Y’all would be surprised how many Facebook users there are outside of the west. In my home country of Vietnam Facebook is like Twitter+Reddit+more. It’s the most popular social media app. Everyone is on Facebook. The government posts news on Facebook, academic institutions post news on Facebook. Everyone posts official news on Facebook. Hobbyist discussion happens on Facebook. Buying and selling stuff - also Facebook. Wanna watch short form/long form content? Also Facebook. Facebook Messenger is also the second most popular form of communication. But it is to us what iMessage is to Americans. If you’re not on Messenger, fat chance nobody will talk to you. There’s Zalo which is technically in first place but Zalo is where the Vietnamese government gets to exert its control and it’s mostly to conduct business and talk to boomers. It’s that bad. Facebook is also very popular in other Asian countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand and the Phillipines, although I’m not sure to what degree.

It’s still a tiny echo chamber like it was a couple months ago when I cut back on Lemmy use. It can get pretty repetitive and boring to read. I came back to Reddit because the user base was larger and there were more perspectives I could hear from.

Fmovies WHAT? NOOOOOOOOO

I don’t tell people about the Fediverse.

That’s all fine and good but Firefox on Android is currently in a sorry state. No per-site process isolation, buggy, can’t keep tabs open, slow, choppy, drains battery. Had to uninstall it on my brand new Galaxy S24+ and my Pixel 6 Pro because it was draining so much battery. When are you going to finally stop ignoring Firefox Android, Mozilla?

I will justify it in four words: It’s a Hades sequel.

It’s open source. Authy isn’t.

Any reason to switch from Aegis?

Can we have a YouTube competitor? Pretty please? 🥺

I would donate if I wasn’t so broke =)

I use Orion. It’s basically Safari but way better.

Still not available in my country. Sadge.

Jay hasn’t responded yet. I’m still holding out hope. J2K is my favorite fork.

Just a random community I clicked on to test the app.

I use that too but it hasn’t been working too well for me recently. For example, sometimes it can’t play videos and when I try opening that video in a browser the pricks over at Reddit fucking blocks VPN.

I know, but the thing is I lack the experience and time needed to create and moderate a community. I can only engage with content (i.e posting and commenting)

Yeah, they’re former Redditors. They don’t read past the titles.

When I move out I’m gonna get all dumb home gear. Fuck smart homes.

For real. Even though my country has diplomatic ties with NK I would never in a million years step foot in there. I don’t think anyone should.

Good point. But I have DNS adblocking so that doesn’t bother me much.
