Commenting counts as creating content right? If so, I’ll be glad to continue as a serial commenter and rare poster :')

Yup, boring lives are a goal to strive for in our world. That means financial stability with not many serious issues going on.

Goddamn I want my life to be as boring as possible.

It’ll happen when they capture the biggest portion of Twitter’s users. As soon as that happen enshittification shall descend upon it.

Yup, capitalism pushes them to try to own/incorporate everything that can either be a threat or a resource for the business.

As much as I dislike porn (exploitation industry etc) this is a good take.

The apps for the fediverse aren’t responsible for federating with Meta, the instances (servers) are.

If my instance (lemmy.world) federates with Meta, I need only to switch servers (say, to lemmy.ml or lemm.ee), not stop using the current app I use (mostly Jerboa, but also Thunder and LiftOff).

ActivityPub won’t ever “truly” die, it might lose the chance of becoming “the salvation from mega corporations running the internet” though. We’ll always have the possibility of running small-ish, tight-knit instances.

But agreed, fuck Zuckerberg and his cronies.

I disagree with your threat assessment, but thanks for that link, it was indeed a good read.

Which corroborates Eugen either being really damn naive or a paid shill.

Based mastodon.art, I don’t use Mastodon anymore (microblogging isn’t my thing) but I’m glad I set my account there when I tried it. I remember the folks there being quite the lively and caring bunch.

That’s why I use Joplin.

In the current age we don’t even have to be that old to have been screwed by big corporations more than once. I guess anyone in their 20s would have by now gone through it at least thrice.

But they can easily implement Lemmy-like features on it or make another sister-app. It isn’t hard to bruteforce such things when you have that much money and developers

Rochko has demonstrated to be either foolish or naive, and both are bad.

I’m not betting on him to having been bought, out of a minimum of trust, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the case.

As long as I don’t have to interact with that instance I’m OK. I’d rather not ever federate with Meta though

You should give this a good read

I wouldn’t join even if paid to do so.

I’d take the money and scram.

I hope my instance defederates even before they’re live on activepub

Is there a way for a Lemmy user to block content from Meta’s instance? If so, I’d love to.

Most comprehensive article on this topic I’ve seen since this Meta shenanigan started. Thanks for the read
