Sounds about right

Definitely not. I’m thankful that the internet exists and that I have real friends on it. I also have IRL friends, but I’m less close to them and they feel more shallow than my internet ones

Not to mention that it’s not very user friendly, none of the clients are designed to be as nice and user friendly as Discord’s

Who was this a surprise to exactly?

Well I got banned off Reddit for no reason, but I think it was using a VPN. I was also in the process of trying to degoogle and increase privacy, so I figured Lemmy was the best option to solve getting banned off reddit and increasing privacy

That’s disappointing. I wanted to just have one account for using both and assumed federation would let me, but that doesn’t seem to be the case :(

Main issue with osmand and comaps is that neither have integrated live public transport data even though the api for that in most cities is free. I feel this could be a really good feature but it hasn’t been touched by any open source map project yet for some reason

Glad to see Sydney prioritising people over cars in the city yet again, glad that they’ve been going down that path since the light rail opened and took cars off George st

Used to mod a somewhat big sub (500k members) before getting banned off the platform and they can’t. I think it was the admins/bots flagging accounts as “ban evasion” or removing posts due to their filters and sending them to the queue, where some shitty mods just ban the account if it gets falsely flagged frequently

True but a communist/socialist system isn’t really possible in the world mostly thanks to the fundamental human nature of greed and power over others

i’d be glad if it did honestly

Fascism is still capitalist and the two co exist. Capitalism to put it simply is an economic system and fascism is an ideology after all.

Took the name I use everywhere online, put an _, and chose the lowest number I could, which I do on basically every platform

I tried that and they STILL got me. I was also using a friend’s self hosted vpn so it’s not even my vpn getting flagged, i dont know how they do it

Thanks and yeah im liking it here so i’ll probably stay

Just letting you know the reason why a man can’t support a family on one income is thanks to the never ending greed of companies, who have made it so real wages have fallen for decades as they increase them so little that they don’t even match inflation

They’re hard if not impossible to discover these days, also most people will join and stay on social platforms where everyone they know are. For example, all my friends use Discord so it’d be social suicide to leave the platform because i’m cutting off my connection to my friends.

Hit the nail on the head. This is something the majority can agree with, that the elite are exploiting us all for their gain no matter who we are. Man, woman, lgbtq, whatever, the elite exploits them all and left wing parties should be promoting this.

I manage to forget my passwords even though they were in my password manager 😭
