This is a desperately needed event. I was talking to my friends about how the internet has become so horribly concentrated to just a few mega-tech corporations. It has stifled innovation and creative freedom. The web has been strangled by the limitations of corporate greed.

Rexxit is awesome!

That is awesome. Thank you for explaining the formatting!

Dual boot Ubuntu/Win10 on one, and dual boot Mint/Win7 on another. If I can secure a stable internet connection I will switch the last machine to a server.

I’m a CS major, so I need all the experience I can get. I prefer Linux machines because I think the OS is superior in a number of ways.

Good question. I just found the built in search bar icon between the heart and bell. I wonder how posts and comments can be searched on different federated sites for a single user.

I’ve been using site:lemmy.ml “search term(s) here’” (remove quotes unless you want an exact match for the search terms) to find what I’m looking for on each federation instance. I feel like I’m missing something here.

That is a great way to look at it. I left FB at least 10 years ago. I ended up arguing with a family member and realized how pointlessly stupid the entire platform was for me. I didn’t use social media other than reddit for nearly a decade.

It’s just time to move on to the next thing. It’s weird because that jump has to happen with other people but not too many.

I would like to see:
