As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.
I feel like when the Reddit API controversy happened I was more inclined to switch due to the blackout vs Twitter which didn’t have nearly as instant of an event that would happen to get me off. Now all of a sudden because of Reddit I’m on various Fediverse projects such as Funkwhale, Mastodon, Kbin, and Lemmy.

Today, like the past few days, we have had some downtime. Apparently some script kids are enjoying themselves by targeting our server (and others). Sorry for the inconvenience....

Unfortunately a lot of Reddit communities have not transferred over to Lemmy so I have to use Reddit logged out. But now the comments aren’t loading anymore…
Interesting comparison. OSR encounters usually have PCs have to use tactical means of defeating enemies, while romance stories have protagonists defeat their problems with special planning and tactics.
I am fucking scared of the mass surveilence nightmare direction that the internet and the world as a whole is going towards… C2PA, france hacking itself into citizen phones, the UK anti encryption law, EU’s chat control, etc. Im also sick of and hate the “you will own nothing and be happy” mentality that corpos try to...
I like Swoobat from Pokémon. It’s a nice loving type of guy. During courtship a male Swoobat produces waves that uplifts anyone hearing the waves. Also it sleeps upside down from its tail, not its feet. Its color scheme is nice - in the artwork at least, other sources have it take on a greenish hue instead of the nice blue...
Advice for now settled new Lemmy users.
Whether you are a Reddit refugee (I am one) or just randomly stumbled upon Lemmy and decided to join lemmy.world, welcome to the Fediverse....
Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help....
It's the gold rush over?
It’s been a while since I last seen anyone posting graphs showing user base growth. Are we past the initial rush and bleeding numbers now?

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

On romantic fantasy and OSR D&D. Romantic fantasy narratives, by contrast, are usually built around defeating evil by means other than overwhelming lethal force... which is like OSR... (udan-adan.blogspot.com)
