Might as well carry on as usual. I like to think nothing changed and we just moved.

The community is thousands of times more important than where it happens to be.

I never considered going back. Lemmy is forward. More power to the users and the community and less from greedy shareholders. This is the way.

It's like a warm, beautiful sunset.

Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!

REDDIT WHO!?

EXACTLY!

LEMMY'S GOT TECHIES, IT'S GOT TREKKIES, IT'S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN'T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!

Lemmy and Reddit promote engagement, discourse and even arguments... ok, especially arguments.

Mastodon feels like a list of billboards that I am disconnected from.

"Oh, that's news"

But no one talks between eachother about anything. I almost feel like the nature of the layout of Twitter and it's alternatives are almost by design to make the users a little more self serving.

Mastodon has every user standing on a soapbox yelling at crowds, Lemmy is more of a public forum.

Reminds me of what reddit used to be, what UBB boards used to be before that, and small irc rooms before that. Freedom, the never constant, always moving community of individuals. Some of the same people I knew on Reddit, I knew in my old Dreamcast irc and AOL days.

Shit changes, we move but we never go away. Now we're here. Thanks for having us.

While I can't quite land on why I didn't use Mint DE, I didn't use Ubuntu because I don't like snap very much. Just about every instance using it has led to either issues clashing with other apps or just complete failure overall. I know you can avoid it and get rid of it but I'm tired of removing things.

I saw MX and was like... "Looks like my desktop as I usually like it." and you can treat MX as if it's just another Debian stable install as far as guides are concerned.

MX Linux.

Debian with perks.

Twitter isn't important and federated social media will replace it to a point that it won't be anything more than a footnote in twenty years, or an unfortunate hurdle that was overcome as the internet matured.

Let's shake our fingers harder.

Kodi and Real Debrid. Once it's set up, you'll just find content and watch it.

I would say Plex and overseer or Jellyfin and jellyseer but that still depends on you're personally able to source and will limit you to free trackers.

Debrid is kind of a one stop shop even if it does cost a bit each month.
