How did posting online change from, "Be careful what you put online!" to many sharing a lot under real names? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Definitely Facebook's policy of demanding real world names and crushing down on anonymity and pseudonyms, around 2014: https://www.protocol.com/policy/anonymity-real-names-jeff-kosseff#toggle-gdpr

Yes, started using it about a year ago and it's amazing how much easier it is.

I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse

There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.

What reason could Zuckerberg and Meta possibly have for wanting to create a federated social media site? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Yes, a very good article. I have the feeling I have another peace of the puzzle now.

You cant even avoid irrelevant results with "site:" anymore in c/technology@lemmy.world

Same here - only Reddit results.

What app is everyone using for Lemmy in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[-] Mateng@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I am using Liftoff and Jerboa with lemmy.ml - I prefer Liftoff. Lemmy.ml is pretty slow recently.
I also have a kbin account with subscriptions to the same communities, and on mobile I am using the web app: Howto install a web app.

mastodon's growth in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

It says

User Count Bot for all known Mastodon instances

Is that not true? Does it count Lemmy and kbin users, too?

It’s Time to End the Tyranny of Ultra-Processed Food in c/news@kbin.social
[-] Mateng@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

From the article:

People who live with diet-related diseases, especially obesity, usually have a strong feeling of guilt, thinking they are the problem due to their own lack of willpower. Researchers now know this isn’t true. This food has been engineered to be addictive. We need to shift the blame away from the population.

Just a detail, but yes! Legislators, please help our society to not suffer under the downsides of capitalism.

Fediverse won't replace Reddit as long as Lemmy is the main platform being promoted in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

In my experience, lemmy.ml and feddit.de (for example) are in more left wing then milquetoast progressives. It's faszinating and refreshing, and I don't mind people speaking their minds. But I prefer moderate, too.

I would rather say that the average Redditor is milquetoast progressive. Heck, I start to really enjoy this phrase 😉.
