I only wish it was easier for me to find people to follow, really wish more people I knew IRL joined PixelFed

Been wanting to make one of these so bad, anyone know of a goode guide that a beginner can follow along?

This looks like a spot I delivered to by Loveland, CO, not sure if that's same spot tho lol

JavaScript off by default ftw

I'm in the same boat. But as time passes I figure if I keep telling myself it's too late instead of just doing it, I'll regret it so much later on life. Because what I'll gain from it at this age, I will be so proud of when it's all said and done

Never say never, maybe a scout is watching us to recruit us as we speak. Then we will finally know

Just one, I'm glad I'm able to interact with all instances from this account, I think if I felt I had to make so many accounts I'd get overwhelmed and quit lemmy

Other day a cashier rang me up and instead of saying thank you I said "no problem's ._.

A true hero

I convinced my girlfriend to get telegram, not my preference but much better than anything Facebook related

I honestly love Lemmy and the fediverse in general right now. Ever since I watched The Social Dillema or whatever on Netflix I hate doing anything on big tech social media. I feel like I'm being manipulated all the time and it makes me not wanna use the sites. But here, I just love reading everyone's post knowing that these are things I subscribed to see and is not some part of an algorithm to keep my attention as long as possible so the site can make money off of me

I feel the same. I can just block instances or people if I don't like it, simple as that lol

I couldn't agree more, stay on big tech if you can't accept both sides

The nice thing is that whichever you choose, you can still interact with people on either side so I might as well stick around here just cause I'm too lazy to make another account

Im not 100% sure but I believe it's like its own platform that's part of the fediverse and is also similar to reddit the same way Lemmy is

Could you elaborate? I'm curious as to what that whole situation is about?

I'm assuming some kind of politics are involved with the stuff I mentioned, but like I said, I'm not sure what's going on there but the fact I even mentioned it obviously is enough to trigger one side of the little war going on there

It's honestly heartbreaking considering how much work it must be to write a book and how scary it is especially with so many influencers and celebrities in the market now already making it harder for real authors to get noticed

Reddit is stubborn, it's kinda funny.

Ive used AdBlock for about 15+ years, at first because YouTube was getting a little overboard with their ads. Now I've kinda became a privacy nut and still use stuff like UBlock Origin but more for stopping weird trackers and cookies that invade my privacy and sell my data

EDIT: I've since learned to allow just ads for certain cites to support others as long as it's for content creators or small business. I also enjoy donating to FOSS creators when I can afford it, which is something we should all consider doing to help support FOSS that doesn't really on our data to pay the bills.
