Absolutely. My unsolicited advice is to proceed with caution. I was there, many years ago, when the Internet changed from University access to a flood of the public. It has become known as the ‘Eternal September’.

From most person’s experience, during that transition, we all knew each other in real life. There wasn’t anonymity.

And, all of a sudden, there was anonymity. Thus, people could just say anything that they wanted without consequences.

Fast forward to now, and it’s a complete shit show. Where do we turn?

I was on FB before most people knew what it was. Trust me…I’m old :P…I deleted my original account many years ago.

Many years later, when I realized that certain family/friends would NOT get rid of it, I started a new account that I locked down.

I only use it to stay in touch with the aforementioned people.

I find, if you use it in this way, then there are no problems with ads or other bullshit.

minor PSA (bee-SA?): you should now be able to use the Blobbee emoji set under our emoji picker

we discovered this set the other day by olivvybee (Liv Asch), and obviously these are delightfully thematic for our instance. you should be able to find them in our emoji picker as follows. the emoji icon, at least on desktop, is the fourth from left smiley face on comment/post UI:...

Thanks for the recommendations!

(EDIT: Sadness canceled, read edit) Although relatable, I feel sad beehaw wants to leave lemmy (+ I propose talking to the inital sponsor of lemmy development to get moderation issues fixed)

EDIT: as one of the admins explained below, they plan to migrate to something whitch uses ActivityPub, which means that my concerns are gone. I liked the interactions between servers who are equally wholesome compared to beehaw, which will be possible after the migration because of ActivityPub. So therefore, my sadness is...

We’ve (the admins) already decided on the platform we will be moving to and it will make use of ActivityPub. We haven’t made a public announcement yet. That is coming soon.
