You’re not addressing anything I said.

I was trying to say that you arent being creative enough in imagining the awful plans they might have for federation. There is no winning with Meta. The best move is not to play.

Meta does not need the Fediverse. In terms of user numbers, we’re a rounding error. It has no need to embrace in order to extinguish.

Companies arent actually that rational in this regard. I completely agree that the fediverse is not a threat in any possible meaning of that word, but that doesnt mean Meta wouldnt like to have its feelers on us or destroy the protocol.

If the Fediverse universally defederates it will force millions of users who want/need a larger network to hand their data over to Meta and the Fediverse will die for everyone who wasn’t on it before October 2022.

Defederation just means that Threads is blocked from viewing/interacting with fediverse servers. Right now, Threads is deferated (because it cant interact), but simply because they havent set it up yet. People can still learn about the fediverse and join up whenever they want. I dont think I understand your point.

I would be surprised if they respond any different than before, i.e. almost none.

There is no strategical alliance to be made with Meta. That company literally complicitly hosted the platform for a genovide to be planned.. There is no outsmarting, strategic federating or any sudden interest on their side involved. Its all a plot to wring people out in the most heinous way they can get away with.

What exactly would any fediverse user be getting out of this? Why would Meta have any interest in giving us anything, even attention?

I think they are referring to a bar for drinking, and more specifically this post: https://twitter.com/IamRageSparkle/status/1280891537451343873?s=20

If you cant open it due to twitter shinenigans, here is a random website they basically screenshotted the entire post but wrote a lengthy introduction for search engine optimization: https://www.upworthy.com/bartender-explains-why-he-swiftly-kicks-nazis-out-of-his-punk-bar-even-if-theyre-not-bothering-anyone

I was expecting you to call yourself a sentient multi-zettaflop quantum frame or something.

As a 70-qubit quantum computer

Its cool to see that lemmy/kbin have such a diverse user base

Wtf is "intention" supposed to mean. Evolution doesnt intend anything.

I never used goodreads, but i basically do the same that you do on bookwyrm, so you should be fine lol. I mean, thats the bare minimum a book network should manage.

There actually is an app! Its on the F-droid store (or straight from github) though, not the Play Store (no idea about the apple store). But its basically just a PWA, so its up to you.

bookwyrm is great!

No, but searching five sites at once from inside the application is simply a better and more time effective solution.

Game piracy is such an incredibly funny topic because some of the people involved seem to genuinely see themselves as 17th century pirate lords lmao

[–] 00@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Isn't that piracy, too: owner class stealing labor from working class.

Wage theft is actually by far the biggest kind of theft in the US, and film studios and game studios are well known culprits. And piracy has absolutely zero impact on that wage theft. You make a good argument.
