It's a social network that people could move to and not be on Facebook. Pixelfed is a fediverse photo sharing thing, a direct competitor (well sort of) to Instagram.

It's also got a lot of prior art on the underlying protocol so they can save money on inventing their own back end.

It also has a preexisting userbase, so even if most people fediblock it they still have some network effects and don't have yo stand it up from nothing.

Lots of reasons.

If there's any point at all it seems to me like Embrace Extend Extinguish, or like what the big firms did with XMPP. Get involved to kill off a rival.

@moderators 4 euros if you change their username to contain a typo

by "doing cryptocurrencty stuff" i just meant making fun of it; i feel like it's kind of dead as a thing anyone's still doing. There's some people still holding the line but i feel like it's over as a thing to bother to make fun of.

Consarnit!!!

I don't even know how to use a Lemmy all I know is it's a postmill clone that uses activity pub under the hood.

If it weren't for advertising, I'd have no idea what products or services to buy!

I see now that you already linked it in your earlier reply. Whoops!

We must destroy the accursed orb.

I understand that what you're looking for is more along the lines of like a feature length YouTube or a book or something but sadly I don't have that. What I do have is a web comic that sums it up pretty well I think:

Can't agree with you here; for some types of work, where the job is doesn't have to be an office. I understand that's kind of fucked up that some people have to do their work at a specific spot and some can do it elsewhere, but I don't think the answer to "some people have bad working conditions" should be "everyone should have equally bad working conditions."

I'm gonna cancel a bunch of business deals with him due to these accusations.

couldn't you put some like splash fruits between two boards attached to springs, then have the boards go off and set off the splashfruits?

I have no paper to write on, every time I need or want to do some algebra I go hunting for an envelope to write on and any pen at all.

I should get a notebook and a decent pen and just use it; I have nothing to use to write.

Vim is a text editor that is kind of hard to get used to but its fans love it to bits

End of an era 😔

We gotta really clean up our act.
