Using emojis reminds me of all the parents that suddenly spawned on Facebook around 2015. I usually never use emojis other than thumbs up when talking to strangers.

When it comes to close friends on chat, I mostly just combine the cat emoji with hand gestures like 🐱👍, or 🐱👋.

    I think SOMA. The first time I played it, I had no clue it was a horror game. It has such great atmosphere. A balance between mystery, adventure and horror, all while keeping it calm and slow.

    I think removing the dislike button has really damaged the platform. That is a decision only done for financial reasons.. because once you don't know that others don't like the content, then you might stay longer.

    What should have been done instead is adding more vote abilities instead, like "vote misleading", "vote bad quality", "vote ragebait" etc.

    I once made around 50 euros designing a keyboard layout for a person I met on Reddit. He did international transfer over bank lol.

    I have made money with crypto. Usually I would follow this friends of mine, he tells me when to buy and when to sell. To get it to the bank, you transfer from the exchange to either Coinbase or Binance and then withdraw to your bank there.

    I have made money from a website me and by friend was hosting. Used ad services, withdraw to PayPal and then to the bank.

    I technically would have made money from YouTube with some thousands of views, but are not opted in to any program there.

    I would like to recommend you some freelance job, but I don't have experience in that field...

    I've listened to a lot of different music over the years. I listen to music so much all day mostly as background noise... I recently moved to a new place, and the neighbor sometimes plays Jazz in the weekends. I seriously open the windows and turn off my own music. Something about it is just soo nice and chill. Something with the vibe, I don't know. The closest genre I listen to similar to Jazz, is Downtempo. Here for reference: Youtube Music | Spotify

    It seems like Lemmy took off 2 years ago with the announcement of Reddit's API blocking 3rd party apps. Many instances popped up, and some disappeared equally fast. More people have now moved over since the actual announcement becoming alive.

    I'm a bit new to the decentralized hosts with federation/mesh social networks on the web, and are wondering if anyone with long time experience using something like Mastodon would shine a perspective on how these services usually operate? Does popular instances suddenly disappear, resulting in people losing contact with each other? losing progress, reputation, communities and their history? Since it's open source, and it's meant to be run by the people, for the people. How is the stability and long-term plan for Infosec.pub? I would like to stick around this service for hopefully many years.

    Most of the instances in the instance section (https://infosec.pub/instances) is gone. I would be interested to see the statistics on how long all these instances lived before they were shut down, and compare those numbers to the big instances people are signing up to.

    Lastly, there seems to be no way to migrate your account to another instance [1], so long-term reliability is indeed important.
