Fedora here, been running Baldur’s Gate 3 no problem using proton. Even with a 2600.

No reason to go back to windows knowing I can run pretty much anything through steam.

Small communities are the best communities

In 10 years we went through a huge jump. Mass use of smart phones, new PoS systems, the internet has become overly censored, forest fires like we have never seen before, covid, powerful handhelds, AI… Things are exponential right now

I still vote we are some sort of experiment for aliens to observe, and have been under the microscope as they watched us evolve from primal creatures to the death of the world as we advance with our destructive technologies.

I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn’t really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking “this has so much potential!” The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it’s exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there’s still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.

I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.

The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.

It’s fucking annoying. The amount of times I turned off autoplay and sound in my settings only to have it blasted in my face. It just makes me not want to use Facebook, it’s become like a whiney annoying baby whenever I go on it.

We need a new MySpace/Facebook esque platform that isn’t corporate, I highly doubt we will get that, and even if their was an option, most people wouldn’t even migrate.

I was using Facebook as a means to see whats up in my area, everytime I go on now I scroll till I see something interesting, I get a few mins in and decide it’s dead and close out of it.

Facebook once was a great tool for local postings, it’s now gone to shit. I am really hoping to see another platform, preferably in the fediverse take it’s place.

dot com is coming to an end, and people are seeking alternatives, I just hope it isn’t a total fragmentation of the masses.

Now we need a new video platform.
