Yes. What they specifically did though was extend the protocol so that anyone who wasn't using their version of XMPP via Google Talk would be incompatible or seem "broken" when it really wasn't. It's just that they were using non-standard features, both incentivizing people to just switch to Google Talk and for development on the core protocol to slow down.
I bet money Threads is going to do the same thing. They'll introduce Threads only features that don't work with all the standard Activitypub implementations, causing frustration with Thread users and putting pressure on people to just jump ship to Threads from standard Activitypub implementations.
Yes, I'm sure many idots believe in this pyramid
Of course you don't. I'm sure 95% of people don't. Most people don't bother taking a stand on things unless it affects something more substantial like their wallets.
Pretty sure it just simply means content won't cross over in either direction.
Because f*ck Meta? Isn't that enough?
I'm running a small Gotosocial based instance and will be defederating simply because I'm afraid of the bandwidth and general load when like there is 1+ billion new users federating via Threads.
Gross. I feel ashamed to work at Superstore now.
Might want to see this: https://lemmy.ca/post/1090349 I can see this becoming a norm over there.
Looks like the upper Midwest might be ok, at least for now.
Droughts in the west are going to end up causing mass migrations once all the water is finally gone, and the extreme heat in the east makes me think if anything people are going to be leaving the USA, probably in our lifetimes.
The thing is if you're going to be sharing the road with other vehicles, you need to ride predictably and communicate with other drivers/riders or you're just more likely to get yourself killed. Deciding to ignore a Stop sign is not predictable behaviour.
This pretty much nails where I was in my previous job, where I was for years. In a better place now because I went back to school and got a different much better job (easier in a lot of ways, and much better pay and opportunities). I had to dig myself out of my wage-slavery and it took some time and dedication. I still think about the next paycheck but the stress is much lower now.
