Might as well carry on as usual. I like to think nothing changed and we just moved.

The community is thousands of times more important than where it happens to be.

I never considered going back. Lemmy is forward. More power to the users and the community and less from greedy shareholders. This is the way.

It's like a warm, beautiful sunset.

Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!

REDDIT WHO!?

EXACTLY!

LEMMY'S GOT TECHIES, IT'S GOT TREKKIES, IT'S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN'T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!

Lemmy and Reddit promote engagement, discourse and even arguments... ok, especially arguments.

Mastodon feels like a list of billboards that I am disconnected from.

"Oh, that's news"

But no one talks between eachother about anything. I almost feel like the nature of the layout of Twitter and it's alternatives are almost by design to make the users a little more self serving.

Mastodon has every user standing on a soapbox yelling at crowds, Lemmy is more of a public forum.

While I can't quite land on why I didn't use Mint DE, I didn't use Ubuntu because I don't like snap very much. Just about every instance using it has led to either issues clashing with other apps or just complete failure overall. I know you can avoid it and get rid of it but I'm tired of removing things.

I saw MX and was like... "Looks like my desktop as I usually like it." and you can treat MX as if it's just another Debian stable install as far as guides are concerned.

MX Linux.

Debian with perks.

I use SearXNG. They search Google anonymously. I also like the layout better. Less bullshit. Straight to the content.

Still using zlib with tor.

MX Linux.

Imagine Linux Mint Debian edition, but it isn't green and there are a lot of useful GUI tools. It's also so near to actually being Debian that you can just install things meant for Debian on it. It also runs a backported kernel for modern graphics driver and chipset support so you get your stability and your performance all in one.

Remember kids. It only works if you stay here.
