and guess who lobbies a ridiculous amount to either keep the rules the same or bias it further towards their interests
yep, corporations once again
why is this man like this
yeah, like OP isn't realizing that they're going to just make another Twitter
if you have it that there are no rules against shittiness and bigotry, then the worst kinds of people will decide to hang around and will drive off everyone else; you'll have a nazi bar
on one hand, reddit gold is useless and a waste of money imo
other hand, they just keep going for making the most controversial decisions with zero thought lmao
probably could have said the same about Google and XMMP, but look what happened
corporations exist to make money, and this includes eliminating or incorporating anything that could get in their way or make money
the fact that the Fediverse is starting to get a bit more popular is going to convince them to get in on it (and then eventually try to control as much of the market as possible) or make it irrelevant so the average person is funneled to them again
nah, you're right
the term always gives me images of channer culture; like it reminds me when the internet as a whole thought that 4chan and its ilk were cool and elite for being shitty for "lulz"
it needs to be retired
why not? the thing about the Fediverse, once again, is that you get to choose who you want your instance to associate with
they temporarily don't want to associate with big instances with loose registration requirements, and it's because they're afraid that they wouldn't be able to handle any possible flows of bad actors from those instances with how small their team is and how barebones the Lemmy mod tools are currently
which sounds really reasonable to be quite honest
a lot of people back on Reddit could not give less of a shit about the issues and just want their content; they even see this as just mods powertripping again
it's kind of annoying to see that, tbh, even if I sort of get it
Oh, cool; more reason to use Piped and Invidious lmao
It is; I've seen some Reddit users complain about how the fediverse isn't immediately easy to use and is too complicated and confusing
which is understandable, but also it feels like some of those who are complaining about it (I am stressing right now that I don't mean all of them) straight up don't want to have to learn about it; they want their content immediately and they want it as simple as pushing a button
