I would like to tell you about LEMMY aka KBIN which is the new "the Mastodon version of Reddit" federated service. I think it's PRETTY NEAT.
First, let me tell you how to get Into Lemmy:
Just go to this website
https://beehaw.org/
and start reading.
That's it! A nice thing about Lemmy is you don't *really* need to be logged in to use it. Since the focus is communities rather than personal feeds you can just click around logged out until you want to comment.
What if you want to comment?
@Helldiver_M it's almost as if the Internet was designed for interoperability using libre/free open source protocols with multiple implementations or something? (Also see: FTP, TCP/IP, DNS, UUCP, SMTP, NNTP, HTTP, IRC, SILC, XMPP, etc. It's not just ActivityPub/Mastodon/snac/etc.) @mcc
Anyways, enjoy! Many of us will keep doing what we've always been doing hopefully more will see the light and stop trying to create walled garden fiefdoms which only provide profits for a few, eventually.
Maybe one day, we'll even figure out wealth redistribution and eliminate starvation and homelessness and problems in the real world which are arguably, a lot more important than anything the so-called "tech bros" have ever provided?
It's good to have goals.
