Dropbox works pretty well for me, however I’m planning on building my own home server with nextcloud setup as soon as I can.

I have a friend that complains constantly about Twitter, how its going downhill and he doesn’t agree with what their doing and all that. Yet, he insists on using it everyday. I’ve suggested Mastodon and he said that “everyone is on Twitter” and then complains about it. Couldn’t believe that I deleted my Twitter account without a second thought.
People are strange.
I’ve noticed smaller groups work really well. Once they get too large they start to devolve into in-fighting causing smaller sub-groups within the main. It’s almost as if we’re just not designed as a species to communicate with this many people all at once…
Honestly the issue isn’t Reddit, it’s just people. Most people are decent to great, with a smaller group of bad to horrible. With more people on Reddit the pool of bad to horrible is bigger, and they tend to be the loudest of the bunch.
Anti-virus software is like a condom. If you don’t go sticking your computer in places it doesn’t belong you won’t really need one.
I recently realized, while dealing with some screen flickering with the most recent Nvidia drivers, that I had never used Linux without a Nvidia GPU. I’ve always had them in my computer so I always installed the driver. Lately I play mostly older games so I decided to remove the GPU and let my i9 sort out the graphics.
When I say it was a NIGHT AND DAY difference in overall quality I’m not kidding. Everything was buttery smooth and any lingering thoughts of missing Windows faded away. Honestly felt like I bought a new computer.
Now I’ve decided to sell my Nvidia GPU on eBay and either grab an AMD card or be bold and pick up an Intel Arc 750.
So in short, to echo Linus himself, fuck Nvidia.
Just Reddit. You can request you data from them. For whatever reason it takes a few days (up to 30 from what they say) so I had to wait for it to come in.
I deleted my account the other day actually, once the backup was complete. I’m sure most will stay on Reddit but honest Lemmy is better off. Sure, there isn’t as much content but most of the content on Reddit isn’t really worth any one’s time anyway.
New communities are popping up all the time here and it’s great to see.
Not to long ago I would of said Fedora but recently I’ve switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I’m really enjoying it. Still learning the ins and outs though.
I started out in the 90’s calling them directories and still do for the most part. However, if I’m speaking to the average person I get a strange look when I say directory.
Like a lot of people here have already said, I think a different space is being created for those that are more in the know. The average person just isn’t as invested or versed in what’s going on to move to a different platform when the current is working fine for them.
I agree with you of course, proven by where we are having this conversation. However, I have my doubts about the majority of Reddit users switching, at least currently. Most people don’t understand what is going on and are even more confused by the alternatives.
Because they don’t have too be. Most people are so dependent on social media that they’ll keep using a service even though they hate it. Like a drug addict who keeps using even though it’s killing them.
