So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.

I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

    That puts you at a disadvantage though. You live in the west. If we take this approach. You get executed.

    Literally, we drag you out of your home in front of your family and put a bullet in your brain.

    Why don’t you fear this? Why aren’t you going to china? It’s easy, a plane ticket costs 350 euros for me to Shanghai. You’re western and thus you have enough money most likely, as you’ve been extracting money within the imperial core.

    So, immigrating in china should be quite easy.

    My boss worked in Beijing and Shanghai, if he can do that, so can you.

    Why are you still not within the great firewall of china?

            When only 20 to 30% of revolutions lead to prosperity. Optimism is definitely a necessity.

              Without revolution, things stay the same. Risk death on your feet or live on your knees.

              Sometimes you can get lucky and avoid revolution, and we should always strive for those peaceful alternatives, but sometimes there’s no other choice.

                You act like we don’t have some of the best lives imaginable. It’s not the 1850s, the industrial phase is long done. Thank your ancestors and enjoy

                    In china and USA but not in Europe. Maybe we should have a great firewall of Europe to stop seeing people behave like monkeys

                    Aight, personally. Every single person I know, has a great life economically.

                    Median net wealth in Belgium is 250k euros.

                    Our cost of living is also lower than yours, so… turn that into 350k USD maybe to have an idea of how it feels.
