It was going before that.

As someone who doesnt use twitter... yes this was totally worth it!

I'm sure it's not a unique idea. Lots of really smart and clever people think like me after all :D

Counter rebuttal... no. Fuck SA and fuck everything SA stands for. I dont want them in my tech. I get they are diversifying but they can fuck right off. Anyone who accepts their money will end up having to accept their agenda and I'm ready to boycott any company that does.

That is literally what happens every year with r/place. Hundreds of thousands of bots placing pixels based on pregenerated images. Then the bots fight each other. Then reddit uses their own bots to censor things or mod tools to drop a bunch of random pixels over the top of images to wipe them out.

No, the colors on lemmy should be flipped to match Sync's!

Is there a way to check if a user account exists for my instagram account without logging in?

Luckily she isnt referred to as that lady who has a restraining order against him.

The difference is that the email protocol has long been established and any new email client is built to that protocol standard. What we have here is an open protocol still being developed. The fear is that FB will force changes into that protocol and take it over. Then it will no longer be an open development protocol. By expunging FB right now before they get a firm grip on the userbase it can preemptively prevent FB from causing damage.

We are kind of in unexplored territory right now. You could compare it to google/MS taking over xmpp but it's not quite the same situation either.

But the reality is that the current fediverse doesnt need facebook to be successful. It already has the users to continue to grow. By combining user pools facebook would have the majority share with their instagram users which means they would have a controlling share of users and would leach users away from the fediverse over time until they broke away at which point fediverse would die as most users would be forced to follow in order to keep their feeds.

This way those feeds never mingle with FB and thus fb cant leech them.

I have accounts on a few different communities. Mostly because there is no real way to know how the community is until you start interacting with it and it starts interacting with with other communities.

Beehaw is nice because they are actually trying to cultivate a friendly community and moderate a lot of the trash out. But also... sometimes you dont want that hand holding...

I want more games like valheim. Could care less about the graphic HD quality. Just give me a good game that looks good enough I can forget about my actual life for a while.

No one tell my StarCitizen ship collection this...
