I went back to Reddit…

...And WTF events related to Karma led me to come back here, because Lemmy really surpasses Reddit on all points (even if it cruelly lacks users compared to Reddit).

On some subreddits, we ask to have a Karma in comments good enough on all Reddit to be able to publish one on the community in question (it happened to me on /r/iOSBeta). I don’t know you but these communities shouldn’t get involved in what I do on other Reddit communities, it doesn’t make sense.

Another problem is users who feel superior to others because they have a better Karma. There was a discussion on r/privacy that talked about alternatives to Fire Stick and Chromecast, and one guy had proposed Apple TV, another had replied that Apple was worse than Google and Amazon when it comes to data collection. So to this guy I told him that he would have to be a little clearer by giving evidence. And there, he answers me « You’re a fresh 0-Karma account, you bring proofΒ Β».

Well, that’s what Reddit is for me. A huge social

Do you use Pocket or other Read Later App?

  • I was thinking about Nothing Phone 2. Does the brand give off a good image in terms of privacy?

    Migrate from Apple?

    Good morning! I hope this community is not dead 😡

    I was objectively wondering if it was advantageous to switch from a Nothing Phone 2 or 2a (which one is already the best?) Since an iPhone 13.

    That’s it. Otherwise, do you prefer Nothing or Apple?

  • Wow, this is the most complete answer I have ever seen. But is it wrong if I stay at Apple? Are there any competitors on the Android side that are worth it (I am thinking in particular of a pixel on which GrapheneOS is installed)?

    Find Twitter accounts on Mastodon

    I am looking for an alternative to bird.makeup (Because it doesn't work anymore) that allows me to follow Twitter accounts on Mastodon. I saw on GitHub there was a tool called Touitomamout (https://github.com/louisgrasset/touitomamout) which is up to date and apparently does the job well but I don't know much about Docker. Is there an instant solution for me to follow Elon Musk on Mastodon πŸ˜†.

  • A little hardcore method in my opinion. This is especially if the instance is dying.

  • I agree, I myself am a programmer but hey not everyone is installing IDEs and game engines and Linux on their tablet. Steam could be interesting knowing that Apple authorizes alternative stores in the European Union. The iPad is not complete indeed, but it is just a consumer computer that targets people who do not want to complicate their lives as well as artists (Apple pencil).

  • It is true that a real Firefox on iOS/iPadOS is missing. But otherwise you can’t say that your iPad is ONLY used to watch Netflix 🀣 I mean, some people replace their computer with an iPad!

    My opinion on Mastodon after 2 weeks...

    I’m not going to make a big paragraph to explain myself but here are the positive points:

    • No advertising
    • Diversified applications
    • Very good freedom of expression
    • Fedivers
    • Verification (using a website)

    Now negative points:

    1. I was sold instances that served as a mirror with X which would have facilitated integration into Mastodon for users like me. Only 2% of the accounts I follow on X are on Mastodon (Mozilla, Proton).
    2. There are not really « funΒ Β» accounts like https://x.com/humansnocontext that post funny video clips, I find Mastodon a little too serious, I see a lot of political accounts and sometimes the lives of normal people like mine. It’s a shame πŸ˜•. I mean, I chose Lemmy because it’s so much more diverse!
    3. You cannot change your username. It’s a shame about that...

    Well, that was my opinion on Mastodon.

    If you have recommendations, favorites of Mastodon accounts, share them with me.

  • Yes, thank you for answering the privacy issue. To be honest, I use Apple products but not so much iCloud. I’m in the Proton ecosystem and I’m waiting for Firefox to become less terrible than it currently is, otherwise in the meantime I’m using Safari with AdGuard...

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Why don’t you like Apple?

    Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

  • I chose Lemmy.zip because I liked the compact interface and the color palette. It takes me little to be happy!

  • I don’t know... I would have liked them to set up a system of instances like on Lemmy or Mastodon to remove the price barrier + lazy to pay an app €12.

    Blogger Alternative for the Fediverse

    [UPDATE] Thank you for your comments but I found that Write Freely was well on paper but not funny to set up (self hosting) and maybe a little dead. I found that https://bearblog.dev met the specifications well. Although it is not integrated into the Fediverse, it is free and respectful of privacy!

    Everything is in the title. I am looking for a FREE alternative to Blogger but that allows me to share Blog articles in the Fedivers. I don’t like WordPress.com because it is very limited in its free version and not very transparent about privacy in my opinion unlike WordPress.org. In short, if you have any suggestions, I’m taking it!

  • The site finds the Twitter user I’m looking for but when I enter the link bird.makeup like [email protected] on Mastodon it doesn’t find...

    New on Mastodon

    Hello, I hope you are well.

    This is a very special period because I am migrating to the Fedivers. If I’m talking to you here, it’s because you suspect Reddit is a first step! Now I’ve moved to Mastodon. I took the mas.to instance and I was faced with a problem: who to follow? So I was wondering if you had any content proposals that I could follow on Mastodon. I am strongly recommended to follow hashtags so I also take.

    (I didn’t know it but thanks to ActivityPub I can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon, if it’s not crazy)

    It would be a solution in the short term but do people know how to mirror a Twitter account for free?

  • Thank you for making me discover the site! Regarding Peertube, it’s more complicated, it’s better to use Piped to continue using YouTube...

  • PeerTube on the idea is great but you have to be honest, YouTube is better. So this is what I did in this specific case to fight the bad Google: I registered on a Piped instance to continue watching videos without ads, without trackers, without sponsored passages, etc... and if you have an Apple device there is an app for that, it’s called Yattee.

    I have a Mastodon account but honestly like PeerTube I like it on paper but there is only politics, so if you have accounts to recommend me I’m taking.

    Otherwise Linux Mint is really special I approve of your choice.
