    I’m glad I’m here, but I do hate that most of my tech questions are answered at the other place when I search.

      That’s largely down to the way search engines, especially Google (who now have an AI deal with Reddit, so an incentive to push people there), promote Reddit answers.

      Also Lemmy hasn’t been around as long, so doesn’t have the same depth of the knowledge base but it isn’t short on techie users. If you don’t need an instant answer then ask here and you will probably get an answer pretty quickly. Plus you will help expand the depository of answers here.

      Its fucking Discord for me. Why are so many things hosted there???

      I was getting into Balatro Modding. The Discord had tons of mods while my usual go-to site was dead.

    Always proud to be here, since the momentous mod and API protest days at the orangered site, but we still have work to be done, including fostering discussion and quality fannish content beyond the bounds of the Western part of our globe.

    Oh yeah, we are indeed in a sort of calm-before-a-storm moment regarding the Internet itself, as if the proverbial storm, as Emperor pointed out, is now big tech companies and their corporate cohorts, against a cache of genuine humanity at hand.
