Really its just devolving into a fascinating experiment in how much momentum it requires people to leave a platform en masse in 2023.

I used to be adament about gif with a hard G until I had a coworker insist that sudo was pronounced soodoo rather than pseudo. like yeah, I know it stands for sUpEr uSeR dO but you can never get me to not say it the other way.

Ah right! whoops

“Twitter is horrible! For fascists!”

• Some guy still using twitter

old.reddit.com is still kickin it. No talk I’ve heard of to get rid of it yet. The second it’s gone I’m gone.

Well I looked at the meme, and my first thought was “I’m confused” because I didn’t get it. So I guess I’m one of the people that were confused.

Wow I guess I just kind of blocked it out of my memory haha. It for sure was on old in 2017 because old was still new at that point

I don’t know how well lemmy sorts by “level of interaction relative to number of subscribers”. For instance on r/all, you’d see a post with 15 upvotes on r/really-specific-thing-from-the-town-i-live-in-with-500-subs right next to a r/askreddit thread with 30k upvotes. In order to see smaller communities, it seems like I have to be on new or hot, but it never seems to make its way up to active.

Honestly if money has to be a part of it I would rather just pay some instance maintainer a monthly/yearly fee.

Isn’t it just a competition to see who can talk the fastest? I watched a video of it once and it seemed so dumb. It’s like the entire thing is just finding loopholes

Well nothing probably. I think Instagram collects as much as threads does. My point was just that if you’re only on lemmy or mastodon or whatever, you won’t have to worry about the data they’re collecting from their own users.

I’ve seen so many people that want to defederate from Threads because they’re scared it will get their personal data somehow. Just goes to show that not a lot of people understand how this technology works yet. The only data threads will see is the stuff you post publicly.

I still used instagram because I’m basically forced to. It’s the only platform that (almost) all my IRL friends are on. It’s a terrible platform for friends though. All people ever do now is send me stupid fucking reels. Honestly my hot take is that facebook was never as bas as Instagram currently is, but people will never leave.
