Excellent choice of lens.

Ooooops, I didn't realise @yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone meant _piracy_πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ it was late when I replied.πŸ˜…

Anyway, thanks for letting me know!

I feel attacked πŸ˜‚

I avoided forums growing up because from what I've witnessed there was a lot of verbal abuse and so on, but I was into "communities" (basically closed social network long before I heard of myspace or facebook).

For example, I listened to a lot of hip-hop as a teenager. there was no meta algorithm feeding me garbage, but there was a hip hop community website :) It felt more intimate or homegrown if you will.

I've read this entire comment section all the way down here. What a waste of time.


I truly pray that our EU leaders don't bicker amongst themselves like this. 🀣 EU armament now!

You beat me to it. I wanted to do exactly this when I saw the title πŸ˜‚

can you elaborate? or should I assume that means I can't follow "communities" from privacy instances?

I was so fed up with IG and explored mastodon/pixelfed for a bit, and it felt like a lot of weight off my shoulder when looking at the feed(s) knowing that there is no machinery feeding me straightup BS. The "feed" was behaving exactly as it used to during the days when RSS was a thing (remember those?).

like.. wow... I have control over this! and I don't have to spend too much energy filtering off BS. That convinced to explore alternatives like Lemmy.

I joined today. :)
