Are lots of websites really going downhill and/or closing or does it just seem like it to me?

Like many people I'm here because of reddit going to shit. Twitter has increasingly been shit. gycat is shutting down in September. To me it seems like lots of bastions of social media are crumpling, but as a previous active reddit user, I've been personally effected. Is this just a frequency illusion or has something changed...

It should happened years ago. The fact that "free speech" has been gardened, moderated and owned by companies like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit is mad. Kbin, Lemmy and Mastodon gives individuals the tools needed to retake their power of expression, for good and for bad. Together with Pixelfed and Nextcloud all needs are met - except for server hosting, that is.

Incredible cute, my good sir. Might I ask which dog breed the great and courageous Banjo adheres to?

I love the image, although as with most AI-generated art it's something dream-like about it as when you look close it looses definition and form.

    @be49045474d8234adbd38dff67bbb9@mostr.pub Yeah, it worked so well for them the last time they thought Finland was a walk-over. Especially now when Finland is part of NATO.

    I love the fact that coffee fueled the enlightenment and the western world as we see it today. Without it the world we live in would not be the same. So let's enjoy a freshly brewed cup of gods nectar ☕️ and elaborate on what's next.

    @Kainsmasquerade The rationale behind this is that before coffee arrived to Europe, most people drank beer and other alcoholic beverages (due to water being unsuited for consumption). Tea but to a larger extent coffee grew into popularity as an alternative to beer. And where alcohol has alot of negative effets such as violence, coffee makes people focus and discuss instead of brawl.

    So a lot of coffee shops sprung up, replacing taverns and bars, and became popular meeting spots for the intellectual elite. It's in the cafees where Voltaire and his gang (rumour has it Voltire drank 40 cups of coffee every day) met to discuss what would be the foundation for the enlightenment and the western way of life.

    And as an interesting sidenote, I find it quite interesting that its after the introduction of coffee that we start to see giant leaps of technology, while the technology progress had been extremely slow for thousands of years before. In a couple of hundred years we have trains, cars, aeroplanes, United Nations, space rockets, submarines and much more. it's interesting what potential humans has when we discuss and cooperate instead of fights.

    And key to this is gods nectar. At least IMHO.

    Många svenska bibliotek är anslutna till en tjänst (Libby/Overdrive) där man - när man ha riggat sig med sitt bibliotekskort - kan låna både ljudböcker och e-böcker. Det är en superb tjänst som rekommenderas varmt.
