(You don’t have to put their @, just say yes or no if you want.)
I got permission from her, so my GF is @PieInTheSky@feddit.online
my wife doesn’t have any questions about my behavior on the internet unfortunately
Maybe she should. Does she know about your username.
Yes, she actually joined recently - I hope she starts posting too, her art is great and more people should see it. Not giving a handle for now because she’s shy.
We run quite a few fediverse instances together, so yes :)
omg it’s ada from matrix
No, the fedi is still mostly tech/privacy enthusiasts which doesn’t really describe her.
Is it though? I see a lot more non-tech people there day by day. Lemmy might be more niche cause of network effects
You’re right. They forgot (US-)politics
My husband is the PC gamer and I am the Nintendo lady but I am the only one here. I am also his tech support somehow.
somehow.
The barrier for entry between consoles and PC is basically identical at this point, and they’re both easy enough that anyone but infants and late stage dementia sufferers can access these days. I imagine only those with an interest in the actual hardware would be relegated to family tech support
Not sure if I agree with you. consol os’s are so much more simple than full a full desktop os, everything makes much more intuative sense and there are less complications you need to worry about. And of course you don’t need to spend any time learning about the different types of hardware and all the compatibility issues or if your buying prebuilt it can be overwhelming with all the different companies and selections. In the consol market there are 4 options really: ps5, ps5 pro, xbox s and xbox x.
Nope. I can’t even get her off windows although the steamdeck did impress her.
Not on lemmy, but she has moved to BlueSky
Hope she’s at least bridging to fedi!
Nah, I got them to make an account but they don’t actually use it
I got her on Reddit ages ago but I think she stopped using it because the official app sucks so much. I don’t think she’s interested anymore though. Instagram mostly.
My wife still uses reddit now and then, but I can’t because I’m banned :-/
Spouse is on Linux, but because one by one her devices started to switch. Setting up a new gaming pc, oh that’s weird it has Linux. Setting up the new gaming console, and it has bazzite. Suddenly they’re only using linux
No. Wife and kids only use the Big tech apps. I think ads and tracking don’t bother them as much as they do me.
Lemmy, but very rarely
Yep, but not on Lemmy. She uses Mastodon.
He got an account just to spy me on here from time to time (I mean it in a cute way), but I don’t think he has any interest of actually using it, for now at least. He’s not really a “social media” person, Instagram is like his “main platform” but only because all his friends are there lol
He has shown interest in my “decentralization journey” (for lack of a better term, I guess) because we share similar values and he recognizes that moving traffic to popular social media websites like Instagram or Twitter is harmful because the parent companies are awful (less focus on privacy, more focus on environmental impact and political issues). Got him to use Bluesky instead of Twitter because of this.
keep being a good influence; get anyone and all that you can in the good fight against centralized corporate control.
