So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.

I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

    It’s easy to be condescending when I am better (if you take this serious, you make my day)

    You could lie about your profession, but let’s say you’re a doctor. Then you’re quite great at everything that the human body is about. Viruses, medicine, etc. You also need to be quite good against stress and be able to withhold a lot of information. Likely take drugs while doing exams.

    Lawyer, that’s great. You’re a bureaucrat that does the work of the governments. You make it so that national and international law is utilised correctly.

    Astronaut… idk shit bout that

    Actor. Oi, you’re the opposite of transparency, bad… bad

    Ah so because I say Lemmy is a left wing echo chamber, I cannot be a leftist?

    Is it not allowed for leftists to criticise their own?

    When you try to validate an institution’s information might be correct. A good question to pose is: what were you wrong about?

    If they give you an immense amount of info, then that’s brilliant.

    If they say that they never were wrong (hello .LM), then well… I’d take my distance.

    I mean, don’t worry, being an accountant isn’t really that difficult. Nobody really wants to do it. Boring to a lot of people. But I find it interesting, as you can see.
