Go anti-woke, go broke, Apartheid Boy!

Leopards ate tankies’ faces!

Speaking of federation: How do we get at it here in Lemmy land?

No, this is what they should be doing. It’s the difference between owning your house and renting. They get to make the rules on their instance, they’re not at the mercy of a tech bro company or a trash billionaire that might have a political agenda against actual journalism…

After what happened to the BBC and NPR on Twitter, who can blame them for saying “Fine, we’ll do it ourselves!”

The stoners on Reddit got screwed - many of the weed subs got the banhammer, and the rest got NSFW’d because spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disney for the IPO.

Push celebrities, influencers, and businesses to create their own instances, outside of Meta.

If they just use a Threads account, then the Fediverse gets made irrelevant. Along come the Three E’s, and Meta walls up the garden and starts putting billboards up everywhere.

Celebrities, influencers, & businesses need to know that they can now have a social media presence that they own, rather than rent, where they can make the rules for the communities they host. It’s good for them in that it keeps their Fediverse presence theirs, they get to call the shots and choose how their instance is set up.

Because if enough people have a strong Fediverse presence outside of Threads land, it’ll make it much harder for Meta to pull the plug.

I deleted my Twitter account when Elon reinstated Donald Trump’s account - it was clear there was no saving that platform.

It’s a Nazi bar now because the owner is a Nazi.

I still have my Reddit account, but it’s becoming quickly like my Facebook account - I barely use it. In Facebook, it’s to catch up with friends and family, and in Reddit, it’s the more esoteric subs. But I feel dirty & gross every time I load up a page from those sites, so I don’t unless I have to.
