What if Meta’s hidden objective behind the Threads-to-Mastodon initiative is a play on app.net? And, what if threads.net is a measured step towards what could be the greatest pivot in all of tech?
nah im not.
we cant expect things to get better if we dont help heal the people in a way we can.
There’s nothing wrong with the people who use it. It’s their choice. I just don’t want that content in my space.
The only space that is truly “yours” in the Fediverse is the one concerning your feed and the data you create.
It’s my instance and the ones it federates with.
I can move instance or host my own if I don’t agree with my current ones choices.
Do you treat the people on the same instance as you as “taking your space”? Wouldn’t it better to think of it as shared, which means that it is not really yours or anyone else’s?
No I’m talking about meta
And I am talking about the people on the networks, whether it is Facebook or the instances themselves.
You want to say “I don’t want Meta to come”, but what about the people who are there?
Depends on their content
How are you going to filter it out?
I dont mind, we are letting in a group that has a diffrent culture then ours. The fear is that if
then the smaller side’s culture will get clobbered.
If we don’t grow faster, we are always going to be irrelevant. To illustrate the point: Lemmy had a monstrous gift given by Reddit’s management and completely failed to capitalize on it. Later on, when my fediverser project was signing up hundreds of people per day and the conversations started by the bots were used by organic users in niche communities, the reactionaries here decided to treat everything as spam, instead of seeing it as a hook to convert more people.
Fast forward a few weeks, and now Lemmy is back to being a place to nothing but meta-conversation about the Fediverse and a handful of people pretending they are not using Reddit anymore.
Mine is a personal instance used only by myself.
