I’d totally be flagged as AI if I were in academia these days.

You’re right, I should set my expectations now.

Cool, another app I won’t download and will look sideways at whoever does.

If I see its userbase consists of gen z and younger I will be very disappointed.

A cybertruck ate the dingo that ate my baby! This is me spreading hate against Tesla. I’m a terrorist. Fear me!

In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.

If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.

If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

i’m more curious about getting on their venmo friend list.

“hey, it’s uh, vlad. i need 200k for the um, rigging of the midterms in uh, wisconsin. thank you.”

I mostly contribute here, mostly.

(edit: changed it to a relative link instead of a permalink so you can subscribe from other instances)

You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

The Voyager iOS App makes it feel like I never left.

This for-profit social platform will be different guys!

Startup idea: OkCupid but for communes. Matchmake a commune of people together. Can chunks of society go on without these management leeches?

Post links to Lemmy to counter it.

Stop lurking here and post links into communities. Be the change you want to see! If you build it, more will come!

Hm, had no idea this existed/should not have been surprised. Thanks for plugging it!

Actually it’s the left people.

My are there obituaries in the obituaries column?

Customize your feed and/or block whatever you want to filter it, buddy. There’s a Reddit exodus because of American-centered events, so you’re going to see American-centric news and Reddit-bashing stories in some default feeds for a bit. Filter it out and move on.

Right? I don’t care anymore. Let’s just get in the mud with them, fuck it. A cybertruck ate my baby!

I am very interested. I’ll look into that, thank you!

Edit from Fossil: We are no longer selling smartwatches.

Phooey!

If I could get a classic dumb watch with just the ability to vibrate when my phone gets an alert, I’d be soooooo happy.

I still kick myself for not getting one of the first Kindle models that had free 3(4?)G built in.

It was either you or Tildes.

I went with Tildes originally, but their admirable effort to only encourage long-form discussion works against growing a user base to be anything more than a Petri dish; people need those fast dopamine hits!

…that and they’re invite only.
