A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Use MU.social
European bluesky alternative
Though if i recall it can connect to bluesky so you can see that content too
Its not a Bluesky alternative, its just a different frontend for Bluesky. A good frontend but nothing more.
*puts EU sticker on US coloured pig*
"There, that makes it better"
creates EU infrastructure that connects to US infrastructure to prevent regional lock-in
What "regional lock-in" are you talking about? Isn't all the bluesky tech USAian? Aren't all the technical decisions made in the US? If they decide to introduce some kind of filtering in the code, is the EU side going to copy-paste the code , remove the offending parts, and then host it? I doubt they'll be able to keep that up for long. They are facing millions of dollars across the pond.
Not the PDSs, only the AppView and PLC but EU alternatives for those are in the work too.
Use Mastodon/Sharkey
Fediverse alternative, not connected to nation states or capitalists.
Neither have the user base of Twitter or Bluesky, which is essential for a social platform.
It's not essential for my social platform
Odd that you wouldn’t want a diversity of voices and backgrounds on your social media platform. Have you thought about about just changing to a diary?
Oh, stop. If you've got something to say just say it.
There are a diversity of voices in every community that is open to the public. I would say an even greater diversity in those spaces where people go when they've grown fed up with the closed, commercial platforms.
Why are you wasting time on Lemmy then? Shouldn't you be posting on Facebook instead?
BlueSky itself is still operated and developed by a corporation though, even if an instance isn’t. Thus you’re still beholden to the whims of the people in charge of that.
Love me some greedy assholes, i trust them with my every fiber of being 😍
Jokes aside if we have more people, things could change pretty fast in a good way.
