@codybrom i'm kinda hopeful that mainstream social media getting really shitty all at once pushes more people towards federated stuff. lemmy's devs are kinda dickheads, but the federated model still has that promise of permitting us to have more intimate online spaces without the network effect of big tech social media locking us into hellsites simply because that's where everyone else is posting.

i forget the name of hte new alternative to lemmy, not raddle 'cause that one is uninterested in federating. but if that one i'm trying to remember actually has some technical merit that might be worth consdering, if only to not have to deal with "jokes" about shooting anarchists.
