I appreciate your assumption that I have friends. I am enjoying Lemmy though.

Nice! I had no idea.

I’m liking the UI on their desktop site… I’m tempted to jump.

Yeah I was thinking of jumping on to .ml. When I first started I thought hey they are real big! They must be the best. But nah I want nothing to do with Threads. On Mastadon I’m on mastadon.social and am thinking of switching as well for the same reason.

You can make it 2,151 now. Glad to be here!

I am 45 and you can say a tech enthusiast. I’ve never worked in tech but I have always wanted to but never took that chance. I feel like I’m too old to start now.

Out of curiosity I tried it for a few minutes yesterday. All I saw was a bunch of influencers and low level memes. I had duck duck go tracker blocker on just to see how bad they are and it’s worse than I could ever imagine. It showed 686 tracker attempts from 35 different companies and I was only on for about 10 minutes.

I joined mastodon.social because I figured it was the biggest so it had to be the best. Now I have to decide where to move to. If I really what to follow anyone on threads I’ll use their app but thats highly unlikely. I scrolled for 5 minutes and they tried to track my info 686 times and all I saw there were low level memes and influencers degrading themselves for likes and follows. They can keep it.
