Sorry about the content in spanish, but some years ago there were news about someone placing agave or some succulents/cacti in people’s roofs, since some species “absorb” the heat, something along those lines.

Also this plant seems to help refreshing the room in general

I haven’t tested them yet since I am just growing my little garden on the roof of my house, but hope something of that helps.
I only upvote if something is actually worth upvoting, which basically depends on my mood. I rarely upvote.
I downvote low-effort, some reposts, posting things on comms where they don’t really fit (or they are forcing it to fit, like posting social media screenshots in any of the many memes comms), opinion pieces posted as news, misinformation/propaganda about my country, clickbait… I downvote a lot.
The rest I just read or check and keep moving, I don’t believe in upvoting everything just to make comms feel alive.
15 minutes later it will be over
Worse, we’ll have users telling us how this (somehow) is good for the left and downvoting everyone who lives there and says otherwise
As a mexican, this is waaay funnier than it should be
Which one of those is closer to what Telegram brings to the table?
Mostly pretty stuff like gifs/mp4/webm with alpha, stickers, animated stickers and handling things like webp/webm, self-destructing multimedia, chats that dissapear after X time, sending huge files, the option to send something as a file if it can’t be played internally, a desktop version that I can use simultaneusly… maybe groups and channels too, adding people by alias instead of phone number (maybe qr, but not a huge link like the one SimpleX uses).
You know, things that could help me to bring my “friends” and family on board or at least to give it a try.
Because Matrix isn’t exactly private since it’s meant to be a Discord clone and I share piracy among my friends and family, or for the sexy times with my friends, I need something that at least has self-destructing messages and chats where messages dissapear after some time.
I could trust it if I could self-host, but I lack the hardware (disk space, mostly) and the availability (I can’t leave my pc on all the time [also I live in México, the internet is terrible and I tend to hog it if I’m downloading something]), so I’d have to trust some random yahoo with my stuff but it wouldn’t have what I’m looking for anyway.
I must say, my all feed is notoriously different between my old lemmy account and piefed, the later one being better.
Also I stopped seeing propaganda from my country since here I can actually block the propaganda instances and domains, funny how that works and no wonder it will never be possible on lemmy.
