[Lemmy, a reddit replacement]

I haven't looked into running a server, but as a user on some of the established servers it's been a great experience. Part of what makes it
a great experience is knowing that I can setup my own server and connect it, if I want.

What website to you lemmy from? I liked Beehaw, but not their politics - so I switched to the main one... for me, when Beehaw unfederated from a LARGE lemmy host I was upset.

I think the enshittification is inescapable with corporate-controlled platforms.

Another platform that is going to hurt a lot of us when they inevitably crank up the enshittification is Discord.

Thats what Matrix is for - I use Disco still, but do MOST of my chatting on Matrix. There is a Quantum Wormhole server you can use - matrix.erb.pw

I use mastodon.social via the web interface, and also using the Mastodon iPhone app.

I had noticed you didn't seem very active on Discord, I didn't realize Matrix is where it's at, I just thought you were stuck up! ;)

Do you always use the Element web interface, or do you 'enter the matrix' using other interfaces? I am soon going to have to actually check out Matrix after hearing about it here and there for some years now.. I just never took the time to actually take a look myself.

This dickhead.... :P

I use element-desktop, an application - on iOS I use element-X.

Matrix is the server. element-desktop is the client. It is the lemmy/mastodon if Discord. Quantum Wormhole runs a matrix server, at matrix.erb.pw ... there are many other communities/servers, but they are all available by using matrix.erb.pw thru federation...

Stuck up - f this mother........... :P

Element/Matrix has also been explored as a BBS-like system by a
few people. tqwNet is an example. However.. its matrix
presence seems to have died down. The last 5 posts dated Feb27
2023 to Mar8 2024 have all been "<user> left the room".

I wonder if you're still in the old rooms. Meatlotion lost the Matrix server and had to re-create the server and the rooms.
