I pay for yt family premium and Netflix but use neither of them on a regular basis.

My nephews grew up with a pretty shitty life. They don’t have a lot of fun things they can do in their situation. I figured the least I could do is give them YouTube music and some access to watch TV and movies on Netflix wherever they happen to be.

It’s the same reason my steam family is chock full of games I’ll never play.

People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.

In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.

Ducati.ms will be your best friend.

Yeah, I’m a little bit too much into motorcycle forums…

And motorcycles!

Shameless plug for the triumph bobber forum and triumphrat if you are into those bikes.

This kind of bullshit generalization leads me to believe this conversation wouldn’t go very far. I’ll stop here. Cheers.

I would argue they are. My reasoning for this argument would be pointing at the history of the working class.

What is your reasoning for saying they are not?

We live in a small (12ftx28ft) house where we heat with a wood stove and have pets so our dust factor is pretty high.

I use 10x10 merv13 filters and a modified bathroom exhaust fan that sits in my rafters. It completely changed our air quality. I change the filters when they get gunked up every 10-14 days which may be a bit expensive at ~8 bucks each filter, but it is worth it for the clear nose and sinuses!

I have never had a comment make me feel this old.

You can. That is how I use it.

Have you been paying attention to the news coming out of texas? I’m guessing not.

Your WORKstation is for working. Budget devices are not for working.

I actually don’t disagree much about the Dev/UX parts of your comment. But you should take note that I was replying to the statement:

There doesn’t seem to be a “discover” feature

This is at the top of all of the mastodon servers I have an account on. If someone lacks the curiosity to click the word explore, then that is on them, not on the tech.

The downvotes on this are just strange. What impetus could there be for continuing to push the narrative that mastodon or lemmy are ‘difficult’ to sign up for and use? My wife(46) and mother(67), who are both technically impaired, signed up on the same day I did…

The process is so simple: All we did was google ‘mastodon canada’ and ‘lemmy canada,’ Then signed up for mstdn.ca and lemmy.ca.

Next steps? Nothing different than any other social site… Fill out the profile (like any other site) start looking for people and tags to follow (like any other site) and then bookmark the main page (like any other site).

This is ridiculous. Please turn in your nerd card.

I mean… I’m not the OP but I don’t think people against meta/threads fear their idiot userbase. We just don’t want to deal with them. At all. Anywhere.

Or we’d have joined threads.

I don’t think I was confusing the defed from blocking, I was confused about what you meant. Thanks for the clarification.

I am given to understand that I will still see the comments from threads users on lemmy. Just not the posts from threads.

Like I said, I don’t care what others do. But for me the correct answer is to not interact with users from that platform.

When I start seeing threads users in .world lemmy comment sections I will block .world.
