Well, in that you’re right.

Freezing water at 0 and boiling water as 100 simplifies things a lot but also doesn’t make sense when it comes to things like weather, like, what am I supposed to wear outside when it’s 23 degrees?
I created a lemm.ee account, and I might just mainly go on there instead of this one (or .world).
I get an error “ERROR: Cannot write file - profile_v2.json: Access is denied. (os error 5)” anytime I try to use it.
.world is so unstable that at this point its future is uncertain and I am ready to completely migrate either to beehaw or to some other instance.
Not a lot, at least not anymore. Brave has annoying cyrpto-ads that I always have to turn off every time I reinstall their browser, their sync service sucks, and ever since they dropped Bing, Brave search became useless.
It’s buggy on occasion, but it works!
Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.
The colors are not that great. It’s like a beautiful city being covered in grey smoke.
Who tf uses DA for furry porn? There are way better websites nowadays
Echo chambers are what happens often when you trust personalized algorithms. You pick specifically the things you agrree with, and then later you don’t get exposed to things beyond your own worldview and interests. And recently, algorithms have been proliferating all over the internet and there’s a lot of discouragement from using smaller services - a lot of it has to do with how the variety of content on the bigger social media networks is not yet replicated on smaller sites. The fact that smaller sites have now become usable thanks to Reddit and Twitter going down the drain makes me feel like on one hand I feel more free now because I can explore all sorts of sites and more people will be there, but on the other hand I am intimidated by the sheer amount of alternatives and my mind can’t manage with all of them at once, so I minimize my general social media usage. The fediverse is, in a way, consisting of “novel unique websites coded manually by hobbyists running servers for free”.
There are cases where reposts on some Mastodon instances and most of Misskey’s reposts aren’t seen on Firefish, but are seen on Misskey, because for some reason Misskey seems to have better protocol interoperability, so you get a vastly different experience even when following the same people.
Some cheese is nice, some is cool, some is disgusting, some is straight-up inedible to me.
Also, Boosts in Kbin are more effective than upvotes but it’s not obvious to a person who isn’t aware of that
The same problem I have when it comes to Mastodon/Misskey/Firefish - I feel like everything is so fragmented, like I have to jump from one place to another. Thankfully, this applies significantly less in the “threadiverse” (Outdated name, we definitely need a new one) because there aren’t 6 different platforms and tens of different forks, and Lemmy and Kbin are pretty much 100% compatible with one another, unlike those moments where you can’t see Mastodon re-toots on Firefish a lot of the time or sometimes accounts’ posts appear much later in a different instance. We don’t need to worry about that here.
This page has some good recommendations. I suggest you to do research about each solution before picking one that fits your needs.
I’m used to it, it’s fine.
