I’d argue conspiracies have always been trending for more than a few years now, it’s just they’ve reached mainstream now. If you’re in the US they have definitely been a major part of the political culture here and is one of the reasons there is so much distrust in any authority. Sad to see though.
The more exposure the better (for better or worse). As the fediverse grows we gotta watch for the growing pains of becoming a large social media platform.
This goes for anyone in the fediverse, not just lemmy users. I am on kbin which may not have as much options as lemmy to migrate to, but I will also be looking out for instances that match my interests more.
Been waiting for the main instance to start up! Thanks for this guide.
Neat, so yams in the US refer to a sweet potato? Slightly related, but can you also explain the difference between Ube and Taro? I’ve had this conversation with my friends as well.
People feel really empowered with the anonymity of the internet…
This is where the system of Favorite and Reduce comes in. Same concept on Reddit with upvotes and downvotes. Hopefully the community will help to filter out the noise, but again, history tends to repeat itself.
Thanks for this! Not sure why I never actually bothered to look into other kbin instances.
I wish kbin had other instances…
Easy to find a lot for Mastodon however. Is there a migration guide to transfer accounts somewhere?
MySpace…that’s a name I haven’t heard muttered in years…
Wow checking out the site now, Calckey/Firefish looks great. Is this meant to be another Fediverse replacement for Twitter?
Great read. This quote really stuck out to me and gave me chills. Reading about AI is so fascinating. Feels like we’re on the cusp of something big.
