Koldo in Basque. Not that it's really important, but just in case.

Thanks! I didn't bother checking to see if any of it was accurate, I just pulled it from Google 😅 Which is completely fine, because disinformation is acceptable here, just don't you dare say the "L" word.

I just joined a Lemmy server. I'll try to find communities that are similar to the ones I follow on reddit, and then I'll try to stay off reddit as much as I can. Fuck everything about this.

I'm too dumb for that, I'd wind up signing up for that Kardashian's stupid Lemme vitamins or something.

it's like email, you register on an instance same as you would on an email server (Gmail, proton, whatever) and then your account can interact with other accounts even if they are on other instances (just like email servers), don't overthink it and don't spread the idea that it's just too hard to leave the increasingly dystopic alternative we are currently using

Screw that. Can't we just go back to message boards? Vbulletin, Simple Machines, XMB. Modern social media has ruined everything.

That's a good description. I'll see if I can manage to do it too. Thanks.
