Sony really dropped the ball this generation.

Maybe we’ll see, you know, actual games being released in the next one.

It’s alright.

I’m glad I can take my laptop and essentially work anywhere with a power outlet and an internet connection.

It’s invaluable.

It has already saved me so much time and allowed me to do things I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.

I’m sold on it.

Avoiding contributing to the economy as much as possible.

Doing business under the table, never eating at restaurants, never spending money on digital entertainment I could be getting for free.

I’m honestly a lot happier than when I was consuming.

I wish more people had this mindset.

The easiest way to do this is to get a cheap or free VPS with wireguard and use that as a proxy for your self-hosted website/services.

I2P still has the feel of the old internet.

There’s still 4chan, but it’s kind of shitty due to the captcha.

Kind of reminds me of how Pride just became another advertising platform for businesses.

Money really does ruin everything.

It’s pretty interesting to see how normie culture destroys everything it infests.

The same game has been playing out between the puppets and their puppeteers long before the internet came to being.

Great comparison to music.

If you really want to fight back, learn from the Mexican cartels and Islamic insurgencies.

We have data on what works.

Wow! No sovereign citizen is advocating for this!

In reality, reddit gave a userbase to a platform that previously had none.

All of that extra bullshit actively detracts from discord and I hope Matrix never follows suit.

True, but it made it easy to chat with others without having to enter in an IP address.

Yeah, I have no idea why the matrix developers decided to have stuff called “spaces and rooms” instead of servers and channels.

This seems to be like Bluesky vs. Mastodon.

I see a lot of morons shilling one over the other, so I expect it to be the stupid-platform.

I dunno about netflix, but at least the reddit debacle diverted a lot of users to the fediverse.

If we get a similar exodus from discord to matrix, that would work wonders for spreading the fediverse to others. Most of them still haven’t even heard of it.

🤮

Who are the morons that keep making these decisions?

It’s all about abuse.

Companies get too big for their britches and are accustomed to doing whatever they want with their sheep just going along.

I’m sure they’re very surprised to see any kind of significant backlash.
