Liftoff. Just a plain, minimal, and stable experience.

Tactical Velcro Opening might apply in this situation.

While overall I agree with this, their work on advancing gaming on Linux makes it easy to look the other way.

Same as tumblr, still around, but largely irrelevant.

Woah slow down, we’re supposed to be hating cops right now so we forget about the rich exploiting us, stick to the program man

Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.

And we have a handful of large communities.

The instances get overloaded quickly and the IPs blocked by google/Microsoft/etc… Better off self-hosting.

Two subreddits that I check on occasion for information/memes, both of which I’m hoping will eventually gain traction here. I don’t have an account though.

Even instances that don’t federate are compatible with fedi clients afaik.

That’s to say, if Threads is truly compatible, you should be able to use any fedi client. I doubt it actually works.

I use Matrix with friends and family, we all moved from signal.

I made accounts for my family members on my homeserver and told them to sign in, so they didn’t have to register (slightly easier on boarding). They all figured it out with minimal hand-holding.

For my friends and coworkers, I just tell them “make an account on X instance, its a good one”, and they all figured it out.

I’ve been waiting for more users tbh.
