Might as well carry on as usual. I like to think nothing changed and we just moved.

The community is thousands of times more important than where it happens to be.

I never considered going back. Lemmy is forward. More power to the users and the community and less from greedy shareholders. This is the way.

It’s like a warm, beautiful sunset.

Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!

REDDIT WHO!?

EXACTLY!

LEMMY’S GOT TECHIES, IT’S GOT TREKKIES, IT’S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN’T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!

Lemmy and Reddit promote engagement, discourse and even arguments… ok, especially arguments.

Mastodon feels like a list of billboards that I am disconnected from.

“Oh, that’s news”

But no one talks between eachother about anything. I almost feel like the nature of the layout of Twitter and it’s alternatives are almost by design to make the users a little more self serving.

Mastodon has every user standing on a soapbox yelling at crowds, Lemmy is more of a public forum.

They replaced him at some point, I’ve been told. The story changes. Sometimes they’re changing him as we speak.

Dementia.

MX Linux.

Debian with perks.

I use SearXNG. They search Google anonymously. I also like the layout better. Less bullshit. Straight to the content.

Twitter isn’t important and federated social media will replace it to a point that it won’t be anything more than a footnote in twenty years, or an unfortunate hurdle that was overcome as the internet matured.

Let’s shake our fingers harder.

Kodi and Real Debrid. Once it’s set up, you’ll just find content and watch it.

I would say Plex and overseer or Jellyfin and jellyseer but that still depends on you’re personally able to source and will limit you to free trackers.

Debrid is kind of a one stop shop even if it does cost a bit each month.

Still using zlib with tor.

MX Linux.

Imagine Linux Mint Debian edition, but it isn’t green and there are a lot of useful GUI tools. It’s also so near to actually being Debian that you can just install things meant for Debian on it. It also runs a backported kernel for modern graphics driver and chipset support so you get your stability and your performance all in one.

Those are cats, dumbass. They eat meat!

2025

“Alright welcome to SGDQ 2025, first up is Tears of the Kingdom any%. For anyone wondering, were using the uhh, 1.0 version of the game as it allows item duping uhh yeah.”

Politics isn’t first in my family. Never has been. Never will be if I ever have anything to say about it. Being vocal on one side invites the other, almost like a dare.

My cousin, who is libertarian knows I’m a socialist and as left as a Canadian steering wheel. We debate every now and again.

My mom is a tried and true, yee haw, old money, 1980’s Ronald Regan Republican, but she thought Obama was handsome and voted for him. She hates Trump, and thinks Biden isn’t real, or… does and changes her mind from time to time. It’s complicated.

If she gives me shit, I dig out the four-page print off of Republican senators and congressmen trapped in legal battles and start narrating.

You can have multis, and you can subscribe to multiples at once.

I have about twenty different gaming subs on all different servers subscribed, so I’ll see any one of them in my feed.

Does it matter which one posted what I’m looking at?

Not really.
