Too real.

I think it’s a fallacy of our time that we have to be connected to all and get all content. Does it matter that some people are in a different but similar community? Do they need to be bridged?
Maybe this is something that an app can do. Like multi-reddits, just present multiple communities in a consolidated stream.
That would be really powerful. Especially if we had the ability to choose two or three “fall-back” instances that would stay in sync.
Amazing! This gives me hope for the future of the internet. It was always meant to be distributed, not centralized into a few corporate hands.
Started using it today. Love it so far. Great work!
The one thing I would worry about is that a massive deluge of content from Meta would drown out anything else from Lemmy, and would effectively reduce Lemmy to just a client for interacting with Meta. Unless an individual could block Meta specifically (or any one instance) it would effectively kill the All category.
Also would the flood of new traffic make it impossible for individuals to bear the cost of small instances?
That’s just what I think anyway. I’m not totally against federating with them, but very skeptical.
Lemmy has definitely been able to replace Reddit for me. And although I don’t fully understand the fediverse either, I am super intrigued by the concept. I hope this style is the future of social interaction on the internet.
Same. I like it (and miss Apollo). But I also like the web interface too.
I loved the show too. Really tempted to pick up the second book.
God Emperor of Dune. Really liking it so far and I hope to get through the whole chronicle by next year. (I’m not grinding them one after another). Dune (the first book) is one of my favorites of all time.
Also, Make Something Wonderful, a collection of Steve Jobs’ writings and speeches, which was free. I’ve enjoyed it, since I’m in that industry.
I agree. Ultimately, I think there is a real chance that there ends up being 2 major fediverses. One that is federated with Meta, and one that is not.
I think that those joined to meta will ultimately become like the losers table in a school cafeteria. They can hear all of the conversations, but nobody will engage them. I’d rather be in the not-federated camp.
