I love that over on Reddit most of the content is still coming from Xitter. The only change is that they aren’t posting direct links crediting the person who made it.
What a half-ass way to boycott a site.
In levels of racism, misogyny, prejudice, X is on the same level as 9Gag
Gosh, 9gag was so cool, like, 15 years ago :(
kinda funny, early Redditors like me used to think 9gag was never good lol, kinda like ifunny, so this is kinda like that Legolas gimli meme where it’s like “never thought I’d join a 9gagger to fight for fediverse/anti corporate media” ya know?
exactly, 15 years ago Now it is an incel-infested basement
I don’t knlw what’s that place and I’m too afraid to ask…
It was always like a shit version of funnyjunk
The only problem I have with x alternatives currently (both Bluesky and Mastodon) is that my favourite r34 artists havent really switched plattforms :(
Btw, Rule34-xxx is superior.
A cultured being
A lot of Japanese artists are on misskey, so…
You should check. I’ve been surprised by the amount of “suggested accounts” on bluesky that were people I lost track of when quitting twitter.
A few months ago there was a pretty big wave of creatives moving to Bkuesky. I think around October. There might be more than when you checked last.
Self report
I love this image
For Lemmy just replace racism with unsolicited Linux advice
I get what you are saying, but you should try Chimera Linux.
We are racists when it comes to operating systems. No windows allowed at home.
Maybe we need a term for this. What do the gender focused Lemmy crowd think is a good term for not accepting windows.
Windophobic?
OSist
Do you even Arch?
No but I’d like to. I’d unironically join a supportive Linux noob community. One where we can also complain without fear of reprisals
{btw}
I find Arch to be too much bloat.
I prefer something really lightweight that only runs notepat
Bloat I only use Butterfly to manually flip electorn and stream output directly into my brain.
What did Linux do to you?
This is actually hilarious. It looks like the entire sub is just people posting anti-Linux memes and being downvoted to death
Not a bad sub tbh
He probably ran btrfs with raid 5
without backupsRookie mistake
I’d rather have the unsolicited linux advice tbh
but anyways that’s not super relevant because there very much is still racism on lemmy…
Yeah but I see a racist comment like once a week. You don’t have to spend long on Twitter to find that shit.
It usually takes about 8 seconds.
Bedrock Linux is pretty cool (I am not going to say ar*h btw)
Are the rumours about Arch being too hard true? If someone’s experienced with Debian and Fedora, will they find Arch too hard?
It’s not really difficult but as far as i remember, you have to configure everything yourself, which can be tiring. Depends on your mood though, if you’re into configuring your own linux system, then i guess Arch is perfect for you.
I think vanilla Arch is daunting to get going because it drops you in with so little to start with. Once you’re past that I think it’s fine. Especially if you’re already used to Debian and Fedora. Sure, you’ll need to learn to use pacman (Arch’s package manager) and it is a little confusing at times, but there’s a ton of great advice for it online, including the Arch wiki.
I highly suggest EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch with a better install process. Once its done you’ll have a desktop environment and browser. I’m using CachyOS which is similar but has a little but more stuff, but it’s still Arch. Like you, I’m very confident with other Linux OSes but was wary of Arch. Turns out people have good solutions to get over that worst hurdle nowadays (the original install and getting a desktop environment).
Also, unlike other derivative distributions like Ubuntu to Debian and Manjaro to Arch, EndeavourOS really is just Arch. It’s just a nicer install process.
Ime, not really. It feels daunting the first time, but the installation guide on the wiki is actually really good at holding your hand through it.
Just be careful not to skip any sections
Plus now there’s an installation script that is really good for basic installs. Takes about 10 minutes now.
So true. Two years ago I still used twitter for nsfw content, but even that got weird (and really suspicious sometimes).
This is why we can’t have nice things.
I keep it to quickly check service outages.
Xbox, crunchy, Netflix, etc down? Check Twitter. If a bunch of people are talking about it. It’s down. If not then it’s probably a local thing with my ISP.
Downdetector?
Unreliable. Bad UI.
I’d argue its more reliable than twitter, but whatever.
And you have the added benefit of not having to go near twitter.
It may be. But twitter gives immediate no questions asked results.
Idk, sites where people can report their own issues are usually more reliable than trusting a company ti announce every issue over Twitter.
The company isn’t involved. I’m looking for other users all complaining about X service being down.
You can just bing: is ______ down right now?
I could. But my system works.
And supports fascism.
Unfortunately true. Someone really should throw Elon a Mario party. With steel toes.
basically me, but there opposite when Musky Husky took over:
“Urgh. Racism in my porn app?”
It’s called Twix
I never understood people posting porn to microblogging sites. What’s the point of this? There are literally millions of other places to get porn already, it’s like what the Internet was invented for.
It’s like a little more curated. Plus it can be interactive. There are nsfw activities that you can’t do on porn sites.
Ant platform where you can share images will inevitably be used for porn
The entomologists will not be happy about their ant plantform being used for porn
When an ornithologist gets lost and posts tits
A nice pair of great tits
Nice tits
What is this, a platform for ants?!
A few of them will, but we don’t talk about those…
But how else will you hear about all the little details of their daily lives on a regular porn site? The parasocial connections to your favorite porn stars aren’t gonna form all by themselves!
You joke but the sad thing is that this is how OF content creators drum up the most business. They prey on giving lonely/intimacy challenged people some sort of subconscious feeling of hope and connection to someone else inside a screen. Why else would you pay for prawn? It’s literally free all over the internet.
It’s usually there so people seek out the only fans / subscription content. Additionally for general exposure (ha!), likes and followers.
Yeah in that context I guess it makes sense.
i thought it was just women promoting their onlyfans like they do on Reddit and really any social media
I’ve read that it used to be a great place for really niche stuff. BUT your point still stands because I’m really not sure why that would be. Maybe the interface or something lent itself to that well or maybe it just hit the right moment and took off.
I think it’s because of the advertising system. Once you stumble onto one of them, you get the “content makers” retweeting eachother. It doesn’t cost them a dime to retweet someone else’s post, and if you retweet, you’re gonna get retweeted.
I’m still convinced there are some women I know that have/had an only fans (because of sudden changes to living quality without job promotions or other new sources of income). But this system also benefits them, if it is niche stuff like feet for instance, you’ll never find them, and you’ll never know it if you did. If it’s “normal stuff” (good luck getting me to define that, I have no fucking clue anymore) most “content makers” hide their identities pretty well, and I’d bet money that there are unspoken agreements between them to assist in keeping it that way.
Heh. You think feet are niche.
Drag is waiting for the day Lemmy users learn about dolls. It’ll blow their minds.
Ok
