I did not realize you were OP (or even had a Lemmy account) 😂

I love the TOS Mudd episodes (and Roger Carmel's performance) but I have to agree with everything you said.

Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn't caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It's great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.

@rysiek@mstdn.social's blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.

Same. I have a hard time not pulling that slot machine wheel if it's there. It's nice to have a feed of just the topics I requested from the communities I know are well moderated. Despite spending less time and consuming less content I actually feel more informed.

I'm still waiting on an Okana spinoff simply titled Star Trek: Outrageous

Honestly curious... what exactly are you doing in a community who's stated goal is to evangelize the Lemmy network?

I think the most effective reply is highlighting their methodology and moving on, rather than allowing yourself to be bogged down in rebuttals. You can never convince them because they are not "debating" earnestly, and the audience they are performing for isn't interested in following a debate and will dismiss both sides.

 

I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

 

Note that r/coolguides is a very "normie" subreddit and may require extra handholding. There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand what "open source" means. Some looking for "The Lemmy app" etc. Be patient and helpful!
