All of Tumblr saw it that way.

Those of us who don't think it would be disastrous have read the article.

Yeah, that's my line. I'm happy with federating with Threads, but not being Threads's bitch.

Exactly. I don't want to join Threads, but I'm happy to federate with them.

Fuckity bye. There's a lot of other instances that don't federate with Threads.

It might be standard practice, but it is somewhat bad in that it destroys potential value. This does not mean that it is net negative, just that defederation is a cost.

Yeah, I'd be a lot more worried about some corporation eating Lemmy than Mastodon, because their communities would live on their site.

All social media has network effects, in which the value to a user is roughly proportional to the number of other users (probably not fully proportional at the high end, but definitely positively sloped).

Because I prefer my ideology with less authoritarianism. SWCC is borderline fascist.

Because they really like conspiracies. Meta is only the regular level of evil it was before, it's not a new improved variety of evil.

If Soapbox sucks, any recommendations between Akkoma and Calckey? Basically want quoting features.

I'm personally closer to social democracy, but relatively on the left of that area, towards market socialism.

An extra complication necessary to make something work. It's generally negative.

There's a lot of room on the left between communism and neoliberalism. Have you heard of non-communist socialism (e.g. Titoist market socialism)?

This sounds like a https://xkcd.com/2501/ moment. Your average internet user probably doesn't know there even is a Linux, and might be able to install mods at a push but not troubleshoot them.

Let's just hope the Fediverse doesn't fuck around.

It's because they grew up with it rather than actively learning it. UIs have started to hide the actual details, so the users don't pick them up.

1. 23, so no.
2. Enthusiast, yeah, trying to get into tech for a job, but don't have the CS degree they all want.
3. No, but not by choice. Not running Linux because I buggered my UEFI somehow, and so it won't allow me to boot from USB or switch to my Linux partition.

I think it's because early Millennials are near the peak of techiness, and the sort of person to switch to an open-source, decentralised, somewhat anti-commercial website is also the sort of person to use Linux. I'm early Gen Z, but fit the other two categories.

How does "left wing, but not communist" mean Tory to you? I've been demonstrating for socialism probably before you were born.

I'm not a communist either, schmuck.
