This sounds like something out of The Onion, its gotta be fake

Forgot cool robots

Reminds me of the reddit rap on r/Teenagers

Third week? Damn, i sweared i joined only two weeks ago

I guess the mushrooms are finally kicking in

I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place, but can someone explain to me how Linux gives more liberty than Windows and why Linux is objectively better than Windows? I want to switch to Linux but i didn’t find any good reason or incentive to abandon Windows

I’ve tried to use Linux Mint and i liked the experience, but since i’m more of a casual user, i came back to Windows 10, mainly because i just use my pc for browsing, watching YouTube and gaming, using Vegas and Visual Studio Code occasionally.

The whole fediverse thing is what really takes me back to my first days on the internet, because after some years, the way the internet works in general became common knowledge, so nothing felt new, or the things that were really new, were actually just stupid concepts (Take for example NFTs that rised in popularity last year, people said it would change the future and the way the internet works, but it actually was just a dumb pyramid scheme and it led to nothing, even to this day i have no idea how it works.)

But the federation is a genuinely interesting system that is different from everything i’ve seen in the past years. The concept of anyone hosting conglomerates of communities in their own house or even in a dedicated server, while all those instances communicate with eachother is mind boggling for me, and the fact that none of this is owned by a company truly reinforces the feeling of community. The fediverse feels like a part of the internet that is yet to be explored, and while i don’t understand it completely, there’s still much to learn and discover. Browsing through Lemmy doesn’t feel just like a daily dopamine rush activity just like Reddit, it genuinely feels like i’m interacting, contributing and being part of it, something i haven’t felt for a long time tbh.

I think this is the thing that made me stay on Lemmy and don’t look back on Reddit. I’d imagine that the federation is not a totally new concept, but since i discovered it i’m feeling just like when i discovered the internet when i was 5 years old, i posted more here in the last 5 days than what i used to post on reddit in a year.

Feels good to be part of the growth of a community!
