Eh, I've been around the block at this point. Fedora ftw. Simple, easy, GUI installer, "just works"™️, sane package manager, normie default DEs, stable, corporate backing. Maybe not for a purist or enthusiast, but I don't have time for that stuff anymore anyways. My days of pouring hours into getting my Arch install just right are long past me. That was for when I still had free time.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Let's go!

Working on it! Right now, with this huge influx of new users, is a great time to create content that is very search engine friendly. In an effort to promote such content, I started the dance community here on kbin. Please join!

The way to avoid the fediverse suffering the same fate is not to combat extremism with an equivalent amount of antagonistic political dialogue, but to form meaningful communities around non-political topics.

Instead of bickering in circles about politics, join communities dedicated to your hobbies, career, etc.

My primary concern is for the fediverse to generate content that is search engine friendly. Generally, I don't think that political squabbles serve that end.

I'm doing my best to practice what I preach. Check my profile.

This is how Lemmy wins.

Let's be honest. If you haven't broken your bootloader at some point in time, you haven't experienced Linux.

"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."

I can count on one hand the number of billionaires who have died on an experimental submersible touring the wreck of the Titanic.

Nobody looked at the Titan and thought: ahh well, they signed a waiver saying they accepted death was a possibility, there’s no point saving them.

Yeah, this author has obviously never been on the Internet before.

I actually ceased interacting on Reddit personally some time ago, and was just a lurker, using Relay to stay up to date with tech news. This was the last straw to remove the last vestiges of Reddit from my life. I've made a habit of reading HN and subscribing to RSS feeds, so Reddit was redundant anyways.

I think Reddit is a bit unique in the SNS space, since the primary unit of subscription is community (or topic) rather than user, so I think it serves to depersonalize the platform a little bit, and remove some of the power of "Everybody I know is here!"

@Naminreb I wonder if the comparatively higher quality of comments, etc. on this platform is due, in part, to its smaller audience size, meaning that there is a smaller incentive to develop spam bots targeting it.
