Step one to what? Not going back to jail...?

Is it though? Maybe I'm misinterpreting it, but the way I'm reading it is "Most people don't make money because they aren't investing their money". If you do a search for the group mention in this picture (David Henning Mindset), you get a page for a financial advisor. Both of these are leading me to think this post is referencing the "grind" mindset and how "you need to invest your money" to not be struggling.

Is this the idea that antiwork subscribes to?

Not really the best metaphor, as in Monopoly you actually start with money. A better analogy would probably be something like: Imagine you're playing Monopoly, but you don't have any starting money and all the properties are already bought up. Every time you pass go and collect $200, $180 of it immediately goes to the rich. That is how most people live their lives.

It's nice seeing how much Lemmy is growing. I knew there would be an influx of new users from the 30th, but it's honestly nice seeing more comments overall and posts getting upvoted.

New articles will still reference tweets, as people and communities are still engaging on there. You can view an embedded tweet in an article, but you can't read any of the replies to the tweet nor view the tweet as a whole.

It's nice, I just wish there was more activity. Hopefully it will grow overtime. My concern is the barrier of entry for new users. The whole "different instances" thing can be quite confusing.

My understanding is that using Plex/Jellyfin is perfectly fine. The only real concern would be the actual way that the media was obtained, but you can host whatever you want on Plex.

I normally lurk, but I feel more comfortable posting here than on Reddit for some reason. On reddit I would mostly just upvote or downvote posts and move on.

Do you think people will actually convert to Lemmy? Or do you think they'll just end up going back to reddit?

I kept googling questions and clicking on the reddit posts. Reddit seems to be the only place to get some real answers sometimes.
