tiers as low as $1. Alternatively, you could donate to the Lemmy dev team, or some of the devs that are creating these spiffy apps we're using on our phones.
Either way is good. The most important thing is for Lemmy/Kbin to be, and continue to be, a community project. I personally donate to my instance.
Lovely quote. Anyone else rooting for the underdog here?
I love a good underdog story.
Why not boost the post instead of creating an image of it?
I did boost it. If anyone else wants to, here's the original post: https://social.coop/@eloquence/110663689429123291
I like the image. Did you create it yourself manually, or do you have a screenshot program that prepared this for you?
I'd also like to know, it looks pretty slick.
I used CleanShot X to create the image, but it’s only for Mac. If you’re on Windows, try ShareX (which is free and open source).
Thanks! That reminds me, I need to reinstall ShareX, I knew there was something missing after getting a new PC haha.

or just use shift + win + s It's Integrated in windows and works just fine.
I knew you were going to say that! Mac OS always has all of the aesthetics! One can only hope we'll get "pretty" windows apps eventually. Although, Microsoft would have to unify their UI first, and we all know that will never happen.
I knew I recognized him from somewhere. He was the developer of lib.reviews. https://github.com/eloquence
great product idea, i would love an open metacritic, but i cant find a front end to use this?
This is why I'm not worried about rushing features into the fedi. We're at an usable point right now, a lot obviously can be improved. But the point is that the fedi isn't going away. A private social media can be nuked over night. If all ActivityPub devs stopped contributing over night, then more people would step up and continue. The fedi isn't going anywhere and will continue to get better over time. There will be no stopping point where we run out of time. Development and improvements will be eternal until the heat death of the universe!
Haven't read it yet but this is facts
Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I'm working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.
Well said. I think people tend to think of the Fediverse as a competitor, but the goals are not the same. The Fediverse is wholly about the community driven by the community.
How was this image generated, is there a tool to make image from post? Also could anyone share original post?

Those are some fine words and definitely help motivate me to contribute more. No way I was touching threads before though, so not much convincing needed!
