Facebook is not federating.

I still can't make sense of Mastodon threads.
The problem I see with almost every Fedi product is that they just try to clone whatever is popular instead of considering what makes sense.
Character limits make absolutely no sense.
Tagging 12 different fuckin people automatically 34 replies down the thread makes no sense.
The layout and the way it's displayed makes no sense.
It makes no sense for PixelFed to federate with other micro-blogging services or to include the teeny tiny fucking buttons.
Lemmy has very easy to follow and legible threads but Twitter/Mastodon ones just confuse the absolute fuck out of me.
didn't we create and use fediverse software like Mastodon, Lemmy, PixelFed etc in large part to escape the constant hate-baiting and algorithmic manipulation of companies like Meta?
"We" created the Fedi to have interoperable systems and to give users autonomy over their accounts and their feeds. That's why there's an option for users to block other users and even entire servers.
Why are so many in the fediverse prepared to throw their fellow fediverse users under the bus
No one is doing that.
If Threads was a fediverse instance, it would've been defederated from by just about everyone by now.
True.
Why are some people bending over backwards to give Meta a free pass?
No one wants to give Meta a "free pass". We want a way for Meta users to see that they can leave the platform, escape the ads and data-mining without losing access to their friends, family, news, etc. It's specifically because Meta is so terrible that we want to federate.
You see it as the Fediverse promoting Meta but we see the opposite.
'Wait and see' I hear people say
I've literally never seen anyone say this except FediPacters as a strawman. No one needs to "wait and see". We know exactly what we're getting.
Never seen a clearer example of someone not being objective.
He claims he voted libertarian in the last election but I feel pretty confident that won't happen next year.
On the Dec. 21 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which has been the No. 1 podcast on Spotify for the past three years
It should be noted that Rogan has an exclusive deal with Spotify so Spotify is the only place you can listen to Rogan, which is probably largely responsible for his #1 spot on the platform.
I believe that deal ends later this week. I haven't seen anything to indicate it will be renewed.
Wow Steam actually got almost all of these 🤣
Not true. Many of the smaller phones on the market have additional features that the bigger ones don't. Or at least they used to when they existed.
This. If I'm required to give up all my personal info I might as well get some cash back and all the other CC benefits.
in my opinion the less people have your information the better.
Yeah that's kinda the point...
Been running it at 1080p no problem for several days.
To purge the system?
