I made this exact same argument using XMPP as an example and got downvoted because “XMPP is still alive”

Oh. I didn’t notice.

Yeah it was quickly disproven but some people never got the memo

Iirc some people used to think so for some reason when it was first released.

Google is considered an ad company.

Fixed that for you

I like swords

Tanto - Phone

Maybe you should have named your desktop Theseus because of his ship.

I understand. I hear it’s an issue on Kbin and it might be fixed on the newest versions of lemmy. But that’s just how “All” is, you’ll see everything whether you like it or not.

At the very least you can blur NSFW images in the settings

This doesn’t seem to happen on lemmy. And even if it did, my “All” filter is all memes.

Why not subscribe to the stuff you want to see and then only filter by subscribed? I honestly find it strange that people don’t do this by default.

Imagine if Facebook offered RSS feeds. That’d be nice right? It wouldn’t ruin anyone’s experience if they started supporting an open standard like that.

Remember XMPP? How Google embraced that open protocol? Remember they extended it and practically turned it into their own standard? Remember how it was extinguished after they decided they could just make their own standard?

That’s what people are afraid will happen with the metaverse. Facebook isn’t interested in making ActivityPub better. Their only goal is to turn it into a money stream without regard to whether it survives or not. The only way to slow that down is to not play woth them.

Agreed. Meta’s (or any other corporate entity) strategy will most likely involve paying off mods or admins for their influence, allowing undercover ads, bots, etc
