I couldn’t agree more, stay on big tech if you can’t accept both sides

The nice thing is that whichever you choose, you can still interact with people on either side so I might as well stick around here just cause I’m too lazy to make another account

Im not 100% sure but I believe it’s like its own platform that’s part of the fediverse and is also similar to reddit the same way Lemmy is

Could you elaborate? I’m curious as to what that whole situation is about?

I’m assuming some kind of politics are involved with the stuff I mentioned, but like I said, I’m not sure what’s going on there but the fact I even mentioned it obviously is enough to trigger one side of the little war going on there

It’s honestly heartbreaking considering how much work it must be to write a book and how scary it is especially with so many influencers and celebrities in the market now already making it harder for real authors to get noticed

Do you mean just Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole? Cause I hear some complaints about the ethics of the Lemmy creators and some people are switching to kbin which is still in the fediverse. So I can see people jumping ship to kbin but I already made my Lemmy account and don’t really care to switch at the moment. I’m not entirely sure what the situation with Lemmy creators is anyways

Meta is that annoying little sibling that wants to be a part of everything when nobody wants them around. Except instead of a sibling, it’s more of a disease.

Thank you!

Yeah I feel you there, I thought about trying /e/ OS on murena but I really can’t leave GrapheneOS, microG doesn’t feel as secure as they claim it to be

Have you looked into the teracuve and fairphone smartphones? They actually allow that and are designed for you to easily replace pretty much any part of the phone

I actually just tried creating one but my phone’s being weird (using GrapheneOS on Android" but with my schedule it may be hard to moderate it solo. If you or anyone else who’s interested is down to maybe start a community ourselves I am super down!

I use both startpage and duckduckgo, I use different browsers for different uses. For example: duckduckgo browser for work/professional use, mull for social media, tor for general browsing, I also recently started using MySudo for the same purposes with it’s built in browsers

I’ve reread so many pages and chapters because of this, sometimes even restarted books entirely
