Our German family also calls them handys.

Pirate bay still in operation?

And someone else gets paid.

It was the best of times it was the worst of times.

The most timely time of all time.

Connect has some annoying quirks but overall has been pretty good.

Though not gonna lie, the Lemmy web interface isn't really that bad either. It's not an app to be sure, but at least it runs pretty smooth.

Take my hand and you'll see, a world that's purely federated

Just don't buy into any social media IPO's lol

Apparently I'm an asshole.

Edit: no I'm not a cop LOL

This is why targeted media and advertisement is a bad idea.

It makes it incredibly easy to test people and put them into information silos where what you see is not what I see.

Yeah sucks back in the day on nationalized television one add would run cross country, but at least then you knew it was going to be scrutinized by a wide swath of individuals. Or maybe the segregation of information was not as widely considered then.

But now? We've seen how platforms can engage certain people and even cause mental disability through force feeding insane garbage at them. And the rest of us get to suffer for it, while being blissly unawares as to why.

Ads should be illegal TBH.

Who needs that in their life? If your product can't stand on its own merit and you need to bathe swaths of the general public with nonsense to sell anything then maybe your product deserves to fail?

I'm glad to see there are viable alternatives. When the niche subs move, it's game over for reddit.
