Sorry to ruin the fun but it stands for "Personal Computer Memory Card International Association"

There is a joke around the name, as you said, though :)

Not sure if this is the right place but I need to get off Twitter/X, I would love to use Mastodon but the hurdle feels bigger than Reddit to Lemmy. The Mastodon client feels uncomfortable to me for some reason, and I guess unlike reddit/lemmy where you have a group of people talking about specific topics, I am interested in following specific people on Twitter - a fraction of whom are on Mastodon. I don't want to support Musk or his platform but I'm struggling to find a replacement.

I guess if he starts charging for it the decision will be made for me 😅

That's what I thought, but not keen on it having ads/subscription model. I'd be happy to pay one off but that isn't available (at least yet). I understand the guy needs to eat, but right now I for me personally there isn't a value add vs. the FOSS clients.

I kind of get what you're saying, but I also think it's a bit naive, presuming you're also only here (as am I) because it all went so wrong with reddit. Do you want to support a platform where there's a corporate running it rather than the community? I think that's why a lot of people are freaking out about Threads, because the wounds are still very fresh/people have seen this play before.

If you like Threads then great, go for it, but if you are gonna hang out on lemmy where there is a culture strongly against centralisation, you're gonna find people talking smack about the thing you happen to like.

Ich hoffe, dass sie ihm neue EU-Beitrittsgespräche nicht zugesagt haben 😬

Ik denk ik heb geen taal ingesteld, het staat op Undetermined - doe ik iets mis?

He'll have a long wait

This shouldn't be something you need to do with super high frequency. Do you know what is causing the blockage?

Threads

/s

I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁

Mich macht es auch glücklich. Ich bin selbst kein Entwickler, kann also nichts dazu beitragen, aber es ist echt beeindruckend wie schnell alle Aspekte (Backend, Apps, Inhalte) hier besser werden.

You could transcode your downloads and store them at a lower quality if you want to save space. It is extra steps though.
