if you create a fresh new unlinked tiktok account and start swiping, most content will be vaccine propaganda, jordan peterson, and right-wing rhetorics.
they’d never do that. then they’d be killing the housing bubble as well. think of the investors!
Zorin is designed to be a Windows replacement, but my personal recommendation is LinuxMint. Sure it’s not trying to be a carbon copy of Windows, but it’s designed to be easy to learn, stable, functional, and support pretty much everything from the get go (just not bleeding edge), with a readily available store that lets you download everything you need (that isn’t already included in the install).
People are also trying to use discord like a traditional forum, that doesn’t mean they should, and they are suffering for it. There is this thing called “use the tool for the job”, if you use the wrong tool, then that’s not really an issue of the tool, it’s an issue of the user.
neither reddit nor lemmy are social media platforms in the “conventional” sense. you have no value of identity (save for upvotes, which are meaningless) and it is probably proper etiquette to create new accounts every few months/year to ensure the crawlers can’t identify your user to a shadow profile anyway. losing your user account doesn’t mean anything because these platforms don’t really support an influencer type ecosystem anyway (oh sure, reddit now allows you to follow users and want you to sign up with email etc to lock you in, but don’t get baited) and the content you post should mainly be links, pictures or discussion topics that will fade away from value within an average of 24 hours.
Mastodon.social didn’t have load issues though, they just wanted to promote federation for the health of the network, and growth slowed down considerably because of it. Not that it was a bad move, but if lemmy wants to absorb reddits userbase it will not work, because elon musk isn’t a constant presence of vile encouraging migration unlike on twitter. reddit knows how to manage negative users, just look at what they did about alien blue. 4 years of premium and all was forgotten/forgiven.
chats are fine. the real problem is facebook groups that replaced traditional forums. i mean, it’s essentially just a simplified discussion board designed around “the flow”, and as thus, is no way to share and distribute information, especially since you can’t really navigate it in a way to find the right answer. so every day it’s the same five questions asked over and over again, and with facebooks rules on trade for non-corporate entities, it’s essentially killing some hobby industries. though, you’re right in that a lot of people have also moved to discord as some kind of forum replacement, and it’s even worse for the purpose of information distribution.
not that reddit or lemmy are any better. i mean, they suffer the same problem due to the way information is meant to work on them, yet people use them as forum replacements.
basically, the real problem is that people have abandoned traditional forums and use these convenient platforms as replacements. but it loses a lot of functionality along the way. and it’s a sacrifice that most people just don’t care about due to the convenience.
This is not really helpful considering the flagship client is Element, which runs on electron. It’s a huge bottleneck.

frankly, i find the name enough on the nose to be brilliant. love it.
WriteFreely isn’t really a community platform, just a clean and simple blogging platform with a paid exclusive interaction module.
A lot of devs are looking to cross-platform with mobile now, too.
SteamDeck is probably on many developers mind as well. Valve really need to focus on battery life (the only negative imo) and I don’t see that happening by improving overall hardware power use for better performing chips.
Furthermore, both apple and microsoft are now shifting their hardware platform focus to ARM.
things are shifting away from the top end raw power. so it makes a lot of sense, really.
marketing marketing marketing. and timing the crypto madness, which gave them a huge marketshare and free word-of-mouth marketing access.
Brave puts most of their resources into marketing rather than development of the browser itself (unless the development helps with the marketing opportunity, like crypto).
i don’t use the mobile clients, only desktop. but for comparison, nheko is lightning fast and smooth (like telegram). but has a ton of bugs and lacks a lot of features (not to mention the interface isn’t very appealing). no client for matrix except for element offers all the current features because element is the main client used for development of the service and protocol.
people always want to argue when i say electron sucks. fact of the matter is, electron do suck, the reason most developers nowdays choose to use it is simply because it takes no effort to develop software with the thousands of free frameworks and resources on the market and the ability to make a multi-platform client with zero effort through electron, it’s also very easy to maintain. but this comes at a cost, no amount of optimization will fix the inherent issues of electron no matter how much you will it. again, electron sucks.
tauri is the future, as it seeks to resolve all the inherent issues with electron. but it is not mature enough yet for the market.
edit: full disclosure, i don’t actually use telegram for anything and i don’t support telegram at all. i don’t trust it and i don’t think anyone else should either. but i’m not going to deny the masterpiece that is the desktop client from a user point of view.
photosynthesis?
As much as I would love for matrix to be the champion of all chat protocols (I use it as my primary myself). It is undeniable that Telegram has by far the best chat client on the market. It is the only modern and fully featured non-electron chat client available, it’s lightning fast and smooth as fuck, and always ‘just works’ and without mobile/connect nonsense, which is what the enduser want. Matrix is awesome as a concept, but the only client worth your time is Element, which is clunky, slow, and buggy - of course, most of the blame is on electron. It certainly doesn’t help that the most stable server, matrix.org, also tends to bug out from time to time.
i like how piracy largely died because of how good netflix was, and now when it’s back because of hollywood gutting netflix and setting up a million streaming services no one can afford; they realize piracy is back and insist on dealing with piracy by cracking down on the users, instead of, you know, recognizing the reason for why it’s back, and offering the solution that actually worked the first time around.
even if that’s the case, cooperation from the satellite instances wouldn’t be hard. since, as it’s been said, .ml domains are bad for a myriad of reasons, so for the future of the project and everyone participating, it would be in the best interest of everyone to do this. especially this early on, before it gets too big to execute such action.
eh? do people still use reddit even? last i heard they have employees actively create threads now to try and keep engagement going.
