I'm launching a new social media app. It's called BIRB. This is the logo. It's the only app that demands you crochet, knit or embroider your posts.
Posts are called 'Yarns', editing a Yarn is called Darning, threads are called Tapestries, pile-ons are Shag Piles, blocking is called Black-Sheeping.

In today's remarkable right-wing self-own, crazy, COVID-minimizing, MAGA Laura Loomer admits to having Long #COVID19 without realizing it.
Well, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false

Another great interview with @christianselig re: the whole #RedditMeltdown #RedditBlackout

I’d love to eventually see Christian develop an app for #Lemmy or #Kbin. A good mobile app could really help those communities grow, and unlike Reddit, they aren’t centrally controlled by corporations and tech bros. #FederationIsTheFuture #MakeTheWebGreatAgain

@jasonnab I've been thinking about community-only/no-user lemmy instances all day. A lot of companies that would normally self-host a tech support user forum could spin up a lemmy server instead. People wouldn't need to register to ask questions, and new feature announcement posts would get federated.

I'd like to run a #kbin or #lemmy instance specifically to make fediverse friendly communities based on some niche subreddits I interact with.
I would only allow posting in the communities, but no signups for the instance itself; people can simply sign up elsewhere and comment as needed through federation.

Does this sound like a good idea? Is this viable/would it work? Is there a better way? Should I make those communities on existing instances (.ml is overloaded tho)?

@arstechnica I highly recommend any redditors who feel passionately about freedom and open source migrate to the #fediverse “Lemmy” link aggregator platform instead of Reddit. I made my account on the https://infosec.pub and it has been super stable and fast even browsing external #lemmy instances.

If you don’t know what Lemmy is checkout the attached diagram made by @[email protected]

No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.

Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.

Beehaw.org appears to be down at the moment
