Fediverse

I've literally just signed up because of the Reddit policy changes killing off third-party apps, and I'm already confused by some of the conversations on here about the "fediverse" and some stuff about Threads and EEE (whatever that is).

I'm just like, I wanted an alternative to Reddit, what the hell is all this? 😂 Even signing up to this was confusing and I consider myself more tech-savvy than most. I think the process needs to be made simpler to encourage more ex-redditors to sign up.

No. Not really. But I’m sure it did a month ago.

Did you just call me old? 🥺

frick, I check all three boxes (36, software developer and currently a KDE Neon user)

I think it’s only older people who remember what the internet was like before everything became corporate controlled or SEO optimized.

A not so smart genz member here, and I believe we need a little bit more time for other genz fellas to actively post here.

2/3 unless we count my pixel phone which honestly barely does. but yes it's mostly enthusiasts and that will be fine if we get enough movement.

Guilty

3 for 3 here. I'm not here to buy things. I'm here to disseminate and consume information/news, ask and answer questions, and learn things.

I'll have you know I am not (yet!) a Linux user. (Later this year, maybe.)

Gen-X, and have been working in technology for 27 years. I run windows as a daily driver but also am running a few host machines in my house with multiple Linux VMs. It's a mix of RockyOS, Ubuntu and arch VMs. Not a single GUI on any of them.

Yep, I'm all three...

I feel personally attacked...!

I fit none of your 3 categories! But I would say with the slightly less convenient joining process compared to most social media, the Fediverse is going to have to built up by people willing to take that burden, at least at first

Check. Check. And check.

• ~~30 years old or older - nope~~
• tech enthusiasts/workers - ummm yea, both
• linux users - yeah, on linux now

danggiitt.... 2/3
