fuck you unvulcans your spock

I don’t really care about Gargron and the other growth-focused admins, I literally use an instance that hides stuff from mastodon.social lol

That’s why every instance worth its salt will defederate from day one

I expect to see zero posts from Facebook on my feed

They can already gather what’s posted publicly 🤷‍♀️

others will either have to follow, or risk dropping out

Honestly, they should. Drop out of the spec if Facebook gains control over it, I mean. Fuck em, I don’t care if I can’t federate with Instagram, in fact I prefer it that way.

The problem with the idea that each community should be its own instance basically comes down to cost, both financial and time. If I want to make a community about something I’m passionate about I’d have to shell out money I don’t have on hosting, buy a domain, learn how to actually host and administrate a Lemmy instance, and then spend like half of my time and energy maintaining it.

Not everyone is a programmer with programmer knowledge making programmer money.

Because she’s a regular person and not a company, the police exists to protect capital. There is actually no legal duty for the police to protect people.

I agree with the sentiment but I hate wojaks 💀

Non-fascists using imagery fascists created or adopted is exactly what they want cause it helps muddy the waters and hide their dogwhistles

Tbh it’s capitalism. It teaches people to be afraid of choices, and to just take what the corporation is handing them. It’s… disconcerting how pervasive this kind of convenience culture has become and what kind of effect it’s having on people’s lives

Fedi doesn’t have an onboarding problem, people have a capitalism problem
