Damn great username btw 👌

Maybe? But it’s not like that’s the only alternative thing to say, lol

Lie. Or at best, dangerously wrong. Like saying “Crosswalks make cars incapable of harming pedestrians who stay within them.”

No podium finish for them :(

Hell yeah monetized validation! 🤲

I believe it predates Lemmy and isn’t particularly associated with it. I would endorse adopting it either formally or informally, though.

DM: Instead of leaves, the forest is covered in what appears to be goose down.

Have an updoot anyway, for good vibes.

WIN AT ALL COSTS

3.5 is still reasonably useful for the same reasons you described, imo… Just less so.

Damn that’s wholesome.

FWIW, WeChat and 微信 are different apps. With a non-Chinese phone number and Google Play Store download, you’ll be using the international one (WeChat) instead of the Chinese one (微信). There are still privacy concerns, but it’ll be less invasive than what you’d have with the version that people in China are buying their groceries with and stuff.

I’m sorry I don’t have advice for how to actually protect yourself, though… I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread to see what I can learn.

The title still works if you remove the word “scraping,” too. (I mean, except grammatically)

See? There’s something for everybody on Lemmy!

Lemmy is great in the same ways (and better in some) in principle, it’s just a scale thing that makes it more difficult to obtain that “build your own experience” effect like Reddit has. There just aren’t enough people right now to support the super idiosyncratic stream of content that you can curate with Reddit.

My advice is to just lean into it. Start with Ubuntu or Mint, queue up The Next Generation season 1 on your Jellyfin server, and keep contributing.

Piped: piped.video Invidious: yewtu.be

Those would be good places to start, if you still want YouTube content without the YouTube front-end.

Yes. I noticed my Discord problems uptick sharply when I uninstalled the creepy invasive desktop app and started only using it in the browser. Element just sometimes fails to upload a file or something, but it’s pretty stable for me lately.

Heh “Join the Tailchat Discord.”

Yeah, I use Element daily and I’m pretty happy with it. I have far more problems these days with Discord than with Element/Matrix.
