I love those benefits. I would be extremely upset if I had to go back to the office. I’m more comfortable at home and I’m able to help my wife care for my son who is special needs. I save on gas and wear and tear on my car. The fact that I can listen to my music while just wearing shorts and a t-shirt was a game changer. IMO people in general suck and it’s nice not to have to interact with them face to face on a daily basis. Some of my coworkers say they miss being in the office. I think they’re nuts.

Firefox on Android using Ublock Origin is as good as it can get.

I would rather it be Mastodon. I tried threads and it was a bunch of influencers prostituting themselves for follows and likes.

I appreciate your assumption that I have friends. I am enjoying Lemmy though.

Nice! I had no idea.

I’m liking the UI on their desktop site… I’m tempted to jump.

Yeah I was thinking of jumping on to .ml. When I first started I thought hey they are real big! They must be the best. But nah I want nothing to do with Threads. On Mastadon I’m on mastadon.social and am thinking of switching as well for the same reason.

I am 45 and you can say a tech enthusiast. I’ve never worked in tech but I have always wanted to but never took that chance. I feel like I’m too old to start now.

Out of curiosity I tried it for a few minutes yesterday. All I saw was a bunch of influencers and low level memes. I had duck duck go tracker blocker on just to see how bad they are and it’s worse than I could ever imagine. It showed 686 tracker attempts from 35 different companies and I was only on for about 10 minutes.

I joined mastodon.social because I figured it was the biggest so it had to be the best. Now I have to decide where to move to. If I really what to follow anyone on threads I’ll use their app but thats highly unlikely. I scrolled for 5 minutes and they tried to track my info 686 times and all I saw there were low level memes and influencers degrading themselves for likes and follows. They can keep it.
