I remember finding out about lemy a while back but i never really came, but now i understand the importance of this place. there are these mindflayers, these tentacle gorgon beings that want to put their version of the story into everything. they are afraid of upvotes that decide themselves. remember aaron? he was the original luigi.
dear lemians, we need to advertise this website, based on our free love of free information towards sabachtan gnosis. this isn’t just another website, this is the religion of freedom.
let’s make it happen, from a cyberpunk past to a solarpunk future.
ps holy smack this website has “avesta” as a language. that is pure dopeness.

I usually just point to https://piefed.zip/ , it avoids https://lawsofux.com/choice-overload/
piefed.zip + summit has been a great combo for me
We need portable identities first

People care about their identity on Reddit? I always used it as a sort-of anonymous forum, except with usernames, less likelihood to get told rancid things than on a truly anonymous platform with no accounts to ban, and if you were reading some original stories on Reddit you could recognize the author’s name.
Instagram was something I used under my real name to keep up with real life friends, so yeah I care about my identity there, but I’m aware some people use it less as a real life social media and more as a content platform.
Turned up my nose at TikTok, which has proven to be the correct option for online approval years after I made the decision to ignore it.
You mean porting ones account from one instance to another? With all the data? to be honest, since lemmy is way more open a scraper could be developed for this purpose by anyone (using the lemmy api). Because of this lemmy accounts are already more portable than a reddit account.
That could is doing so much heavy lifting its on it’s way to win Mister Universe.
Whenever I see a “free” service advertised, I wonder how they’re paying for the ad if the service is free.
I know that take is simplistic and cynical, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that way, so I just want to make you aware of a problem.
Donations in lemmys case https://join-lemmy.org/donate that link is visible on the main page, will people find it?
ahem We’re not Lemians, we’re Lemmings, thank you very much.
It’s much more amusing and self-aware.
Lemmings can be quite aggressive animals, even towards humans, according to wikipedia. Perfect.
