Wait, I can just register there? The FAQ says I have to do it over shell using maint but I never saw option for it in maint. So been confused.

I’ll take the sword that glows brightly while hungry. Given I always feel hungry, I’ll blind everyone then stab them.

I feel you with this. Covid has made me completely bed bound and social media of one kind or another has been my only socializing for 3 years. Though Reddit isn’t one of the main ones for me, it does pain me to see some areas of assistance has gone away.

I came from days of dialup and gone through yahoo groups, Myspace, tons of geocity sites, ask jeevs, LiveJournal, and so on. Sites will only be an attraction tell something comes that offers more. With federation and decentralized systems coming up, the hold on people and corporations trying to use you as a commodity will only tarnish the shine that it once was. When companies hold a noose around your neck thinking there isn’t another option, telling you to go ahaid and jump, thinking no one will and when something comes by that makes the jump just a step down and you can take off the noose, there is nothing that they can hold onto anymore. They cannot say you have nowhere else to go. With the choice around in a federated system, you cannot be held hostage by a single entity. When people have the freedom of choice, the people win.

It seems I am moving to Lemmy just in time then.

Hiya! I am new as well! I just got approved today and am so excited as well.

Hello World! I just got approved today and have been getting use to how it is here and rest of the federated Lemmy. I’m an exile from Reddit and I knew of SDF for quite a while but it took the push from Reddit to come over and sign up for the ssh and Lemmy. So far I am glad to be here and am planning to make ARPA payment when I get my check.

Also if anyone has interesting suggestions or places in the federated Lemmy, let me know. I’m still getting use to here.
