  • The Fediverse has this really organic, underground feel to it that I don’t think I want to lose.

    If people want to leave Reddit/Twitter/Facebook/whatever and come to Fedi, I don’t mind there being a 1-hour learning curve to read an intro, find an instance, and sign up.

    Peeps who aren’t willing to do that are probably better off on other social media.

    Is there a reason to want to compete with Mainstream Social Media?



  • I used to be like you. Young and wild, being a night owl living in a world ruled by daywalkers.

    Nowadays, I tend to value even an hour of sleep over staying up the whole night. You always feel better after sleep and even a little bit is better than none.

    For staying up, I recommend coffee or chocolate-covered espresso beans (very easy to over-do it on these).

    For waking up after only a short amount of sleep, set multiple alarms about 3-5 mins apart for about 45 mins. If you use your phone as an alarm, put your phone in an empty coffee mug to help amplify the sounds and vibrations of the alarm. There’s no guilt worse than over-sleeping when someone is relying on you.






  • Lemmy? Not specifically committed to Lemmy forever, but I very much see myself using it as my top Social Media 2-3 years from now.

    I’m really invested that Lemmy (and the Fediverse in general) is only going to get more awesome.

    I’m just the past few weeks we’ve seen growth in not only the infrastructure, apps, and features of Lemmy, but there’s really great conversations happening around how the community is growing and possible threats to the system from big corps.

    I think the Fediverse is a great place and is a great future of “Social Media”.

    Even if no one else joins Fedi, I think we have enough entertaining content and news to sustain me for a long time. More people will join, though. Things will keep getting better, but it will take time.

    Fuck Reddit, Fuck Twitter, Fuck FAANG. I hope distributed is the future.
