With the recent happenings in the United States, the dangers of the privately owned Internet is more apparent than ever, and frankly, it's scary. And so I'd like to make a simple request to anyone who is reading this; Please use the Fediverse, just a little more.

I personally hate it when I'm stuck having to visit say, YouTube or Reddit to get information, or to entertain myself in quiet moments, and if you're reading this, the likely chance is you're the same.

All I want to ask of you is to just comment a few more times, press send on that post that you felt wasn't of enough substance to be worth anyone's time. We have such a small community compared to everywhere else, but what we do have in common is that, in the grand scheme of things, we are the early adopters. And if we take that to heart and make this space a little bigger, maybe it will be just big enough we won't have to visit walled gardens so often.

Thank you :)

I'm curious, how did you get those stats?

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Thunder on Android. Its the best Lemmy app, if only it was less buggy :)

I use Eternity, personally (feels good after having used Infinity so long), just how good is Thunder now?

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 6 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Eternity hasn't been updated for two months, so i'd steer clear if possible.

Thunder is amazing, but there's ONE bug that drives me insane. Some images have weird dimensions that you have to click on to fix.

Example:

Is there an open ticket for the dev to know?

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago

Only this, https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1617 and it's been inactive

[–] rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago

I'll look into it, thanks!

And that was after I'd been on kbin.social for six months.

Just took a look and wow, I think you might be right, haha. Be proud, you are the fediverse's best soldier. 🏅
