there is a bit of learning curve.

I found a couple of things :

• if you go to your preferences, you can get a more famililar reddit look and feel, by adding the top bar, and a few other tweaks.
• i think that ultimately it wont (shouldn't) matter what 'window' you look through into the fediverse - correct me if i'm wrong. I like kbin a lot, but i', looking at beehaw. i was asked not to join lemmy.ml because of server load issues.
• i'm not sure how mastodon fits. i guess that's a federated app - but is seems entirely seperate.

thats the nub of it.

"you must not profit from the content we did not create"

i got a lifetime ban on a 15y account. Why ? Some guy said I couldnt read, so i said Go outside fatso. And that was that.

all the data are mine all the money is mine. mine. mine. mine.

a totalitarian content vacuum, they created nothing : everything is written by you, linked by you and curated by you and now they want to charge you for looking at it.

what the fuck happened to the internet.

economically logical perhaps, but that's all. Nothing logical about more work in old age.

it's astounding how little coverage the BBC give to French riots........Solidarity mon frere

so far so go. i'm an old fart so familiarisation takes longer, and is easily forgotten ! 15 years on reddit before getting a permaban for saying "go outside fatso". Not my proudest moment, but there you go.

reddits downfall is multifaceted, but its certainly not helped by career Mods, who mod 20,30,50 different subs and network extensively.

maybe because i'm deep into a sunny afternoon of chicken and beer and my world class cynicism is blunted, but if the corps are doing this it means there is a market. if there is a market, it means there are right minded people and today ill take that
