Federation will become part of our cultural language and people will come over at that point.
They’ll start setting standards, other instances will comply, and meta will control (or destroy) the fediverse.
You think we can’t get people to join lemmy unless our Genius Daddy Savior Zuck brings them in?
Nobody is suggesting that we destroy Threads. We just don’t want to let it control the fediverse.
They will start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be mechanisms to control the fediverse and make it a data-gathering ad & sales platform.
This us exactly the threat. They’ll start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be ways to control the fediverse and make it a propietary data-gathering and sales/advertising platform just like everything else.
Good news! Fuck Zuck!
The universe growing souls like flowers, or something
I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.
They seem more node.js-friendly than other hosts I’ve tried. I might have to take the plunge.
Maybe I should figure out DO. I disregarded then because I didn’t understand their droplets or whatever they’re called.
I’m socially liberal and economically on the left (as in I like democracy, I accept capitalism, but I want a lot more socialist policies). Downtrodden people should be given assistance, but everyone else should be free to live out their power and ambition unless it gets in other people’s way. I’m against most right wing political and social positions. But I’m even more against defederation and mass blocking. I don’t want a safe space. There are too many things we need to process with conversation.
That’s a great price for a vps. What host do you use?
I’m in Canada and we just drink the tap water. Some northern and remote native communities have to boil their water and it’s considered an embarrassing failure of basic human rights.
I think everything trends this way. I almost feel more excited for new opportunities in new platforms than disappointed at reddit.
My big fear right now is that Bandcamp will try to emulate Sp0tify instead of enhancing their unique strengths. Then I’d be seriously disappointed, and musically homeless.
I barely just started but it feels almost as natural as normal reddit.
Lemmy federates Reddit better than Mastodon federates Twitter. Mastodon is confusing. But on Lemmy I can clearly see the relationship between instances, and I can use it all as one big system.
They’re so gross lol
