I couldn't resist

Unlike libertarians, the fediverse isn't a bunch of pedophiles

I sure hope so. Fuck libertarians and fuck Meta!
- To be clear, don't actually fuck libertarians. That's how we get more of them.
- Honest question? Are libertarians that bad? I don't agree with their ideology but are they that bad at a personal level too?
Because it's the libertarians flashing their dicks in front of children during the month of June

All I see when looking at that logo is a pube

A good flag for the subject of Zuckerberg then!
Thanks, I Hate It
- Dammit can’t unsee it now

Good thing it is banned in the EU or at least in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

EDIT: It is not banned it needs to be approved by GDPR

It isn't banned, they just haven't gone through GDPR approval yet
- Whoops, my bad. I’m gonna correct myself.
- What is GDPR approval? You just need to comply to the GDPR right?
Seeing some articles reference the Digital Market Act, which seems to be around large platforms online, which seems to be more akin to competition law.

They did launch it in the UK, which still has all the GDPR laws/principles, just outside the EU context. Then again maybe that means any enforcement activities by the UK would start from scratch. Or maybe the lack of recent UK enforcement activity encouraged them

I've been on Lemmy for a week. This is the best post so far, hands down.

Better than BEANS???
- Did someone say beans?

OP mvp with the OC

Facebook sucks, don't use any service made by them.

We already have mastodon.

You need to put the threads logo over the lemmy rat 🤣

Threads when isolated from this community: GOOD.

Threads when federated with this community: NOT GOOD.

It is your choice whether to use it or not. The Fediverse is like the Linux of social media, I like it more here and on other fedi apps than on the corporate social media.

The amount of people who believe themselves and their interests safe from the totalizing influence of these companies really breaks my mind.

Threads when isolated from this community: STILL NOT GOOD
- Am I the only one who's confused why it's such a bad thing for Threads to federate?
  
  It's just essentially be a really big instance. People can turn it off or go to instances that defederate from threads if they hate it.
  
  My potentially controversial (at least here) take is that the Fediverse needs a few mainstream players like Threads to flourish long-term. It'll be some serious mainstream attention on what federated services offer, and also a shallow end of the pool that normal people can start their Fediverse journey in

Wild wild west of meta

Wait, shouldn't it be:

Threads on me harder daddy

🤔

We need a hat with this on it!

Permanently Deleted

ofc

Liberty or death!

I saw this on Instagram but not really sure what it is

It's a parody of the don't thread on me flag
- Oooooooooh, I’m stupid lmao
Threads is Meta's (Facebook/Instagram's) Twitter replacement, which they want to connect to the Fediverse, but most of the Ferdiverse doesn't want them to.
- Interesting. So I assume it’s suppose to be going up against Mastadon then? I honestly would be fine with it as long as they open source there server code but let’s be real, they won’t
Is this the cage fight that musk and zuck have been talking about?

Oh my god this is perfect!

haha libertarians are idiots, just like tankies. Change my mind.

Zuck, Musk and all those companies are shit but I'm already engaging a lot with Threads. I love the idea of the Fediverse but the hard truth is that there's no instance of my hobbies in here (and no, I won't create them). On Thread, boom! Every person I follow on IG is there, talking about what I like, sharing stuff.
