When I think of all the horrible shit that goes on in the world, the thing that keeps me going is that Greta Thunburg is responsible for the Tates getting arrested. Life is wonderful sometimes.
I'm all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.
So I know everyone will hate this suggestion, but the most battery efficient and privacy-oriented option is to use Google maps location sharing. Google already has your location through Google Play services, and uses that to update it. It is essentially real time, and you don't need to give your info over to a random new company.
Unless you have fully de-googled, this is probably the best and easiest option.
Dang that's actually really sad. Omegle, for all its faults, was sort of like the weird alleyway that you could go to and know that you'd have some kind of interesting experience.
I'm sad to see it gone.
Maybe not the solution, but the ideal answer would be a conversation and family therapy
They are allowed to exist, but they don't need to advertise for them.
Especially in the place where casual people go to sign up. Can you imagine someone picking a random server and then suddenly seeing that shit? They would stop using lemmy completely.
Fuck that lol. I wake up at 7:55, open my laptop, clock in at 7:56, then bring my laptop into the kitchen and eat breakfast.
Corporations who are pushing the narrative that people don't like this are out of their mind.
Oh shit, everyone this is big. This is the big one. On reddit, Reddit WAS Sync. It was why I started using reddit in the first place.
Now, Lemmy is Sync. Lets gooo
Was Twitter ever really a left leaning platform in the first place? It pretty much always felt like it was filled with Russian bots and maga shit.
So I guess good job Musk for burning down a shit website? Lol
As a side note, Mastodon is legitimately fantastic. The community there is genuinely nice.
If you live anywhere outside of the US, the question is irrelevant, because everyone uses whatsapp etc.
Within the US, if you are over the age of 30, it probably doesn't matter.
if you are under the age of 30 AND in the US, I mean, if someone does judge you for it, you at least have a great way to filter shitty people out of your life lol.
Like I get that is what we probably are getting, and fine, he is better than whatever the republicans are putting forward, so I'll vote for him.
But
Come on
I wish, so much, we had a better candidate
So this is probably a plan to call out Elon musk's stupid "pay to sign a petition" plan. Basically just buying votes. The more attention these schemes get, the more likely they will be made officially illegal.
Sort of a Satanic Temple maneuver. I like it.
