It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

Social pressure is a real thing. I wonder just how many people in the US have iphones because of that dumb blue-green bubble stuff.

Linkedin is a cesspool and nothing but a dumpster fire. I wish I wasn’t pressured to joining it for job searches.

Let’s not mix NFTs into this.

So it’s somewhere between Open-Closed:

• open signup (no invite required), instant availability
• open signup (no invite required), manual approval required
• closed signup (invite required)

Domain hacking is fun, but politics isn’t fun. Bit.ly got taken over by the Libyan government agency, FMHY.ml also had to start over after Malian government stopped Freenom from giving out free domains.

iddqd was a well known cheat code from the era, not exactly obscure if not contemporary.

And to think, the Q shit started on these sites.

There shouldn’t be, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be enhanced. Hopefully a popular feature from an extension can become integrated into official web clients.

Its very ingrained on me that a proper business should be able to spare a few on a domain for themselves, as I remember it before the dot-com bubble.

Now? Websites have been displaced by social media altogether and many small business simply prefer having an Instagram profile, for example.

Yeah, that’s what happens, something cool but that’s it. It would be nice if l could use it for something else other than a glorified online resume.

I also bought a cheap domain for experimenting around, so that’s where all my “not so professional” stuff goes.

It means many people are using lemmy.world instance to view your post instead of lemmy.zip or feddit.ro.

Oh, memories. I was still in college.

I wonder if such a platform will gain acceptance beyond “nerdy techies” like us. There could be a working platform with apps and all, but if the suits find it “not professional enough”…

Just a thought. Some might need finer details vs block whatever its marked NSFW.

It reads like one of those 4chan pranks actually gaining followers.

Perhaps categories first then the specifics? (e.g. NSFL: Gore)

What about Yunohost? Its made for newbies getting into selfhosting and has Jitsi support.

I’d rather have a text-only instance with no media at all. Can this be done?

Does that disable image saving and processing for one’s instance?
