So, this is the place where I'm going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts, and I also have a Nooki account.

I'm also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I'm making this my primary Lemmy account now.

I'll link the other socials I'm varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I'm demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.

  • Amber Heard

    Jump

  • Ahh... Amber Turd, the bed shitter.

  • Does anybody know what this outlet is for?

    Jump

  • Old phone outlet.

  • Australians will be able to switch off social media algorithms under planned legislation

    Jump

  • Damn, first legitimately good thing I've seen come out of that country in a while as far as legislation is concerned.

  • Discord Is Bringing Back Age Verification for Millions of Users

    Jump

  • Good thing Matrix and XMPP exist as alternatives.

    If I start getting straight-up locked out of Discord unless I show my face or ID, I'mma just stop using it full stop.

    I mean, shit, Discord's already getting ridiculous with their Nitro ads. No, Discord, I don't want Nitro, stop asking me. No needs to start meaning no again.

  • What's an animal that's MUCH cuter as an adult?

  • Mud daubers or damselflies in a 'Ghibli characters come to life' way. Those things look like they flew straight out of a Ghibli flick.

  • Why is the Internet reverting to the 90s?

    Jump

  • That also probably drives the Fediverse's adoption as well because people are tired of getting walled in by hostile corporations.

  • Peertube instance to recommend to a group of people new to the platform?

    Jump

  • If you don't have a lot of content to move over, and rarely post, I'm pretty happy on peertube.wtf, however there's a 100GB limit and you can only upload 10GB a day. Meanwhile if you're at active YTer with a lot of content, CuddlyTube also seems pretty good from a cursory glance and has no upload limits. Oh, and if you're considering MakerTube, they're paywalled now because of some shit going on at Hetzner, so let that be your warning for going with that instance, and spectra.video's also considering paywalling for the same reason that MakerTube is paywalled.

    You could also self-host if you have the hardware on hand or can afford the VPS to, and you have the admin skills to pull it off.

  • Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choice

    Jump

  • and it’s likely any project that integrates it, with be “extinguished” via legal action in the future.

    That would mean killing the entire internet whose servers run Linux, because the kernel is messing with AI now.

  • OpenAI Hoarding Tens Of Thousands Of Apple Mac mini And Mac Studio Devices, As ASUS And MSI Burn Through Their Entire First Batch Of NVIDIA RTX Spark Chip And Beg For More.

    Jump

  • Madoff Altman is at it again.

  • Nitter might be no more, but Twitter is back (sort of)

    Jump

  • If you're a creator who still primarily or exclusively posts to Twitter after Nitter was killed off, you're not gonna have an audience outside of Twitter anymore moving forward. Meanwhile Mastodon will let people see or even interact with your content without a Mastodon account as anyone can see a public post without an account, period, and anyone with an account on any ActivityPub or ActivityPub-compatible platform can interact with Mastodon posts.

    If you want to post your own content on a public instance, you do need an account for that, though, or you can self-host.

    But basically, if you're still posting exclusively to Twitter, you won't have an audience outside of Twitter anymore, while someone on PIxelfed could interact with a Mastodon post or vice-versa, for example.

  • Facebook Is Drowning In Islamophobic AI Slop Calling for Violence Against Muslim Americans

    Jump

  • You think Meta is generating most of it themselves to intentionally stoke Islamophobia? They're evil enough to do that and they have a past history of this sorta thing.

  • Can public media build its own social network? Chicago Public Media teams up with New_ Public to try: chicago.com

    Jump

  • Hypothetically a given public media service could host their own Fediverse instance if they can afford to maintain it, and they should if they can pull it off.

  • Which fictional universe do you wish you lived in?

    Jump

  • They'd be a fun snow generator too, though, provided the outside weather is already cold enough to support snow, that is.

    Ooh, Charmander could use his Flamethrower attack to fire hardened and glazed pottery in a pottery class too. Who needs a kiln in the Pokemon world when the finished pots can be placed in a pit for a cute little fire lizard to use his Flamethrower attack to fire them instead? Surely someone's depicted this in fanart already and I'm not the only one to think of it.

  • Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year.

    Jump

  • Maybe the reason Mastodon never got off the ground is because Bsky basically strangled them by popping up out of nowhere and stealing their potential userbase?

  • Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year.

    Jump

  • Beyond that, the fact that Bsky came up out of nowhere and ate Mastodon's lunch around that time just reeks of hostility to me.

  • YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money

    Jump

  • No, AFAIK they still push ads on you whether you're monetized or not.
