I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there’s a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I’ve blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.
But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy’s, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country’s Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?
I don’t feel out of it, but I also use tiktok, ig reels (suprisingly amazing algorithim, least controversial, my 3d edm visual profile (amateur af) only sees 3d and edm reels for the most part, doesn’t really favor low follower counts but its great for popular stuff.
I miss old twitter, wondering if any mastodon or pleroma instance is like that. Sharkey seems more tumblr ppls vibe. It was always current and fun to talk in.
Reddits out of it forsure, ppl can identify a redditor and its never a compliment lol. I always hated when ppl called me on, but they were spot on. Lemmy’s not too bad, ppl just dont seem to care about pop culture here, might be due to lack of communities or posters, gotta be the change you want to see in growing communities like this.
I need to start posting more stuff on the edm ones, I feel out of the loop there and want them to be as active as reddit was.
Ngl, Mastodon is closer to feeling like Lemmy than Twitter. I know it’s heresy to say here, but Bluesky is probably the closest feeling to old Twitter, including the random 3am hole pics on “What’s Hot” lol. I scroll there, but I don’t post bc I find talking on Lemmy a nicer experience tbh.
I also find it interesting that you find IG Reels a better algo for you than Tiktok, because most people say their Reels algo is a MESS. You must have curated your follows and likes pretty well.
Yeah I unfollow ppl if they like stuff I dont like since it taints the algorithim, for the most part I get a suprisingly decent feed on my official real person account, and a really good one for my 3d visuals account.
I like seeing other ppls likes, my whole twitter feed used to be some of my friends likes that ithe algorithim realized I enjoyed (itd show who liked it when showing you the post) my feed went to shit after they turned that off.
I do think if any of those pop culture communities get abnend because of a controversy they might come here, isnt there a defederated drama community?
