  • Yep, same problem Lemmy has vs reddit. Only the nerdiest tech nerds got on here. Not many communities from reddit or just in general here. For example, I had to go back to reddit for a good sized general anime community. It’s that or fucking 4chan, and no thanks on the latter.

    To me, Lemmy feels very much a giant technology board with a few memes.

    But I will say, the past few days, Bluesky has gotten a lot more interesting.







  • Fun fact: I used to work as a fraud analyst for aajor telecom company. British Indian Ocean territory islands were extremely high fraud destinations for telecom fraud. I always assumed the people there were basically making ends meet through fraud. (Usually hacking corporate PBX systems and directing phone traffic to premium rate service lines there) But I think it’s more likely that the phone companies there aren’t so much committing the fraud, but facilitate it with their PRS lines where they surely keep some of the revenue generated.
