Thank you for the thorough explanation. I will research more about it.

Here in Brazil, banking services force you into installing spyware in your computer in order to use them, making it a worse option compared to proprietary android apps.
But Aurora is much safer, as the apk comes directly from the official store.
You made some good points. We often forget that most people have trouble with simple technical concepts, and the mere fact of having no simple and straightforward answer to "where do I register?" Is something that can inibit a lot of users.
This happens so much in the open source world. Things that are obvious to us can be difficult to others, but open systems aren't designed for the general public.
This is interesting. I'm new to the fediverse, and I thought that, for example, only lemmy instances could allow users to interact with each other.
Do friendica and lemmy share the same protocol, just implemented differently, or do they have some sort of gatewaway to allow interaction between each other?
Unsing older hardware here too. Had to move to pale moon because even Firefox struggles with 2gb of ram.
Mind if I ask what makes you believe that federated social media will replace the mainstream ones? Literally everyone around me, everywhere I go, have no clue about any social media besides the big ones. I tried introducing mastodon to a few, but they found it harder to use.
I tried looking at google trends to see if there are recent spikes in searches for lemmy, but it's a bit had because they didn't categorize for the lemmy software.
I'm new around here. Why was it strange?
I'm another reddit refugee and came just yesterday. I'm worried about happening the same that happened with koo when a lot of people migrated from twitter. They had to spend a lot into new resources, and expected a huge growth, but it turned out to be more of a temporary spike than anything. The majority of people already went back to twitter.
But at least for me, I'm here to stay.
Would love to see spaces for talking aboit neurodivergences too.
If the content was paid, a lot of countries would simply be excluded from the internet.
Unfortunately, for most sites, using ads in the only viable alternative. I think we are so fast to reject ads, instead of finding ways to make non invasive ones. A balanced use of ads could make the web free and readable.
