Not quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a "boost" by the community when viewing from mastodon.

Where do you get your news? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I don't go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that's it.

UW-Milwaukee announces closure of Waukesha campus in 2025, citing declining enrollment in c/wisconsin@midwest.social
[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago

Absolute Bullshit. The closure of the branch campuses, which bring the UW to rural Wisconsin, is a failure on the state and on the Universities of Wisconsin (formerly UW System). Thousands of students across wisconsin would not get the life-changing, fulfilling, career-opening education they fucking deserve if all of these branch campuses close.

What is next after the rest of the UW branch campuses close? Bye-bye UW Parkside? UW Superior? UW Platteville?

We can fund these colleges, we just haven't been. It is about god-damn time that our legislature has a spine and promises to fund these colleges, and to re-open the closed ones, for the future. While you're at it, make tuition free at these colleges. The state has more than enough money. Help those who need it.

It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 12 points 9 months ago

I have never used amazon, much less paid for a subscription service for the pleasure of using it. I was hoping that the author atleast stopped using amazon alltogether. Ah well. Little victories I guess.
