Touché

Why do we care? If you don’t like it, don’t use it. That’s the beauty of the fediverse. You can hop instances and lose basically nothing.

If someone wants to act in an unbecoming way, they have a right to provided it isn’t breaking the law.

Hexbear!

People on here are hardly saints lol. I had several people wishing for my death as well as some guy following me around

No, the issue with reddit is the lack of openness and chokehold spez has on it. Lemmy is free.

Apps like summit and Jerboa are nice and smooth. It depends on the frontend entirely

Don’t sell them on the fediverse. Sell them on a particular instance. It’s a LOT less intimidating and they’ll still be interacting with fediverse content.

Except they’re not Nazis. Hexbear’ians at least know how to be funny tankies

Hexbear users are the funniest people on the platform

It’s easier just recommending the distro rather than Linux in general.

I know someone who was starting to dislike windows, I sent them the Linux mint site. Had a much more positive interaction compared to when I had just previously said “what about using Linux?”

I actually think this is a similar way to push the fediverse. Just recommend a good instance instead of trying to sell them on federated technology. The federated technology will show them content and “how does this actually work” could be a conversation for later.

I use ubuntu and I don’t think I ever read docs

Actually, I had to remove snap once.

Granted, I am and was familiar with the basics of linux due to having a raspberry pi.

This trick also works

Production? That’s just our pool of thousands of testers who pay for the privilege!

Everyone arguing about the amount of keypresses to type a shutdown command and time it takes to shutdown… I just power it off at the wall. One button press, shutdown is near instantaneous

Federating nsfw can bear legal issues. Although I believe Feddit.UK has entirely disabled access to NSFW

I don’t know if this is better or worse. I do like the selectivity of it, though, where you’re free to join or privately defederate instances

Linux from scratch

Ah, so time got misread for t.me?

What’s up with the NYT?
