  It's not really hard to type a website, it's rather hard to remember it. You remember your username. Okay. But where were you? mastodon dot what?

  When you use your full address, it's not that hard to remember it.

  I kinda get all the Threads worries and the fact that some people might not be comfortable with Meta collecting their data for advertising. But this is just insane. It just makes me think people are just irrationally angry at everything, and they like being that, instead of informing themselves about what everything does.

  first time [...] a mod didn't like the viewpoint expressed.

  Haha, wow, first time?

  Welcome to this place. Lemmy.ml is notorious for being run by the actual tankies that created this project. See what they support, what they don't, and have an opposite opinion on that. You will get the boys telling you how it acchually it is not and call you a glowie CIA agent or whatnot for not siding with them. The Reddit migration probably made them more accepting of opposite opinions, but probably because things have calmed down more a bit lately, they started aggressively moderating stances like yours and probably anti-Kremlin takes as well (seriously, before that, if you were against the Russian invasion in Ukraine or against China's politics you would have been accused of being racist towards them - but hey, you can say whatever you want against the USA, or The West, you can't be racist against these, can you?).

  Anyway, here's a longer take by FediTips that explains the issues with Lemmy:

  I am on Vodafone and I have it as well. I heard it's only available on the Google Messages app and on Samsung's app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of the Fediverse projects are worth getting into?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This might be subjective, but imo, while Mastodon has the most feature complete apps, it's not the most feature complete platform out there. Hell, even Kbin is more feature complete than Mastodon. I recommend trying Friendica, Hubzilla or Streams for a larger feature set.

  Friendica should fit the bill right there for you. Or if you don't want ActivityPub, check out diaspora*. There's also Hubzilla which uses AP as well, but internally it uses its own Zot protocol.

  Don't know about you, but I feel the Fediverse has been flooded by actual news rn though. I'm probably already following too many publications, but I feel like my feed is flooded by them lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨subredditstats.com now promotes Lemmy and the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can also use Friendica if you enjoy Tumblr. It has a wider degree of customization in regard to its interface, and you can also cross post or get your Tumblr feed in Friendica (provided the server you're using has the appropriate tumblr addon).

  Pretty much all communities on beehaw are active enough
