Think of a banana split. Lemmy is the chocolate ice cream, mastodon is the vanilla, kbin is the strawberry, etc., etc. they are all different flavors. However, they are all in one “dish” that is the Fediverse.

Doesn’t matter what flavor of ice cream you are eating, it’s still ice cream at its base and thus they speak a common language underneath it all.

It’s basically a default action when replying to someone in Mastodon. It puts their username at the front.

You can follow an entire Lemmy community. If you do that, every COMMENT will show up in your Mastodon feed. If you see a comment you are interested in, clicking on it will give the post and the context for that comment!

a/s/l - the classic first message from anyone in 2001.

Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!

What chassis? I’ve got 256GB in an R720 but only 32 cores here!

I’m not going to say you are wrong, but I have yet to meet a single fucking person that actually cares about bubble colors.

I hear this parroted so often, but never see it myself. Didn’t see it when all I had used was Android devices, didn’t see it when I tried an iPhone and got involved in their own communities.

The proletariat is treated by the bourgeoisie the same as a mob boss treats his underlings.

Just good enough to make them comfortable, but not too comfortable to elevate themselves or no longer need them. Comfortably uncomfortable.

I agree with you, but half the US believes certain people aren’t actually people, so we have a long way to go to dismantle the problems of our world economic structure. An armed reform will just lead to authoritarianism, always has.

This is the beauty of ActivityPub and the Fediverse! We are connected by our legit mutual interests, not necessarily connected by our street address or location!

And you see the negative effects of this in many countries.

Don’t get me wrong, I totally get not having kids for financial reasons. I have kids myself, it’s been incredibly difficult. We’ve had to find the money and make ends meet, but at the end of the day we’ve been able to do it.

Lemmy itself isn’t slow, but many instance admins are struggling with performance scale due to the huge user growth. It’ll settle out, just bear with ‘em.

Once my kids get older they will be taught science properly, and they will be fully aware of the seriousness of our situation.

I know people keep saying “I don’t want my kids to suffer” but the fact is the only way out of this is getting more younger people out there AND ENGAGED to make a difference. Your child could discover a breakthrough to solve the problem, who knows? More population isn’t the real problem, it’s what that population does and what corporations do in support of those choices.

I’d rather have taken the shot and failed instead of never trying at all (born and tried instead of never born).
