Pucker up boys.

No.

The end is near for physical media for video.

Google says a lot of things.

It’s not.

Yes Facebook is bad really bad. If you have not left, please do.

That is not how capitalism works but love an optimist.

Hexbear is the largest communist Lemmy instance. Avoid them like the plague they are.

Lemmy is fantastic as long as you avoid hexbear and that ilk.

Stopped using google some time ago.

The damage to children’s lives done by social media is catastrophic.

Not a bad choice.

X is done.

I am from the US and I have no idea what they are talking about here.

Already figured it out. I am waiting on the rest of you.

Lemmy is amazing. I am so glad I found my way here. I was doom scrolling as well. I had to unsubscribe from all my political communities I had joined and just keep one of my news committees. I then expanded the groups for my other interests. This really helped. You are in control of your time line here.

hexbear is true garbage.

Beehaw is not worth the effort. Their audience is way too sensitive to participate with any reasonable level of social interaction. You will live on eggshells if you wish to participate there,

They are just two different servers. Lemmy.World is one of the really big ones. I had an account there but because of the size there were a lot of performance issues. I would recommend you join one of the smaller servers like sh.itjust.works. You have access to almost all the same information on the Fediverse.

There is no real safe place. You need a platform that allows you to moderate it down to a place you can live with.
