The main thing of the article is:

None of the targets of the campaign are government entities

Yeah, no migration available, which is a potty but that would be quite difficult to do it right.

I’m doing it and I like it. But I switched to PieFed which is easier to maintain.

Hm, that makes me think I should really go ahead and set up my own git-frontend, or at least check out all my git repos.

You’re doing it the wrong way. What you should do is to identify the specific things you think are holding Lemmy back and discuss it in the open. That can lead to:

1. Other people realize it too and start thinking how to fix it
2. You realize your assumptions were wrong

If you just post here ’ Lemmy is shit and will never be good’ then that’s not very productive even if we wanted to help you find a now home outside of Lemmy, we have no idea what you’re looking for so we can not even give you good advise.

Oh very cool! I whish my board game community would move from discord too, but for now it seems too much to ask.

I understand that and agree with you, but I still post on it and try to watch it to some degree just to help build up some momentum.

Specifically email is not difficult to host because of the technical burdens but because of the black and whitelisting of the big players. Often your server IP address happens to be put on a black list without your fault and then you can write an email to Microsoft or Google and say ‘pretty please remove my IP address from your blacklist’ and they just don’t answer because they’re swamped with requests like that and they need to check each one manually or something and then suddenly you can’t email to 80% of the email addresses in the world for months.

It was a joke reply, hence the emoji, but I see the joke was not appreciated here.

Start with a Signal and Discord bridge, they are very stable. Later perhaps you can get WhatsApp and Telegram working. I know it doesn’t bring the other people over, but it’s very convenient to have them in one app on your side.

Never heard of Droid-fy, will check it out.

Good point, using that too and syncing my database with syncthing between all the devices.

Gmail is a mail app, not only a mail provider ^^

Here is my list, 15 out of 17 (while 2 are not applicable because I don’t use anything like that):

I’m not sure if DuckDuckGo and TMap count because they’re both just alternatives but still from big tech.

Ah, nice, not bad for a iPhone model.

I wonder how bit it is, normally they call them something with 3B or 7b

That’s pretty funny, not gonna lie.

We have access to them from work, perhaps I can use that.

Oh, wow, I didn’t realize that would be so much fun! And it’s somehow faster than the ones online too, and you can really do a lot with all the different models you can download!
