If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

We should have a bot link federated alts for links... 🤔

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There is a Firefox extension that does automatically (although it seems to be a bit unreliable). Maybe someone can extract that part into a library and make a not with it.

That works for desktop but not the voyager app 🫤

Bluesky will be the next Twitter. Just give it some time

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Exactly! All a person has to do is to look around - the right buys up all popular media platforms and converts them to propaganda outlets.

I wish he had mentioned Lemmy, but it's understandable that he didn't. Also Bluesky isn't an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn't stealing so much of our publicity lately.

But beggars can't be choosers, and we have seen some nice growth over the past couple months. John Oliver fans are the perfect candidates to join the fediverse, hopefully some of them find their way to Lemmy.

I'm really not happy about bluesky their fragmentation of the fediverse protocols is only going to harm us in the long run.

Indirectly, looking up "John Oliver Mastodon" brings up this post in the top few. "John Oliver Pixelfed" has this post as the first option

So we're not completely left out :)

[–] anachronology@fedia.io 45 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Agreed, but at least Bluesky is a public benefit corporation, so it supposed to take in the needs of society as well as profit in its decision-making. That may not be much, but it's a start.

Yeah I think it's best we don't advertise this place. It's a little strange.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 140 points 3 days ago (30 children)

Come to Lemmy, we got: blood thirsty Linux users, furries, femboys, communists, and tankies. Also, porn.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago (9 children)

The porn is sadly lacking, actuallly.

I say give it three years and blue sky will just be a neolib twitter

Anybody who supports the definition of liberalism is an ally, imo.

[–] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 30 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah, infighting in the resistance is a waste of time.

Not friendica, which seems an obvious facebook alternative.

Also, I think they're onto something with their fuck it approach that every social media platform would benefit from. The internet was mostly that before. Content moderation primarily serves advertisers, it was never really for the people. Old internet anarchy was chaotic fun.

Really hoping legislators in Sweden don't force Signal to pull its services from the country. 🫣

It's crazy how the wind changed. Does anyone remeber the almost exact same thing 4 years ago, when people on the right side of political spectrum shared alternatives to big tech from their point ov view? GAB.COM, PARLER, BRAVE, DUCKDUCKGO etc

XD

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 54 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Duckduckgo? That's just a search engine, no?

I agree on the rest of the parts tho
