The only problem I have with x alternatives currently (both Bluesky and Mastodon) is that my favourite r34 artists havent really switched plattforms :(
You should check. I’ve been surprised by the amount of “suggested accounts” on bluesky that were people I lost track of when quitting twitter.
Btw, Rule34-xxx is superior.
In levels of racism, misogyny, prejudice, X is on the same level as 9Gag
So true. Two years ago I still used twitter for nsfw content, but even that got weird (and really suspicious sometimes).
This is why we can’t have nice things.
I keep it to quickly check service outages.
Xbox, crunchy, Netflix, etc down? Check Twitter. If a bunch of people are talking about it. It’s down. If not then it’s probably a local thing with my ISP.
Downdetector?
Unreliable. Bad UI.
I’d argue its more reliable than twitter, but whatever.
It may be. But twitter gives immediate no questions asked results.
You can just bing: is ______ down right now?
I could. But my system works.
And supports fascism.
It’s called Twix
For Lemmy just replace racism with unsolicited Linux advice
We are racists when it comes to operating systems. No windows allowed at home.
Maybe we need a term for this. What do the gender focused Lemmy crowd think is a good term for not accepting windows.
Windophobic?
Do you even Arch?
I find Arch to be too much bloat.
I prefer something really lightweight that only runs notepat
Bloat I only use Butterfly to manually flip electorn and stream output directly into my brain.
I’d rather have the unsolicited linux advice tbh
but anyways that’s not super relevant because there very much is still racism on lemmy…
Yeah but I see a racist comment like once a week. You don’t have to spend long on Twitter to find that shit.
It usually takes about 8 seconds.
What did Linux do to you?
He probably ran btrfs with raid 5
without backupsRookie mistake
Bedrock Linux is pretty cool (I am not going to say ar*h btw)
Are the rumours about Arch being too hard true? If someone’s experienced with Debian and Fedora, will they find Arch too hard?
Ime, not really. It feels daunting the first time, but the installation guide on the wiki is actually really good at holding your hand through it.
Just be careful not to skip any sections
Plus now there’s an installation script that is really good for basic installs. Takes about 10 minutes now.
basically me, but there opposite when Musky Husky took over:
“Urgh. Racism in my porn app?”
I never understood people posting porn to microblogging sites. What’s the point of this? There are literally millions of other places to get porn already, it’s like what the Internet was invented for.
But how else will you hear about all the little details of their daily lives on a regular porn site? The parasocial connections to your favorite porn stars aren’t gonna form all by themselves!
You joke but the sad thing is that this is how OF content creators drum up the most business. They prey on giving lonely/intimacy challenged people some sort of subconscious feeling of hope and connection to someone else inside a screen. Why else would you pay for prawn? It’s literally free all over the internet.
Ant platform where you can share images will inevitably be used for porn
The entomologists will not be happy about their ant plantform being used for porn
What is this, a platform for ants?!
A few of them will, but we don’t talk about those…
i thought it was just women promoting their onlyfans like they do on Reddit and really any social media
It’s usually there so people seek out the only fans / subscription content. Additionally for general exposure (ha!), likes and followers.
Yeah in that context I guess it makes sense.
I’ve read that it used to be a great place for really niche stuff. BUT your point still stands because I’m really not sure why that would be. Maybe the interface or something lent itself to that well or maybe it just hit the right moment and took off.
I think it’s because of the advertising system. Once you stumble onto one of them, you get the “content makers” retweeting eachother. It doesn’t cost them a dime to retweet someone else’s post, and if you retweet, you’re gonna get retweeted.
I’m still convinced there are some women I know that have/had an only fans (because of sudden changes to living quality without job promotions or other new sources of income). But this system also benefits them, if it is niche stuff like feet for instance, you’ll never find them, and you’ll never know it if you did. If it’s “normal stuff” (good luck getting me to define that, I have no fucking clue anymore) most “content makers” hide their identities pretty well, and I’d bet money that there are unspoken agreements between them to assist in keeping it that way.
Heh. You think feet are niche.
Drag is waiting for the day Lemmy users learn about dolls. It’ll blow their minds.
Ok
