I recently moved from Reddit almost entirety and even in this short time it feels like it's getting more crowded. The fedivers will rule them all.

An LI alternative wouldn't be super helpful, you would need mainstream and companies to want to use it, and any open alternative would fail to meet that goal. The wants of the employee and the wants of the employer don't mix, thats why LinkedIn looks so bad to the employee. It's not meant to be for the employee, its meant to be for the employer. If it was the other way around the employers wouldn't use it.

I feel like a bunch of trolls would abuse account migration tools by instance hopping before they get banned.

username changing

It is technically possible, it is just extremely difficult, you'll need an admin to do it for you (many won't know how, and many will be unwilling), and it will 100% cause problems down the line. I wish it wasn't too, though, I usually change my online name every few years, and having to restart is a little annoying.

Account migration

It's possible on most fedi platforms, seems Lemmy doesn't offer it though. Not surprising, given it's not really the same kind of platform as the broader fediverse is.

"You have been defederated by trump.social

Please submit to the nearest ICE Re-Education/Deportation camp for processing, be prepared to learn the El Salavdorian Language"

"You have been defederated by chairmanxi.ccp

Please write 'NOTHING HAPPENED ON JUNE 4 1989 IN TIANANMEN SQUARE' 1,000,000 times during your stay at Laogai"

"Your instance has been defenestrated by putin.kremlin

Suck on the Polonium, сука блять!"

Governments will always use products that make oligarchs richer because they are owned by the oligarchs.

Why wouldn't you just use mbin?

Piefed already has an extensive feed system for this btw

I feel like I stand out so much lmao.

I am a American citizen but I'm was born in China and I feel like my anecdotes just stand out so much lol... like remember being in a US classroom and I was the only Asian there... that's how I kinda feel like... The only other ethnic Chinese here are like 2 HongKongers and like 1 Mainlander in Europe and like 1 Taiwanese

The Asian Diaspora comm has like checks notes yea it's in the single digits... like 3 members of the diaspora I think. (shameless promo: !theasiandiaspora@piefed.social)

As for spirituality... sometimes I mention the idea of reincarnation as a hypothetical and feel like some atheist is gonna be like "ur stupid"

I mean I'm not gonna wait for help if there's a flood, not gonna be that guy that "waits for god to save him", but I still think about reincarnation a lot... it's kinda just part of the philosophy of the environment/culture I grew up in... its like I grew up with a weird mix of Chinese culture stuff at home... (like... as a kid I used to watch a lot of Cantonese and Mandarin tv shows...), then also the western (American, to be specific) stuff outside of home and on the internet.

But I'm so glad the fediverse doen't have the bullshit like "Omg u don't have enough karma / your account too new / we find your account doesn't meet our requirements, your post has been automatically removed"

As a Romanian, I'm doing my part!

Gonna have to agree on which genocides count first.
