They have people astroturfing hard right now arguing that reddit is not wrong for anything they are doing

I’m in the process of setting up a raspberry pi to host an instance, but the documentation is not super helpful. I’ll slog through it and issue a PR once co.plete so others may not have the same issues.

Chrome for anything Google related. Firefox + NoScript for most browsing. I have pi-hole running on my network and don’t permit anything but that node to query outbound for DNS.

I wasn’t too keen on Twitter and mostly spent time on reddit. When Mastodon came out I was intrigued, but the interface just wasn’t something I was into. Lemmy seems way more up my alley.

I think for certain technology and privacy focused individuals, Mastodon and Lemmy are the way forward. Some people will always prefer a centralized solution or just don’t care enough to make the switch. They will continue to be the userbase of websites like Digg, Reddit, and Twitter.

Hacker News, Ars Technica, and I guess now Lemmy :)
