I use both and I agree. I have a different mindset on mastodon, there I care more about who is saying something than what they say. I have a small group of people I care about. On lemmy/piefed I care about what someone says but not who they are. It’s all about the topic.
I like it because saving is writing. Like in ed(1) or vi(1).

You can also contribute if you feel some content is missing, start a community or contribute things to an existing one. Quality is the result of care.
Which word or phrase do you suggest we should use instead for the idea of freedom of speech applied on a private level? Where in this case the instance admin takes on the role of regulating what can or can’t be communicated on their instance.
I agree, but I do think that’s the most important thing.
In a way, yes, but his site isn’t federated with other sites. Truth social is a modified Mastodon instance.
What makes Lemmy different from Reddit is that if some moderator or admin is limiting your freedom of speech, you can run your own instance with your own rules and communities and still be on Lemmy. Reddit can ban you from Reddit, but Lemmy is like a collection of “reddits” that integrate and there is no central authority. To answer your question, as a user you have more freedom to find an instance with rules that align with your values and wishes, and you always have the option to create your own instance, and no one can stop you. If you say things that other people don’t want to hear, they might block you, but that doesn’t limit your freedom of speech.
I like that people like different things, even if I can’t see what they see in it. Nobody should be made to feel like a freak for liking something, or being interested in something.
Yes! I know that feeling. David Foster Wallace wrote in one of his novels, I forget which, something like “how strange that I can have all this inside me, and to you it’s just words”. When you find something that emotionally resonate with you, art or poetry or anything, do you think that the meaning is what the artist intended, that there’s a 1:1 connection with what the artist felt, or is it more that the art allows us to put meaning into it? Like a more sophisticated and guided Rorschach test?
Oh! Thanks :) I’m trying to imagine this in the situation when they are flapping their wings trying to get out through a closed window. The next time it happens I’ll try to get it so it lies on its back.
This week a bird flew into a room I was in, a small one. Ok, they are actually called blue tit, but don’t let that distract, it’s a nice little bird. Anyway, it couldn’t find its way out, so I had to catch it in my hands. I was afraid I was going to hurt it by mistake, because it was trying to break free from my grip, but I managed to carry it back to the open window and it flew away (seemingly) happy. It’s the second time this happens, so I started searching online for the correct way to carry a small bird that doesn’t want to be carried. I did not find this information, but on a page about pet birds, I found this paragraph: “Spend quality time with your bird in a calm and positive manner. Offer treats, engage in gentle play, and use soft, soothing voices to build trust.” I am not a bird of course, but you know what, that doesn’t sound too bad! I want that. I showed it to my girlfriend and she gave me a look. We’ve been arguing a lot lately because she’s been emotionally distant and sort of spiraling out of control. I just wish I had a life like that “how to treat your bird” description but mutual. Do you know what I mean?
I see, I thought they were synonyms, english isn’t my first language.
Pen is more like “almost”, like in peninsula, almost an island.
0 money. I already had a pair of bunny ears, improvised a tail from curtain tassel tie-back thing that was already like a fluffy white ball, white clothes.
I’ve heard that boat owners are happy on two days. The day they buy it, and the day they sell it.
It may seem like we all run Linux, but some people run BSD too.
