What do you have against blahaj?

If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here.

It's not about pulling the plug. It's about introducing proprietary features that break communication, forcing people off of an independent server and onto Threads.

If most of your IRL friends are on Threads and your experience with them has gotten janky due to Meta fucking with the protocol, it's going to be very difficult to not switch over to Threads.

Oh, and good luck trying to get your friends to switch over to some indie server they've never heard of. If you can do that, then you should run for president.

Both are open protocols for communication over the Internet. Both have been adopted by a large corporate interest.

Now, how are they different?

Could somebody explain what "fedipact" means?

"The flood of crap" isn't what people should be worried about. They should be worried about Meta embracing, extending, and extinguishing the Fediverse. There's a good article about this here. People are worried about the wrong things and don't realize what's at stake.

Yeah, it's absurd. Don't you think that if this guy had vandalized a Christian or Jewish display that he'd get more than "criminal mischief"? This is a hate crime.

What's exciting about Plasma 6?

I'm a Plasma user, and I can't think of anything I want them to change.

Okay, it would be cool if there were more plasmoids. That's about it.

It wasn't the people who died. It was the fact that the US was attacked by a foreign power.

We can fuck up our own shit fine. But if somebody else is fucking up our shit... then we get salty.

Aren't we all supposed to be dead by now from the poisonous vaccine? This has got to be the slowest-working poison I've ever seen.

Not if you use Soulseek.

No idea, and I don't care. What matters for me is that there are enough people on Lemmy to keep it interesting.

This doesn't mention Stalin or Mao.
