@breakfastmtn Thanks. So far I've tried Friendica, Misskey and Hubzilla, as well as three different Mastodon servers. So I do understand that Masto is not the whole fedi.
It's just that so far as I was concerned, "Lemmy" is a dead rock star who had a penchant for Nazi memorabilia.
I'd never heard of it as a fedi service until Chris' post, yesterday! ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@atomicpoet @BenDoubleU I feel it's worth pointing out in this context that from the perspective of a Masto server, this thread features several accounts with no avi, bio, follows or followers. I assume they're the Lemmy accounts?
As a Twitter vet I've developed an aversion to engaging *at all* with newly-created accounts lacking properly fleshed-out profiles!
But it's still cool there's these options. Perhaps the integration will improve?
@cstross @CinnasVerses @techtakes I also note how these people are obsessed with having a second everything: a second brain (you already have one in your skull); a second planet (you already live on one); a second paternalistic idol (so your real daddy wasn't perfect, get over it), etc.
It's as if reality is just too messy and inconvenient for them, so they want to build a whole, more pristine digital/virtual alternative for them to enjoy while the real world burns...with the rest of us on it.
