gary

Lmao I wake up in a fucking rage any time I let it get that far

For the first alarm, I use the default iPhone setting. For the second emergency alarm, I use Entombment of a Machine by Job For A Cowboy. I already wore that song out the better part of 20 years ago and it’s guaranteed to wake you up every time

Honestly with how much of a reality show the US already is, I’m surprised this hasn’t been tried and televised lol

I’m making the same transition kinda. I moved from Digg to Reddit over ten years ago. I was on Lemmy for a while more recently and then Digg rose from the ashes a couple months ago, but I’m realizing I like Lemmy/Piefed much more. I already had a trial run on breaking my social media habits when I left twitter though. I think a big part of it is realizing you don’t need a constantly updated firehose of useless information lol I’m still very online but probably like half of what I was when I was using Reddit and twitter. Now I have a blog, read a lot of RSS for that breaking, early news and I go to Lemmy for news with social commentary from normal people who aren’t influencers. I comment more here too because I’m not competing with millions of people to have an edgy top rated comment. I think the biggest thing is embracing smaller communities and going from there.

How do you even tariff a movie lol even if it was shot in another country it’s not like it’s this physical thing we have to import o.O

It’s still invite only for now but I’d imagine it has to be getting close to the public release. If I had any invite codes left I woulda sent you one! We might get more pretty soon though. If so I’ll dm you one but idk when they’re coming. And piefed is pretty much Lemmy, only it’s powered by Python instead of Rust and it has more moderation features. Pretty similar experience though. You’re not really missing anything if you’re already on Lemmy. Right now, Lemmy/Piefed are definitely more active and mature than Digg. It looks pretty slick but there aren’t a whole lot of users yet. I do like it, I just like it here better right now.

Digg.com used to be my absolute favorite. Then it got bought out by a company who turned it into a content farm and it eventually died out. Now it’s back and owned by Kevin Rose again, and I do like it a lot better than Reddit, but I still spend more time on Piefed these days.

That’s like a leftist trying to start a clique on truth social lol
