The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I’m torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don’t want to support tankies.

I suppose I shouldn’t sell out for a nice app though.

That’s why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.

Yes! I started competing in a sport in my late twenties and am deep into it now (I’m 36), and have never felt better.

Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.

Wasn’t he a mod of /r/jailbait?

I mean physical mail, lol. You go out to your mailbox and have a handful of crap that you have to throw away.

Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It’s a huge pain. I use iOS and I don’t think there are any Instagram alternative apps.

It has become that way in the US.

So the backend is coded in Rust? I’ve been learning the language but haven’t actually used it outside of tutorials yet. I’m experienced in C++ and know how to program so I may look into it while I’m unemployed.

My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.

I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It’s such a mental load.

Just know you might have to run it 5-6 times to get all your comments. I found the first time I ran it, it edited maybe 1/5 of my comments. I overwrote my comments with this:

EDIT: Moved to kbin, the federated Reddit alternative.

Chooose an instance here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances.

I recommend Kbin.social, as the UI is nice and it reminds me of old.reddit.com

See you there!

The last point you mentioned is one of my biggest concerns.

I deleted my 11 year old reddit account just an hour ago. I first overwrote all comments with one promoting lemmy with instructions on how to choose an instance.
