It's like if Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter all had the capacity to import content from each other. Then add in that most of the Fediverse's "facebook, twitter, and reddit"s aren't run by centralized institutions. You can sign up for an account with any of them, but the administration of the one your account is on gets to decide which other sites content it wants to import. If you don't like the way the admins are deciding on content in one, you can again start your own or just hop to another one. The Lemmy instances are forum like in nature similar to reddit, Mastodon instances are like twitter.
Lol, thanks for the reminder to pay the bill I already forgot I was reminded about today. xD
making fun of people for their sexuality is a dick move.
That’s not what this Sub is about.
and laugh at toxic heteronormativity
... uhhhhhh. Has my reading comprehension degraded that much or is it the language?
Also: Overusing the word "toxic" can make it lose its meaning, can scare people from sharing their thoughts, and might be used unfairly to avoid responsibility.
Nono, that's a feature. They still make money off those ads while you're paying not to see them.
Yes. I would like this info as well if anyone has it ^.^
You mean (definitely not Facebook) is releasing Twitter2^TM^ with a WHOPPING 500 character limit? So a company that's perpetually abused it's customers data is offering an alternative for castoffs from Reddit where they can serve you ads, limit your messages, and collect your data at the same time... in place of an already existent community driven instance of an open-source protocol / the ability to run my own instance? Fucking sign me up bro. Please Daddy Zuck, take it all! >:D
Lol, I tested this out live. Most people still like to 'disagree button and run.' I think it comes from the 'debate me bro' atmosphere that seemed prevalent on Reddit. A lot of folks would rather just show they disagree than expose their logic on why. This trend can then be manipulated by bots to strengthen the 'unspoken disagreement' with opinions that don't jive with whatever agenda they've been created to support. And rather than talking out disagreements a lot of them devolved into 'then just leave.' Or even more venomously as 'this community will be better when you're gone.' ^.^
I'm so rich, I can afford to maybe shop at mid-tier grocery stores comfortably like once every two months. :D
"I'll have my bots call your bots."
It could suck someday, but it doesn't suffer from the same things that made myspace -> facebook -> reddit suck. No money hungry executives profiting off underpaying employees to implement features no one asked for and selling astroturfing as a service. At least it doesn't seem that there's astroturfing as a service here yet.
damn, good looking out. Won't be using this ~~for awhile~~ til I sell a couple of kidneys.
