I’m so curious about what causes this way of thinking. This person is suffering because they’ve had Covid twice, they currently work from home, and they’re considering just never seeing people in person ever again so they don’t get reinfected.

Then in the comments they admit they never wear a mask. So rather than wear a mask when they socialize they think they need to go full hermit, and it’s distressing enough to them that they’re going to reddit to ask about it. Yet they’ve never considered just wearing a mask.

What kind of mental illness is this??

La traduction automatique fait aujourd'hui partie de nos quotidiens.

D'actions volontaires des utilisateur·ices aux traductions automatiques proposées par des géants comme #Google ou #Reddit, celle-ci est aujourd'hui omniprésente.

Mais quelles conséquences a-t-elle sur les personnes dont la traduction est le métier ?

Reddit is on fire. They just figured out that the Nintendo Switch 2 will cost around 700$.
Now they are ready to fight for freedom. Enough is enough.

Parece que en Reddit algunos Subreddits van a a pasar a muro de pago, no se si afectará a alguno de los que sigo, algunos no me importa demasiado como los NSFW, pero otros he sacado información de calidad y sin tener que matarme navegando por cientos de páginas esos si me joderían.

En caso de que eso pase espero que las comunidades de Lemmy equivalentes crezcan y den entonces igual o mejor información, eso creo que sería muy bueno para Lemmy

Lemmy as an non-US alternative to Reddit, using people-owned servers

Here's a post that explains what Lemmy is - it's a decentralised link aggregator that's an alternative to Reddit .

See: https://old.reddit.com/r/BoycottUnitedStates/comments/1jrcrh6/lemmy_as_an_nonus_alternative_to_red_dit_using/

It lists some of the largest Lemmy instances by country, as well as an FAQ on how it works.

We've been boosting a bunch of posts from Lemmy instances, since it's based on ActivityPub protocol, so it's interopable with Mastodon.

But we're thinking of joining Lemmy, just to be able to use and test it and form an opinion. The tricky bit is choosing an instance . We care more about a nice and open community to diversity of opinions than if it's in Poland or Finland or any other EU country. (suggestions?)
