Why isn’t anyone talking about this? It looks like Meta wants to compete with Twitter with a new Instagram microblogging app which will probably be compatible with Mastodon

Key Point of the article:

*“Soon, our app will be compatible with certain other apps like Mastodon,” Instagram’s slide says. “Users on these other apps will be able to search for, follow and interact with your profile and content if you’re public, or if you’re private and approve them as followers.” *

      You want all those imperialist bootlickers, celebrity/paparazzi brainrot, softcore porn, OnlyFans promoters, hentai groups, racists, shills of X/Y/Z products, and all of that shit on Mastodon?

      No I want r/ComedyNecrophilia r/AnarchyChess r/Feedthememes r/okbuddybaka r/mechanicalkeyboards r/linuxmemes and all the subs from certain games.

      You overread the part were I said “hyperspecific nieches”

      You cannot have shitposting without making a place crappy

      That’s like not true at all. Just have a look into r/ComedyNecrophilia or r/OkBuddyChicanery

      They are filled with shitposting but still very civilized. I’m not talking about r/shitposting because that place is trash.

      It’s a different kind of humour that most are used to but that doesn’t make it bad. It’s juts different and more absurd.

      They are often the worst and/or anti-social elements of society, or people. Who just want to keep distance from turbulent society. You cannot cherry pick how society organises.

      How is that bad? I’m left on the political spectrum so I dont think we should exclude them.

      With guides I mean places like r/FreeMediaHeckYeah and theindex.moe which are both made by reddit users.

      You can go to those “diverse” platforms for that garbage content. Inorganic growth is always cancerous. Instagram users will absolutely make it worse. I do not want people worshipping the next US President or UK Queen/king or whatever toxic idpol exists there to migrate onto Fediverse.

      You’re oversimplifying. A lot of new people also means a lot of new people who are against this type of stuff. It means that there are new people who hate the next US President or the next UK Queen/King. What You’re saying are just stereotyps which aren’t even true most of the time.

      The whole time you’re using stereotypes that are wrong.
