The default nowadays is Discord, especially for online-based communities.

Just because you can break some laws of physics, doesn’t mean you break all laws of physics.

Hydrox could be a detergent, medicine, plumbing brand, pet supplument, video game boss, maybe even a sports drink but NOT a freaking cookie.

These are bad but God forgive the massgrave of uncreativity that is Yotube comments

Gosh I hate award speech edits

I think the most logical placement for a fingerprint scanner is power button>back>bottom screen=on screen

AYE AYE CAPTAIN

1. Buy new phone

3. Hide display cutout

We should have a base 12 metric system but the French already established the 10

Always will call X as Twitter. Same as Meta as Facebook Inc, Microsoft 365 as MS Office, or whatever other companies unnecessarily rebranding themselves these days with their ugly less iconic logos.

I refuse to call it “X”, just call it Twitter.

I don’t know about these workarounds but I remember Win10 has something like “Create for another person” then “I don’t have their info” and it will just let you create a local acocunt. I don’t know about 11 tho

Transmission into submission?

I’m a forever Linux noob currently using Q4OS (Debian-based with TDE/KDE) because it is for a toaster with a small storage and I’m used to Windows.

Yes! Though I learned recently that interactions in, for example, a Misskey post often would not show up if viewed on Mastodon so some accounts would look like lord of the flies but should actually have a lot of comments. Might be different with other platforms but I don’t want to bother migrating

• Basically, Mastodon is a microblogging platform which makes it can be alternative to Twitter or Tumblr.
• Lemmy is a social news aggregator which makes it alternative to Reddit or Digg.
• I haven’t used kbin, but it describes itself as both. So if you like to have both the features of microblogging and content aggregators at the same platform, go try it. Kbin can do this because it and the former two uses ActivityPub, aka they are in the Fediverse so you can see and follow content from each other’s platforms, just presented in the format of the platform you’re in (imagine Twitter posts in your Instagram feed).

I started with Mastodon and I’m new here on Lemmy. I think Reddit alternatives are pretty straightforward in the Fediverse. I’m here at Lemmy because it’s the most obvious what I came for with Reddit.
Meanwhile, Twitter alternatives here are a can of worms. There’s Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Gnusocial, etc. and all of their individual forks, competing with how much “micro” or how much “blogging” each have. Luckily, with Activitypub, content are shared with each other.
