Hey, you’re on the Fediverse. You’ll rarely see anyone promote anything that isn’t decentralised, even less that is not FOSS.

Friendica, Mobilizon and Hubzilla can all be compared to Facebook. I have an accound on Friendica and I like how well it supports federation with all Fediverse platforms, from Mastodon to Lemmy.

Same as with most artists, go to their website and you’ll find the bandcamp/faircamp/etc page, in this case:

• https://galaxie500.bandcamp.com/
• https://damonandnaomi.bandcamp.com/

There are plenty of better ways to obtain music, such as actually buying the music instead of streaming it. And, hey, that’s like saying you’d stay on Reddit because that’s where the content is. Ethics should come before easy entertainment.

The best way is always to buy the music directly from the artist, in this case:

• https://galaxie500.bandcamp.com/
• https://damonandnaomi.bandcamp.com/

I love Weird Al! But pretty sure this was hyperbole. The point still stands, though. It really is depressing that people just follow “everybody else” when giving abusive megacorporations money. Same with social media, especially when there are great, healthy, ethical alternatives to be found is the Fediverse.

Edit: I’ll just link pixelfed just because…

There was a spam account that posted innocent seeming links to gore content.

Oh, you’re too kind. I can’t nearly compete with the masterpieces shown over at alttexthalloffame.org :))

Yes, and the user. I’ll report them on their home instance as well.

I usually check alt text before shamelessly stealing it, but you caught me there! Here’s the source: https://wetdry.world/@boxy/111455959207468101

Found it on Mastodon, I don’t know if it’s the original source. The XKCD does have a good point, of course. But I mean, if we’d all think like that, no good standards would ever develop, so people shouln’t cite it as a fundamental truth everywhere and avoid all meaningful discussion.

In case you’re wondering, all the symbols are green.

Depends on the client. Website doesn’t make it clickable, Jerboa can open it locally without problems, Eternity also opens it locally but has problems loading.

No, it’s the original comment that got deleted (probably by the creator), and then some clients don’t show the following thread because they have no top-level comment to attach to.
