  • You don’t need to be tech-savvy to use a social media.

    You are entirely right when it is about centralized social media (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter and the likes).

    However, for example; Lemmy and Mastodon you at least need to be a bit tech-savvy.

    • Making account is different but then you get;
    1. The multiple instances.
    2. Multiple communities that are the same name.
    3. What is exactly decentralization.
    4. Federation.
    5. Difference instances can give different results (blocking, rules, and what you can and cannot see from other instances).
    6. How Moderation works is different than the usual platforms.
    7. Community discovery is different. Searching for something can be quite difficult on Lemmy.
    8. Lemmy’s community has a lot of tech-jargon which non-tech savvy people might find difficult to wrap their head around.
    9. How the banning system works on Lemmy is different than the usual platforms as well.












  • Yeah, I have. Back then I was active in a lot of political and semi-political communities, at first it was pretty decent and people were polite, debates with actual facts and links to trustable sources.

    After a while though, people become more hostile, insulting and debated with emotions and zero facts. I just grew tired of it and wasn’t really active in any other community. So I left for 4-6 months.

    Then one day got bored, decided to return to Lemmy but unsubscribed from every political community and I straight up blocked anyone who’s being a douche. I now stick a few communities (Piracy, gaming and books).




    • Persona 5 Royal
    • The Division 1
    • Metaphor: ReFantazio

    I already bought Persona 5 Royal a couple of years ago on PS4 (Royal + DLC of persona on sale). Really want to replay the game on my PC with 60FPS but refuse to pay another €25-60 euros for it, besides it has Denuvo. I might purchase it when, it’s at least €20 or below.

    Similar thing with The Division 1, would like to play the game again and it’s only €5 euro on Steam right now but the Ubisoft launcher is what rubs me the wrong way. Plus also already bought the game when it was just released on PS4. Still debating for this one since it’s only €5.

    For Metaphor: ReFantazio, it’s still way to pricey and it has Denuvo. So I will just wait it out until either Denuvo removed or an actual good sale happens.

    Yes, I’m a pirate (you might notice due to the instance, I’m on). I know we can emulate Persona 5 Royal and there’s a way to play the full game of Metaphor: ReFantazio. But since both of them are immensely big story games, I would like to have them ‘legally’ (cloud saves, Steam wise). Plus another reason is; my backlog is quite huge, got at least 45 games still to play (with only half of the weekends to actually game)
