Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies. (fedia.io)

At least it's not X/Twitter

Yea, nah. Say what you want about X, but Meta is in a whole other league than X. In my communities it's monopolising to a large degree:

  • finding housemates/sharehouses,
  • buying/selling second-hand goods online,
  • info on events,
  • news-updates for community groups, and even
  • shift swaps at work

amongs others. All essential services that Meta took over one by one.

X on the other hand is just a micro-blogging platform.
