With the recent happenings in the United States, the dangers of the privately owned Internet is more apparent than ever, and frankly, it’s scary. And so I’d like to make a simple request to anyone who is reading this; Please use the Fediverse, just a little more.

I personally hate it when I’m stuck having to visit say, YouTube or Reddit to get information, or to entertain myself in quiet moments, and if you’re reading this, the likely chance is you’re the same.

All I want to ask of you is to just comment a few more times, press send on that post that you felt wasn’t of enough substance to be worth anyone’s time. We have such a small community compared to everywhere else, but what we do have in common is that, in the grand scheme of things, we are the early adopters. And if we take that to heart and make this space a little bigger, maybe it will be just big enough we won’t have to visit walled gardens so often.

Thank you :)

    What iphone apps do yall use? Rnow I’m using loops for the tiktokclond (hoping more creators join and post there) and mlem for lemmy (liking it more than voyager, arctic seems cleaner but I got used to this interface). Does anyone have a good mastadon app they reccomend? I’m using bluesky since getting an okay feed was easier there, not sure if thats the apps fault. I do like an algorithim just not one based on controversy.

      I use Ice Cubes for Mastodon.

      I’m one of the Mlem developers; I’m glad you’re enjoying it :) You could also consider trying the Mlem beta if you haven’t already. It’s about 8 months’ worth of development ahead of the App Store version. The reason why we haven’t updated the App Store version in so long is because the beta version doesn’t have all of the moderation tools yet (due to it being a full rewrite), and we don’t want to take those tools away from moderators who use Mlem.

          Just checked Arctic and noticed that there are a lot more text features as well compared to Voyager… It’s the little things as these apps are all start to come together.
