I’m neither American, European, Russian, nor Chinese, and have no clear vested interest in any if them. Seeing how Americans view China as the “big evil” from the outside is just mind-boggling. Most of the bad stuff you think China did, they didn’t. Some of the terrible stuff they did, the US did as well. They do have a bad side that the US doesn’t have, but the US does some things worse than China.

Now its easy for the naive to just reply “whataboutism” to my comment and move on. But what I’m trying to say is that the world isn’t black and white. The US isn’t the “good guys”, no one is. Take a look at some communities on Lemmygrad. You might change some of your views.

And because things are so chaotic, scammers are going to have a field day with this one.

Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

If you’re still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.

Though if Twitter goes under, I’m sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren’t a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.

I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it’s the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.

RiF still works, but without logging in. NSFW used to work up until yesterday. A couple of third-party apps still have complete access as well.

Lemmy still has many issues preventing it from becoming useable by the average zero-tech knowledge user right now. The way the federation works can still use some work to become more user friendly, the mobile apps need some time to mature, and the servers are getting overloaded.

So realistically, the best case scenario is for Lemmy to hold a considerable amount of users, enough to keep some instances active. That way, the next time Reddit fucks up (and it will happen soon enough), Lemmy will be a viable alternative by then.

So yeah, this isn’t the great migration. The technology just wasn’t ready.

I’m talking about privacy and freedom respecting services going out of their way to submit to western politics. I like my services unbiased.

Fucking hell Mozilla. First DuckDuckGo, now Firefox. And Brave still refuses to pull its head out of its ass to be a viable alternative. The Fediverse continues to prove that it is the future for people like us, fuck corporations.
