And all the comments are about how hard fedi and mastadon are :(
Skill issue.
I haven’t tried mastadon but I can’t imagine it’s harder than lemmy. Plus they already would have more established apps.
The problem I have with Mastodon is you need people to get people. And if the people I personally know and follow just aren’t there, I don’t… have fun there. Lemmy is much easier because it doesn’t depend on personal people, but just communities. So even if there are few people, that’s still easy to get more people there because it doesn’t rely on many specific ones.
Totally. Microblogging (twitter alternatives) have a much harder task because they depend on the right users. Especially famous/influential people. Post aggregators (Reddit alternatives) don’t have that constraint.
Yeah I’ve been trying to fill out my Mastodon by doing tons of research and guides on who to follow, which kinda sucks anyways, but my feed is still empty except for a handful of accounts. Wired is active, so I’m basically just looking at a link aggregate of Wired articles. Might as well just go to wired.com
Agreed. It took me a few tries to get into Mastodon. What helped me was discovering that I could follow hashtags of topics that interest me. That opened the door to interesting people to follow.
Mmm this isn’t entirely right. People are encouraged to follow hashtags to find people. It actually works very well.
Yep… I wasn’t ever much into Twitter, I have no “Influencers” or whatever I follow that I could then follow on Mastodon… I found it really hard to find any content that was interesting to me.
Lemmy on the other hand, I find it really easy to find Communities I am interested in
If you’re looking for a good middle ground, maybe kbin will be more your speed? It’s compatible with both Lemmy and Mastodon. So even if you don’t have the right Mastodon users to follow, you can still get content via Lemmy.
Mastodon is just as easy as twitter, lemmy is harder than mastodon and it’s not hard
I wouldn’t say it’s as easy at Twitter. Twitter has an algorithm so you can be lazy. Mastadon requires that you actually go find the stuff that you want to see. The upside is that Mastadon doesn’t waste your time with a bunch of garbage that “tHe AlGoRiThM” forces in front of you: it just gives you exactly what you asked for, instead. But you can’t brainlessly scroll for hours with zero input the way you can with Twitter.
some people still watch television and they don’t think that’s a bad thing
So my experience with Mastodon so far has been I tried it out last year, thought man there ain’t shit here, then deleted my account. Giving it another go this time around and realized you gotta follow hashtags and accounts to actually see what you want. I’m still more of a fan of Lemmy, but Mastodon gets better once it’s set up.
imo mastodon is easier just because the software’s more mature
The “hard” part was deciding on an instance.
Based and “just read a little bit”-pilled.
Mfs can’t take 5 minutes god damn.
I swear, many people are completely digitally illiterate despite being on the internet every day. Even choosing a server is already too hard for them.
That’s all I see people complain about.
If we can do that here, surely it can’t be that hard to just pick a server on there and follow people, right?
I don’t expect everyone to be a coding wizard, I’m certainly not, but how are so many people still so tech illiterate in this modern day that what essentially boils down to picking an email host is considered difficult??
when was the last time you met someone with an email account that wasn’t gmail?
… for most people that is their only email too.
is your pfp for cortex or HI? i can never remember which since it’s not too frequently used 😅
If they admit its not that complicated then they have no excuse for not switching and have to accept that they’re perfectly happy suckling on the poisoned teat of these platforms and don’t actually want to leave
My issue is there’s just not enough content yet. I mostly only used Twitter to engage with wrestling fans (for better or worse), but on Mastodon there seems to be less than 10 wrestling fans total.
I bet the ten of you could make a community worth joining. That’s a time commitment though. Could just 9ost stuff from reddit for now to build the community.
Without any actual wrestlers or wrestling journalists on mastodon (which I am neither), there’s not much that could be done to build a community. Plus, I don’t have the time or energy to moderate a community. Plus, posting stuff “from Reddit” kinda violates the whole point of, you know, not using Reddit.
I miss being on the same platform as all these creators. I hope they come to the fediverse someday cause I ain’t leaving.
They will, but only once Threads adds ActivityPub 😑
Except lemmy servers are defederating Threads. The fragmentation of the fediverse defeats the purpose of the whole thing.
I don’t want to see threads content on Lemmy anyways. They’re different platforms for different things. I didn’t go on reddit for twitter posts either.
I’m begging the creators I know to at least do double duty on the Fediverse (Mastodon, Misskey, etc.) besides Twitter even if they can’t leave it now.
If they’re smaller creators or fan friendly, maybe someone could reach out to them to help get them set up? More audience for them is good, and if they think they’ll get value out of being here they’ll create accounts.
Is pizzacake on Lemmy?
Don’t think so but maybe someday.
Would be nice wouldn’t it. Alas I don’t think so
no, its not better. i cant believe how many idiots are falling for this
Less featureful, terrible violation of privacy, no way to easily delete just threads, gives a known bad actor a strong foothold…
What could go wrong?
But it makes musk mad
Why not neither of them?
Ok but can we not depict a Jewish person as a lizard person. Lizard people are an antisemitic conspiracy
Go clutch your pearls on threads.
The “reptilian conspiracy theory” has nothing to do with Jews. Please don’t create antisemitism and stuff where there is none
You’re wrong though. The Rothschilds are part of the conspiracy and they are jewish. It’s in the wiki you linked there.
“He contends that most of the world’s ancient and modern leaders are related to these reptilians, including the Merovingian dynasty, the Rothschilds, the Bush family and the British Royal family.[22]”
How do you translate this to being a conspiracy about Jews specifically?
It’s not specifically about that, but I still see where they’re coming from. When you keep talking to conspiracy theorists they always bring up the Jews eventually. This means that a lot of conspiracy theories that don’t explicitly have anything specific to do with Jews (like 9/11 being faked, to name an example) to still be strongly tied to antisemitism.
Wow, that is a cherry-picked example if I’ve ever seen one. The Rothschilds are mentioned exactly once on this page and it’s in this sentence:
“He [David Icke] contends that most of the world’s ancient and modern leaders are related to these reptilians, including the Merovingian dynasty, the Rothschilds, the Bush family and the British Royal family.”
Including the Rothschilds, as well as several other non-Jewish families. The Rothschilds are part of the conspiracy not because they’re Jewish, but because they’re influential.
While I’m with you on that, I am definitely getting more of a “sneaky snake” vibe from this comic, personally.
Fair, maybe I’m just being a bit over cautious here as I’ve noticed a huge rise in antisemitism over the past year or so and would rather err on the side of not risking coming off as such
I definitely don’t blame you for that. Dogwhistles come with that little bit of plausible deniability so it’s impossible to draw a hard line on this type of thing.
That’s fair and I’ve sadly noticed it too. I’ve recently learned what triple brackets mean.
I still see lizard people as like a crazy molemen theory or bigfoot, not Jewish people. I think the response in this thread shows the majority of people, even those quite online, don’t see that connotation to it either and bringing attention to it could make it worse.
I never made that connection. I thought it was just because he’s an emotionless alien?
deleted by creator
He shouldn’t be immune to criticism. He’s weird and has done immense damage to society. I just am capable of saying that without defaulting to tropes associated with antisemitism.
Lol its kind of funny you’re surprised someone with the name Zuckerberg is Jewish.
Criticisms are totally valid. But maybe avoiding racial ones is a good idea.
Oh fuck. I always thought Zuck=Lizard person stemmed from the complete lack of emotion in his face. And all the other billionaire stereotype shit. Didnt make the antisemitism connection until now.
It’s clear that he is portrayed as a snake (did you read his text bubble?)
Jewish or not, he absolutely is a snake. I don’t think anyone but you made the connection: Zuckeberg -> Jewish -> lizard.
Literally never made that connection.
To be honest, I kinda always prefered Robo-Zucc.
Him being a Lizard gives him too much credit.
While I do agree with that, I don’t think that’s relevant in this case. Most people don’t even know mark is Jewish. Hell I didn’t know that until last week or so. I believe the joke here is that Mark just behaves like an alien pretending to be human. Hence the lizard people conspiracy meme.
I got excited for a minute. I thought PizzaCake joined Lemmy.
I don’t care if she joins or not, but I really want the people that edit her comics to be funny to come to Lemmy.
Where are the Ben Garrison cum edits?? That’s what I need here.
With no “foot-post” restrictions, can only be a matter of time
I think we’d be reading a different comic if that were true.
I’m on mastodon I’m good thanks.
This but unironically.
Good luck
Kinda weird to post this on Lemmy
I’m not the artist, and I thought pretty much anything goes in this community?
