Elon Musk Really Broke Twitter This Time - The Atlantic
  • Twitter isn’t dying and isn’t broken. I have also learned the Atlantic is hit and miss. The users and content is still on Twitter. The people going to Mastodon are the niche group of techies. Mastodon isn’t for your casual or average twitter user which is a majority of twitter.

    I think news and ads ruined social media today. I do miss the days of MySpace when people used to log on, hangout and message each other. You used to connect with your friends online. Today, social media isn’t really used like that anymore.

  • So where are we all supposed to go now?

    Meta’s Twitter competitor, Threads, briefly showed up on Google Play
  • For Facebook being Facebook, I can’t help but think how will they screw up “Threads.” Instagram has become a junk platform and WhatsApp has declined as well. Meta or Facebook will try to monetize Threads or ActivityPub with their own take. I can’t believe anything decent let alone good will come from this.

  • where are the (good) subs?
  • It’s going to take some time or you can create the community. July 1st just arrived. So people are still trying to figure out what to do about Reddit. Not everyone was going to migrate to Lemmy July 1st when 3PA shut down. It’ll happen over time. In the meantime we can all do our part and contribute to the different communities now and create content so more people will want to join.

  • Can we get Apollo dev to create a Lemmy iOS mobile app?
  • In one of his interviews he said he wasn’t very interested at the moment. But he did say he will watch Lemmy and the fediverse to see the growth of it and decide later on if it’s worth it to build an app for Lemmy. He isn’t sure if Lemmy will actually grow after July 1st but time will tell.

    Wefwef for Lemmy feels exactly like Apollo.
  • I just installed Mlem and Memmy. Both have a very nice UI and are smooth. I am leaning towards Mlem though. I like swiping right to view my communities.

    Edit: I was an Apollo user and reddit does not feel the same without Apollo.

  • Duck Duck Go browser available for Windows
  • I haven't used Google in a while. I have been using Brave Search and it has been good. They don't rely on any of the big search engines anymore either. They have been building their own index. Right now they only rely on Google and Bing search for image search.

  • Duck Duck Go browser available for Windows
  • I had use FF for years until a couple months ago. I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled. More often than not, isn't chromium chosen because of performance and the project gets a lot of contributions?
