They’re so gross lol

Federation will become part of our cultural language and people will come over at that point.

They’ll start setting standards, other instances will comply, and meta will control (or destroy) the fediverse.

You think we can’t get people to join lemmy unless our Genius Daddy Savior Zuck brings them in?

Nobody is suggesting that we destroy Threads. We just don’t want to let it control the fediverse.

They will start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be mechanisms to control the fediverse and make it a data-gathering ad & sales platform.

This us exactly the threat. They’ll start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be ways to control the fediverse and make it a propietary data-gathering and sales/advertising platform just like everything else.

Good news! Fuck Zuck!

I agree.

BUT some degree of infighting means we’re alive and engaged with the platform. I think it’s healthy infighting.

Yeah it’s been 100% reliable so far.

I’m running Void Linux on one 11-year-old laptop (with XFCE and i3). My only complaint is that installing packages can be a lot more of a nuisance. The xbps repo doesn’t have anywhere close to the number of packages in pacman+AUR, and I have run into trouble installing stuff much more often on Void than on Arch. There’s a solution for everything, but in the end it’s extra work. All that being said, Void is awesome and fun.
