Only for the moment. Spammers have already found us, but so far in small numbers. All the other bad parts of social media are already here too, just so far not in large amounts and so you can find useful content. But those who gain from the garbage are coming and decentralization doesn’t help.
If you must be on those platforms (because face it, that is where grandma is) don’t doom scroll. I block all from the creator of shared memes on facebook - then when I block two I use that as a sign I’m done for the day. You should follow similar rules - make it clear that you want social media for social purposes and the memes, information (which is likely false or exaggerated), and everything else is not welcome to you. Alone you and I are nothing, but together we start to become a statistics that they will notice. Thus my plea that you follow similar rules as me in blocking the non-social parts and not doom scrolling - if there are enough of us they will be forced to make their platform more useful to keep us for one more ad.
So why are we talking - nothing gives me any indication you are in the same community as me (odds are strongly against it), so nothing is being organized. The world needs more ways to organize communities not large groups who don’t have a small communities in common to do something about.
Just like kde 4.0 and wayland were not marketed to consumers and yet consumers used them anyway and then decided latter releases marketed to consumers must also be bad.
That Is one reason why I choose to join a kbin instance back in the day. Many lemmy devs are scummy people who support this.
i try to block all .ml groups so I don’t engage them. You should too.
https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/store/ is what I’m looking a for my next keyboard. I am typing this on a Keychron which I will agree with others is a great keyboard option for somewhat cheap.
For general computer stuff B&H. Though if I knew of a local store near me I’d be sure to support them.
