This guy friends

Yeah -- why can't individual communities opt-in federate together? That's a great idea

lanolinoil, 11 months ago

Yeah who cares what the users want /s

Sit in the quiet for ten min and realize I don't care about this

Come on it's not rocket science

Honestly though .... with the disinformation campaigns at State scale, the botnets, the AI content, and whatever comes next, how do we not have to have a verified human user internet in the next 20 years?

lanolinoil, 11 months ago

Yeah I didn't ask how would you not want it -- I said how will the current functions of the internet operate without it given the new forces we already see ruining everything,

The fanny pack never did take off in the U.K....

Yeah that goes too far for me. What if they change it to Nazi prop and ransomware you to your boss or family?

As an AI language model, I agree.

competition for the sucker who foots the bill for this fediverse

It was tongue in cheek but seems like a weakness in the federation model unless I miss something.

I look forward to the Lemmy wars. I hope we get a good 5 years before the opportunists figure it out and start exploiting the 'power' that will come with who can federate with you.

I'm sorry. I'm here and done with Reddit too, but it's not a public service. They're well within their rights to do this and even more anti user stuff, which they will, but that's not immoral or against the law.

This is why we have laws against Monopoly. All these people thinking there should be laws and rules for how businesses should steward their free user base is pretty wild to me.

Public services are run by the public for the public good (ha -- supposed to be) and businesses make money. Reddit isn't PBS or your local library and would you really even want that?

We just did this with Facebook exodus right? "You mean _we're _ the product????"

Yeah -- You just leave and use better stuff. My point was I get a sense a lot of people want more done (legally?) to force them to do things with the mods or subs or whatever, which I'm not for and don't even understand what it looks like. I guess my other point was of course this happened it was always going to happen.

Lemmy and the Fediverse is a cool solve to make that maybe not true again (but probably will find someone to still be true)

It's the way tech disseminates into the world.

If you've been here for a month or more, you're a first adopter and the true heroes of our cause. You take up what makes no sense to -- what is untested and will likely be a waste of time.

These people then tell the early adopters, which is what you are if you've been here for a couple weeks.

Once we got on board, we told all our friends who join, and then the whole thing keeps snowballing.

Of course, Lemmy really has Reddit to thank for making us all balk enough to take a look at fediverse stuff. Mastodon really didn't do it for me when I checked on it a couple years ago, but this is awesome and totally makes sense.

Playing around with Pleroma now so I can follow users here!
