To each their own, and use whatever tool you prefer, but moving away from google and proprietary software is a lot easier than people think.

Cult of the Dead Cow

Self-host an instance with no karma and no mods.

Pretty sure Lemmy supports image hosting.

I've been using Graphene for years. Its great, no complaints.

What does "here" refer to? You're on Lemmy.world, your instance has never been a "leftist space" afaik.

Lemmy is software, not a "space". The network is ActivityPub, also not known for being "leftist".

PostmarketOS on oneplus6 is nice. 👍

Liftoff is perfect.

PeerTube! Check out TILvids for a good example.

This happened on Mastodon as well, I wouldn't worry about it too much. People are excited and they'll post about whatever they're feeling. As it goes away, people will stop talking about it.

Even OP itself is a mirror of what happened on Mastodon when Twitter shut down, people calling for an end to Twitter meta discussions.

I think having 100M+ users as a goal is unsustainable and unrealistic. I'm quite happy with where we're at, and optimistic about where we're going. If growth in the fediverse continues, we'll be ok.

My feed on Mastodon already moves quicker than I could ever keep up with.
