I haven’t been banned from Reddit.

I want Lemmy to succeed because I want to interact more with people who are not from the U.S., and I don’t want to use platforms from the people who were sitting behind him on inauguration day.

Since Elon feels that he can interfere in Reddit and since Reddit seems open to letting that happen, that’s a good sign to me that I should limit my use of Reddit and should use alternatives instead. Lemmy seems to be the most Reddit-like of those alternative platforms, so here I am.

As someone from the U.S., I was so hesitant to switch to another OS, but damn. With everything that’s going on, I kind of feel that I have to switch over to Graphene OS.

This is insane.

What international alternatives exist for YouTube? And I understand RedNote as an alternative for TikTok, but YouTube fills a little bit of a different niche.

Parrots can mimic humans too, but they don’t understand what we’re saying the way we do.

It’s interesting how humanity thinks that humans are smarter than animals, but that the benchmark it uses for animals’ intelligence is how well they do an imitation of an animal with a different type of brain.

As if humanity succeeds in imitating other animals and communicating in their languages or about the subjects that they find important.

The United States would be better with a lot more toasters.
