It’s an interesting thing to ponder and my opinion is that like many other things in life something being ‘OC’ is a spectrum rather than a binary thing.
If I apply a B&W filter on an image is that OC? Obviously not
But what if I make an artwork that’s formed by hundreds of smaller artworks, like this example? This definitely deserves the OC tag
AI art is also somewhere in that spectrum and even then it changes depending on how AI was used to make the art. Each person has a different line on the spectrum where things transition from non OC to OC, so the answer to this would be different for everyone.
Instance admins can setup a slur filter for their instance, which automatically removes that word from ever appearing on that particular instance.
Ahh yes this is one of my favorite quotes and one I think about a lot.
users won’t want to use an instance that can’t view content from threads (since that where’s most content would be), but they’ll be much more open to joining an open source instance that federated and views stuff from there as well.
I’m totally willing to discuss my thoughts since it seems I’m in the minority on this threads mania-
Once Threads launches it’ll obviously have a lot more users than the whole fediverse combined, maybe even 90% of all users. Now let’s say some instances with barely 1-2% users and small content feed defederate from it. Do people think a new user who does not care about things like open source or privacy will join the niche instance? No, people will go where the content is. Big social media giants will jump on fediverse bandwagon and instances who dont fetch their data will become extremely niche communtites (some might like that but it’s not good for overall fediverse health).
Instead let’s say we keep federated with threads, and make posts like how YSK: other instances don’t track your data, other instances are free from corpo greed, other instances are run by normal people etc etc and make users aware and let them naturally migrate. Ideally, meta will bring the eyeballs which we can help to make fediverse as a whole grow.
imo it’s naive to think that us 100k users defederating will put even a dent on threads. Insta tik-tok people will join the new trendy social media and generate content. The only solution is to make people constantly aware that better alternatives to view the same content exist.
Was with you until the money point. It’s extremely easy to get this data and there will be many open source versions doing this thing.
But I agree that who upvoted a post shouldn’t be federated.
With Twitter, situation is different since most celebs are still on it and people generally use it just to see what the popular people are saying. Once (and if) these celebrities join Mastodon, Twitter would start to finall fall.
It’ll probably make the onboarding process easy for people who find the concept of fediverse daunting. This might help fediverse go mainstream.
good to see you took the matters into your own hands lol
Wow even if admins take over that subreddit, such a big subreddit will surely create a snowball of many more subreddits doing it.
I don’t see reddit ever recovering from this (They’ll not die, but things won’t be the same)
Lemmy and kbin are different things which work on the same backend and are part of the fediverse. Similar to how mastodon is fediverse counterpart of Twitter, lemmy is fediverse counterpart of Reddit, and kbin is a unique thing which is more akin to old school blogging sites.
For this to happen every single instance will have to fetch every community from every instance to aggregate posts and make sure new similar community is added which isn’t feasible (I think).
Give it some time, and I think organically 1-2 most popular communities will emerge for each specific topic and people will then just subscribe to those ones.

Mass exodus will only happend if there’s a concrete alternative ready to welcome the refugees. Let’s hope Lemmy is able to handle the traffic spike.
map enthusiasts looks very cool.
no feed is complete without some cat pics. thanks for sharing.
He mentioned in his post he isn’t interesting in doing that and is instead focusing on his 2nd app. Sad but understandable
That’s true, duplicate copies of the same book is perhaps the main pain on bookwyrm right now. On the other hand it also feels like a problem that devs must be aware of and are actively trying to figure out a solution for.
