overview for 0x4E4F

I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

This should be normal. Body odors are a normal thing, it's how we identify as a species and amongst us. If you try and surpess it frequently, yes, the body will most likely react and produce more of it.

I know that I can use the official Shazam app, but the fact that I use a closed-source app, having almost all my apps open-source, that really bothers me 🥲

This doesn't really bother me to be honest... it's music after all, everyone benefits from it, even if they have some of my data and use it.

I will have to thank you for the info though... about the app I mean... I was looking for something like that to run on Linux ☺️.

Yep, exactly like that on AliExpress 👍 (guess they stole the design and idea 😂... great, at least we can get them for next to nothing 😂). I just called them keyboards cuz they recognize as a keyboard in the OS 😂.

But over time, the communities I liked have faded as shitposting and meme communities have come to dominate the platform.

That is perfectly normal with almost any social media platform, forums included.

There seems to be more of a herd mentality now, where people downvote reasonable opinions they disagree with.

This seems to be because of the large number of US selfcentered liberals that decided to stick to the platform after the Reddit migration. There is no solution for that. Everyone has a voice on the internet.

The discussions don't feel as nuanced.

Agreed.

Some people have even been attacked for innocuous comments that don't align with the prevailing groupthink.

Mhm, keep going...

I want Lemmy to succeed, but right now I'm finding myself drawn back to Reddit because the niche communities there seem more active.

The dust settled down, most people moved back to Reddit. This was inevitable. Change is a hard thing for most people, even more so when you have to deal with a completely different set of rules and choices you previously had no control over (like choosing an instance).

I'll keep checking in, but Lemmy needs to recapture its original spirit if I'm going to make it my main home.

Don't mean to bust your balls, but this will probably never happen. There will be ups and downs in the user count on Lemmy and the fediverse, based on how bad the other commercial social media platforms are doing, but a significant spike?... as with the Reddit migration?... not likely. That was a one time thing, and it only happened because this was never tried before. Now that it has, this will likely not be a viable alternative for most people that want to migrate. Hosting my own seever, paying fees or doing it on a someone else's server, just so that it goes down and takes down the content with it 🤨. Trust me, this is not an option most people are OK with. People like stability and sustainability (especially in niche communities, memes and shitpoats don't need that at all) and that is one thing that the fediverse can't give them... unless you host your own instance... but then you have to pay fees 😒.

Bottom line, Lemmy and the fediverse is good for tech enthusiasts, nothing more. If everyone on the planet knew how to configure and run a Linux server, docker and all that, 90% of TLDs were free, yes, it will most probably thrive, but if any of these conditions are not met... probably not.
