This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!

For Wumbo?

Honestly I think this is probably one of the many secrets to long-term happiness. Ignorance is bliss, as they say

I remember being 13-15 and not caring at all what the news was. Better times, I think

The bubbles help with that extra clean feel

I use a hybrid. If I’m typing with both hands, and I need to be speedy I’ll typically use regular typing, but if I’m just causally typing stuff out or only have one hand I’ll use swipe. I like having the option

Most of my friends jumped off Reddit and onto Kbin/Lemmy for the week of the blackout. I think most of them are using some hybrid of Lemmy/Reddit now. I’m the only person I know that moved exclusively to Kbin, but that’s okay. It fills the same hole that reddit did, I don’t much care if other people I know do or do not join tbh

I recently gave up my 6t for a Pixel7 and it was the worst decision I’d made in awhile. I miss it so much, but the newer OP phones just aren’t any good from what I’ve been reading.

It doesn’t work for everything though. Having a self hosted account that wasn’t tied to any specific platform or instance would ideally allow you to have access to PeerTube and BookWyrm as well as Mastodon and Kbin, without having to worry about your instance shuttering and all of your posts and comments disappearing. I’ve also been really stewing on this idea, I think it’s a probable future state of the Fediverse

If a screen name is an identifier doesn’t that make literally every social website or forum a potential breach? That seems a bit harsh

Is it really so surprising? They have the entire Instagram userbase to feed off of. All the Instagram users have to do is open Threads and they are already a user. The userbase was already there, Meta just had to activate it.

I think for this same reason Threads probably will stick around. Especially with the way Twitter is going. Can’t say I’ll be joining in on the fun though

Wow this is a great read! I definitely see promise for the described system in the direction we are heading
