If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

I wish he had mentioned Lemmy, but it's understandable that he didn't. Also Bluesky isn't an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn't stealing so much of our publicity lately.

But beggars can't be choosers, and we have seen some nice growth over the past couple months. John Oliver fans are the perfect candidates to join the fediverse, hopefully some of them find their way to Lemmy.

I'm really not happy about bluesky their fragmentation of the fediverse protocols is only going to harm us in the long run.

Agreed, but at least Bluesky is a public benefit corporation, so it supposed to take in the needs of society as well as profit in its decision-making. That may not be much, but it's a start.

Yeah I think it's best we don't advertise this place. It's a little strange.

Come to Lemmy, we got: blood thirsty Linux users, furries, femboys, communists, and tankies. Also, porn.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (9 children)

The porn is sadly lacking, actuallly.

It's crazy how the wind changed. Does anyone remeber the almost exact same thing 4 years ago, when people on the right side of political spectrum shared alternatives to big tech from their point ov view? GAB.COM, PARLER, BRAVE, DUCKDUCKGO etc

XD

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 55 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Duckduckgo? That's just a search engine, no?

I agree on the rest of the parts tho

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Yeah, odd inclusion. Duckduckgo is indeed a search enginge, but it's essentially just a front end for Bing.

We should have a bot link federated alts for links... 🤔

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is a Firefox extension that does automatically (although it seems to be a bit unreliable). Maybe someone can extract that part into a library and make a not with it.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That works for desktop but not the voyager app 🫤

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 44 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I say give it three years and blue sky will just be a neolib twitter

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My recent experience bluesky social was right wing. I got marked as spam immediately for commenting left wing, polite normal stuff, no arguments or anything controversial. My appeals were ignored for weeks so I left.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 4 points 6 days ago

Interesting info, thank you. It isn't FOSS so I don't plan on actively using it but I try to keep my finger on what's up. I don't miss Reddit and wish I didn't need a FB for my job. My account is almost a ghost though and I don't have it on my phone. I'm sure they still have way too much data on me though.
