  • I mean, they can easily flood the ratings and sure All is just Threads content, then you’re not getting involved in Lemmy/Mastodon content, you’re just talking and engaging on content sustaining Threads and your comments are probably helping engagement next to adverts displayed to users.

    It isn’t a good proposition, at all.

    Meta doesn’t do anything that doesn’t benefit their bottom line, especially for their ad business.


  • I mean, the last point is weird. They’d never say that, and do not care about the illusion of being open.

    Point 1 is true.

    Point 2, what makes you think federation will make millions of users want to move away, or even know folk are on another service. They’ll probably censor the word lemmy and every lemmy address to avoid folk advertising away. The fediverse will just be filled with nonsense data and they’ll pull the stuff that helps their platforms and keeps people hooked on the teet. Without that data, they may not be at critical mass to sustain Threads and it might eventually die. With that and Twitter going to pot, avoiding federation actually helps Mastodon as it provides a distinguishable separate entity that has reached critical mass and has significant good will with the user base that motivates them to keep sharing content.


  • world won’t defederate from the right without a long drawn out process (see Exploding Heads for example). However, if someone posts “Karl Marx is great” or “Communism makes sense” or “capitalism is bad”, you’ll probably see a defederation before the enter key is hit. (Hexbear).

    lemm.ee or lemmy.ml are where it’s at. I don’t think it’s great for power or userbase to be focussed on one instance. lemm.ee has 0.19 and world doesn’t despite their junior and senior infrastructure folk from their full 7 week interview process for volunteer positions.

    Believe internet strangers? I had it on my laptop and Pinephone. After breaking twice on both, I went for Kubuntu then OpenSuse for desktop and PostmarketOS on the Pinephone.

    You may be cheerleading for Manjaro but don’t discount experience of people that went there, suffered and want others to not suffer. If you really need easy to use Arch, EndeavourOS is far superior.

    I’ve had it break many times during update. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it at first, but if you want a system that works after update, you’re probably better checking elsewhere. Linux Mint, and Kubuntu are far better simplicity wise. Open Suse or Arch if you want rolling updates.
