Hmm, would be great if there was a like a nice, accessible list of these things for new users - tools and the like - and a link to that list was available on the Sign-up screen, right across Lemmy…

Would certainly go some way to reducing the friction between starting and knowing what you’re doing.

Thank you for being here, Margot, lol

I’d counterpoint by saying that Meta isn’t a person - up its not really a apples-to-apples comparison here. They’re trying to get in here to make money. Pure and simple. I’d wager we aren’t - we’re here hour community.

Our wants and needs are opposed, that’s why I’m not comfortable with letting them commercialise/monopolise whatever they want - especially somewhere that could offer us a more healthy online experience and upset their business model long term.

I’m not a programmer so I have no idea what’s what, but the functionality of that sounds really cool and would serve really well to uphold the whole “social media as a decentralised, non-static web of communities” framework going on here

I don’t know, I think we have a responsibility to eachother to keep the Fediverse ecosystem healthy - Facebook/Meta isn’t exactly a humanist… well, anything.

I think it’s fair the white blood cells of our ‘body’ are calling for re-enforcements on this.
