Oh didn't know about piped. Looks good!

We disagree with eachother for sure. I'm also about your age, and I havent seen any platform become big without also becoming user hostile. Google, Youtube, Reddit, Meta, you name it.

It seems that you believe that just because Lemmy is federated, it will be able to not be affected by Threads and it's users. We will see. I doubt it.

Ads are horrible and always ruins the experience severely, since there are never enough ads on a page for the producer to be happy.

I'm not against being a subscriber but I only do that for services that are extreamly useful, like search and email.

The point of Lemmy as a federated platform is that the cost is shared between many people. If hundreds of instance admins pay 10 dollars per month, it's easily manageable. But if one instance becomes huge and needs to pay 10000 dollars per month, there is an issue for that instance, not the Lemmy network.

You can probably also delete them directly in the instance database with simple sql. Unless there are dependencies that will cascade delete things that are not wanted. :)

Very nice tool, will use this for sure. I prefer command line also, so much faster.

I would if it was another company than Google but I'm not going to support big tech companies with my money.

Google is tracking people all over the internet, and is one of the richest companies in the world. Now they want to get even more money? Right.

I'm paying for email and search but they are not from big tech.

They are not duplicated (just the same name) and it's not impossible to subscribe to them all with a few clicks.

Use https://lemmyverse.net/communities and simply search for communities and subscribe to them.

I expected the mug to have slack on it as well :)

But yeah, it's been quite a ride. I mean Linux in general has evolved so much over the years. My first test of Linux was from some floppy disk supplied by a magazine when I was a kid. These days I only use Linux since about 10 years back or so.

It's literally the only way to get away from big tech today.

Kagi is not only decent but much better. It's fantastic. I switched when it was new and never looked back.

Try a few searches with both Kagi and Google and you should see quite different results.

People still use Google? I thought many of us, and specially in tech using platforms like this, left it behind years ago. But maybe not as many as I think.

"Enemies of Democracy" :) That's a nice one. I want the membership card!

People who hurt animals or tease them to annoy them to get a good laugh. If I'm ever in a situation weather to save the animal or that person, the person does not get saved.

I find the lack of responses disturbing. :)

You must be like all other trans people or we can't put a label on you. Didn't you get the memo sent out from Trans Headquarters?

I said this in another post and i got accused of thinking I'm better than someone who watches celebs.

:)

I think the reason is something much bigger than the American election. Just not sure what yet.

The election is rigged anyway. Choose between turd and asshole, both of which are selected by the establishment.

Until people can vote with cryptographically safe identity control, there is no reason to trust manual vote counting in my opinion.

Yes but why are we ok with that?

Why is it normal to have a giant American ad company know everything about your life, and billions of others?

Its not normal at all. We just got used to the status quo.

Many people associate this company with "the internet" even. It's sick.

Dream Job is such a funny phrase.

I think most of us don't want to work at all.

Because you are trading your actual life for monopoly money that goes to paying for existing. This system we have is awful. I could go on but... I don't want to think about it since there is no solution.

... No.

Nice to hear someone say the truth. People keep recommending it but I had nothing but trouble. My girlfriend tried it also and had ton of weird bugs, like couldn't copy paste from Firefox and other super weird things going on.

She installed Pop OS and now she loves Linux. Never any issues whatsoever.
