Yeah, I don’t know anything about self-hosting, but I’ve recently been working on switching from Windows 10 to Linux and I’ve been really enjoying Kubuntu so far.

A conspiracy is always possible of course, but people really do tend to put off what isn’t an immediate problem until it’s a disaster.

Fukushima springs to mind. The plant had been warned more than a decade before the disaster that an earthquake in the wrong place would result in catastrophe and didn’t do anything about it, and lo and behold…

As an added bonus, you get overt spyware to wear around your neck so it can listen to and log your every conversation.

Lemmy really helped scratch the Reddit itch. I was lucky enough that my app of choice (boost) was also available for Lemmy, so the transition was pretty seamless (actually, more seamless than it would’ve been sticking with Reddit, since I left over the API shit, which would’ve forced me over to their half-baked app).

The only thing I really miss is the sheer volume of users, especially in more niche communities, but the posts on Lemmy imo tend to be more quality over quantity than Reddit, so that helps.
