    Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
  • The same happened here. More than 16 years on Reddit, and most of them as a not-very-active lurker. But here? I'm commenting every day.

    As a FOSS guy, here I feel at home. From the community to the community.

  • What DEs are people using?
  • KDE, for kwin's superior window management tools.

  • Should we change app names?
  • Wefwef is weirdly arresting. I know not what it means, but it has a ring to it that makes it unique.

    Voyager is just meh. More of the same.

  • Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?
  • If I simply say yes, it'll be a bit misleading. Since I've deleted my Reddit account recently, I can only post here. But I'm not only only posting here. I'm also more happy to do so.

  • What books are you reading at the moment?
  • Several, in tandem. The one I'm enjoying the most right now is The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity, by David Graeber, and David Wengrow.

  • Do you use adblock? Why? Why not?
  • To me, Adblock (Ublock Origin, actually) comes with the internet package. I mean, if I'm connected to the internet in any way, I have to do it with several layers of adblocking. Sometimes, when I have to use someone else's phone or compute, I'm appalled at how pervasive ads are. It's crazy what other people tolerate. I ask them, 'how do you get by with so many ads?' And, to my surprise, some will say, 'it's normal, no biggie.' Then I rejoice yet again for adblocking technologies and for how much they contribute to my well being and sanity. So, do I use adblockers? Most definitely!

  • Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?
  • I've been a redditor for more than 16 years. Due the the recent events, I've been through my comments/submission history, noticing how much more active I was in the beginning. For the past, I don't know, 5 or more years, I've been just lurking less and less, to the point that when it came to delete my content and account, I didn't even have any regrets. Just did it, and that was it.

    Now comes the fediverse. Here I am, commenting again, actively checking what's happening here with a renewed enthusiasm. So yes, I'm excited for it being FOSS, federated, decentralized. By the people, for the people. Yay!
