I'm new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it's pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)

I'm not super savvy but couldn't they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I'm wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.

I've been struggling to find any resource for mac tech support/general questions. The r/mac subreddit is more of a cult or something(same with apple forums except its non competent apple employees), I've had the problem of siri running in the background (while having siri disabled) and it using over 100% of a cpu core, bringing the temps up by 20-30 degrees while idle, and the only answer I've got there was on the lines of "trust you're computer bro, it knows more than you". I'd love a community to ask mac specific questions and not have people who get personally offended when someone criticizes or points out a problem on apple devices.

A while ago I started loosing hope in the internet, even before ai it was mostly bots, and copy and paste articles. Everything is exponentially getting more and more malicious, with algorithms made to suck you in with obviously no care for the human user, just make stock go up, and make comically evil board members happy.

Not enough people are talking about what lemmy and bluesky have done, I'm not that tech savvy but from what I've understand their decentralized nature makes people always in control as opposed to one company.

Going on these sites brings me back to the earlier days of the internet, where it felt like interacting with real people, posting to an actual community, rather than being in one of those dystopian movies with slurm drinks and infinite amount of trash being pumped out by bots, to get as many views for monetization/outreach which is what pretty much all major social medias feel today.
