I have not heard that name in a long time. Throwback to the days of installing ROMs and rooting my Moto X. Felt like a good time for Android.

All I want is just good hardware reviews, the rest is noise...

Wow checking out the site now, Calckey/Firefish looks great. Is this meant to be another Fediverse replacement for Twitter?

On the other hand, if you told me 8 years ago that a former president would be charged with racketeering, I don't know who wouldn't be surprised.

This is where the system of Favorite and Reduce comes in. Same concept on Reddit with upvotes and downvotes. Hopefully the community will help to filter out the noise, but again, history tends to repeat itself.

What are the chances he's elected and making all the cases go away?

Yes we should remember to get out and vote! Don't get complacent.

That's a little more comforting to hear. If you commit a crime, you shouldn't be able to get away with it. Still don't like the fact that it's still possible...

Agreed. I think one of the main deciding factors starting out here was the availability of mobile apps. Seems Lemmy already has a handful while kbin only has the mobile web for now and an application is only in a closed beta at the moment.

This goes for anyone in the fediverse, not just lemmy users. I am on kbin which may not have as much options as lemmy to migrate to, but I will also be looking out for instances that match my interests more.

It really did have the perfect form. No other phone has really matched the feel really.

So fully explaining how these systems work will be a huge project that humanity is unlikely to complete any time soon.

Great read. This quote really stuck out to me and gave me chills. Reading about AI is so fascinating. Feels like we're on the cusp of something big.

So did lemmy win? Did kbin win? The crossposting makes me wonder which platform I should be moving over to, but both are in the Fediverse so I also wonder if we should all just refer to it as fedi or something...

I read the title wrong and missed the last word, phew.

Also on kbin.social here, but sometimes I feel like an outside observer when I see threads that are from lemmy. But that may just be a side effect of all the platforms being connected through the same software which is the Fediverse or ActivityPub.

It works fine in the browser, so I wonder what an app would achieve.

The more exposure the better (for better or worse). As the fediverse grows we gotta watch for the growing pains of becoming a large social media platform.

Been waiting for the main instance to start up! Thanks for this guide.

While it is exciting, I can see both sides of the argument here. The infrastructure here in the US is built around cars so it would be much less effort to automate the existing infrastructure. On the other hand, things could be so much more efficient if we focused on trains and other public transport that excels at transporting a large amount of people. But that would take so much more effort and money to update the infrastructure.

Neat, so yams in the US refer to a sweet potato? Slightly related, but can you also explain the difference between Ube and Taro? I've had this conversation with my friends as well.

People feel really empowered with the anonymity of the internet...

Thanks for this! Not sure why I never actually bothered to look into other kbin instances.

I wish kbin had other instances....
Easy to find a lot for Mastodon however. Is there a migration guide to transfer accounts somewhere?

MySpace...that's a name I haven't heard muttered in years...

Thanks for sharing! There is also a video that covers Outlook
Though I also found this variant better for my needs.

I'd argue conspiracies have always been trending for more than a few years now, it's just they've reached mainstream now. If you're in the US they have definitely been a major part of the political culture here and is one of the reasons there is so much distrust in any authority. Sad to see though.

Sweet, looking forward to watching Gravity again.

This is cool though. But NASA+ just sounds like they are copying Disney+.
