Free speech ladies and gentlemen.
The pastor gets to voice his opinion.
Anyone who disagrees with his viewpoint, should think twice about voicing their opinion, or they'll kill ya.
To be fair, I have trouble telling what is me and what is depression at this point, so it's understandable that others would find it even more confusing.
It is kinda funny when people realise I'm not sexy depressed, but actual depressed.
Turns out things run smoother, when you don't need to load your social network with tracking, telemetrics and advertisements.
Who could have guessed?
I've been commenting on (fediverse twitter equivalent) mastodon posts on kbin, with my kbin account, because mastodon is also federated with kbin.
Sure, the fediverse is fragmented, but it's also far more connected.
TIL there's someone working on federating wordpress with mastodon. That means we'll soon be able to 'boost'(retweet) a wordpress article on The Rules of Acquisition on mastodon with a kbin account and have lemmy users comment on it with a Quark gif they found on pixelfed(instagram equivalent) or a video from peertube (youtube equivalent).
Honestly, it feels a bit like we've been robbed all these years, commenting on screenshots of tweets you can't easily copy paste or snapchat videos that barely load in the janky reddit videoplayer. That and switching between 5 different messenger apps, because these greedy cunts refuse to allow you to send a message from insta to whatsapp, because it might mean you spend 5 seconds less looking at ragebait content surrounded by ads.
Potential snitch in the Sopranos.
The thing you will need to get your head around, is that you've not just joined lemmy.world. You've just joined the fediverse. I'm currently commenting on your post from kbin. I don't even have a lemmy account. I am not on lemmy while I type this.
Want to 'boost' a 'toot' on mastodon, the fediverse equivalent of twitter? No problem. I'm almost certain you can do that from lemmy too, like I can from kbin. Hell, there are people working on allowing people on lemmy, mastodon, etc. to read and comment on wordpress posts:

There are still bugs to be ironed out, but imagine being able to retweet a youtube comment from facebook messenger with a reaction gif off instagram. Impossible, right? Not in the fediverse.
And I for one think that's really really cool.
Caveat: you're an early adopter. There are going to be bugs. On the other hand, unlike reddit which made millions in advertising revenue, IME the people running networks in the fediverse don't wait ten years to half fix issues.
Something for the people who finished watching the Hobbit trilogy.
Could also be that snap bought gfycat just to kill it.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Why compete when it's cheaper to buy then shut down your competitors?
I can't read your comment. Have you tried turning your computer off and on again?
Why not mastodon?
You can retweet/boost and comment on mastodon toots/tweets on kbin.
