  • Lemmy fulfills a sort of reddit/more intimate internet forum thing. Reddit’s real social good was fixing shitty search engine results by using Reddit as a keyword, and for centralizing a lot of hobbyist discussion. Lemmy and the lemmylikes will get there as the platform matures.

    I’m loving pixelfed as a sort of Imgur substitute tbh. Quick and easy image hosting for when I post on here. Not crazy about Instagram as a social media platform so there’s nothing I need pixelfed to do besides let me host medium-sized images, caption them and copy the link.
















  • IMO: streaming services are serving narrower selections of content, becoming more restrictive with account sharing, becoming more expensive. Its becoming unusually frustrating to find the streaming service that has your favorite show on it because the licenses change hands over and over again as these streaming services spread and metastasize. It’s hot garbage.



  • Airbnb eating shit. Airbnb has really fucked up the housing market, everyone’s realizing it’s a sham and the practice has about as much public goodwill as Ticketmaster.

    I think everyone’s getting more wary of this exploitative bullshit in general and people are getting more fluent in boycotting, protesting and making noise. I truly, truly cannot wait for the streaming service ecosystem collapse too.
