I honestly picked this one purely because it was performant on the day I switched from Reddit. Thankfully I've ended out really liking the direction it's going in too. I wouldn't be too worried about picking the right instance, just look for one you generally agree with the moderation and pick it. You can always switch to another one or have multiple accounts.

Yeah, right now I've got a s23 ultra and I really like it. There is too much of an advantage to the mainstream phones in camera and extra features for me to make that jump yet. I had a OnePlus with lineage before but I can't pretend I haven't enjoyed the Samsung so far. As for my Lenovo X1 Carbon I'd replace it in a second, it's still doing pretty well right now but it's absolutely not repairable and starting to show its age a bit. I've also just been lucky to not need to repair anything.
I wholeheartedly agree, supporting non taco Tuesday instances is a good way to destroy Lemmy
When I first read about the defederation I had a knee jerk angry response but after thinking about it I really feel like it makes sense for them. They want to have a heavily moderated space and it's hard to do that when you integrate with the other communities. It seems to me they have a level head and are approaching this carefully. I hope that they end out being in the minority but I can understand having a few relatively solitary groups with a focused goal.
Why don't cigarettes use paper filters like joints?
Keep doing what your doing! It's in the name, it's gonna just work. I don't wanna read their garbage and I like how your running the place. Keep up the great work and thanks for the performant Lemmy instance :)
It is very old, however I'd argue the content within it is completely theoretical and divorced from what our modern AI can achieve. It would be interesting if they could address GPT within it but it really doesn't impact the ideas within it.
Heck yeah! I'm planning on getting a framework laptop when I next need an upgrade and if I get any input on the decision I'll be pushing for the corporate company I work at to adopt them. I'm admittedly not sure I'm ready to jump on the fairphone train yet but I'm open to the idea.
Now it makes so much sense, buddies an Elon stan. He's clearly a complete idiot.
I would aim to find a healthy way to use Lemmy instead. Given you said you usually only follow it I might make an argument that there is just a massive it event currently Happening on Lemmy. As such your following it. I don't know that going back to Reddit will make much of a difference to you if you already have those habits. Try to limit your social media use and find a healthy way to interact with social media.
Private companies absolutely can, what sucks is alot of owners are looking for a public exit so they can make a ton of money and step away from the company. Valve is a great example of a private company happy to sit back and rake in cash. They have no plans to go public and can continue slowly improving their product because of it.
I'm almost wondering if the top signs are wrong? I'm pretty sure I've used that bathroom and went left and I think there was urinals??? Definitely got me questioning if it did tho.
