When I asked someone about it, they basically used them like bookmarks.

It’s not supposed to answer the question. It’s pointing out that the mental model and assumptions behind the question are flawed, and thus the question itself is flawed.

with a single account (isn’t that the point of the fediverse?).

Absolutely not. I’m not sure why people see Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, Loops, etc as all the same thing that should all be one app.

They might communicate with the same protocol, but they have vastly different uses, interfaces, styles, and experience. It’s like saying you want one vehicle that drives like a motorcycle, haules the kids around, gets great mileage, and can tow 20,000lbs.

All your tools fit in the same toolbox, but you use each one separately for the use it’s best suited. Then you put it down and pick up another. Sure you can make a multi-tool but it won’t do any job as well as a proper dedicated tool. It’ll just kinda work if you have no better option.

Taller is more expensive. That’s all.
If you have the space to go wider, that’s what everyone does.

Yah. But you realize that someone could simply lie to you right?

Thata what focus means.
If you’re spliting your focus onto several things, you’re not actually focusing anymore.

Cheaper. More flexable.

We’re not just looking at individual “donations” to single politicians. But hundreds of them, to all the politicians. And even more to create a massive “People’s PAC” that gets continuous reliable funding for donations, adds, fake studies and all the other crap we have to fight.

They go to the highest bidder.
And the wealthy have enough now to outbid whatever we come up with.

Even large groups of people can’t put together enough money.
It also costs a lot of money to organise that kind of thing.

It’s all a question of do you run out of memory often?

If you were going from 16 to 32GB, I’d say no. Because you probably don’t max out the 16GB every day. Maybe you do. There are ways that could happen.

But with only 8GB, you’re likely hitting that limit often. So yes I’d go to a slower 16GB in a heartbeat.

Sure! People used to use them for journaling all the time.

Everyone used to have a blog, until the big social media “platforms” kinda took over the internet.

You could try substack. They make it easy to monetize your blog.

I never had a problem with the moderation. Just the platform enshittifying to maximize profit.

So you want people to listen to you, while you don’t have to listen to them. That’s called a blog. Try WordPress or something.

Then you switched for the wrong reasons.
You could always go back.
Or start your own server.

Option A: Try it.
Option B: Ask for details about why it’s better.
Option C: Ignore them.
Option D: Destroy the thing or person they love most in this world, and coldly smile at their lamentation.

Nope

Also there is a massive difference between a few dozen thousand dollars, and just one thousand.

That’s literally the point of this community.
It’s a place specifically for what many would concider “Stupid Questions”. If your not here for that kind of thing, you’re in the wrong place.

Maybe you should start “No! Stupid Question”
