I think this is a culture clash between the privacy minded FOSS crowd that is naturally drawn to a project like Lemmy and the influx of average redditors thats just looking for a new home.
If you already have zero trust in these megacorporations you will naturally gravitate towards preemtive defederation.
The fediverse is entirely public. Every action you take (all posts, votes, favorites, etc) is public. Meta will scrape all the data whether Threads federates or not, there’s no privacy difference because there’s no privacy!
I don’t think any sane reddit refugee would trust corporations after experiencing first-hand how that ends up lol
If you’re out there reading this as a reddit user looking for a new home, and you can still have trust in these megacorporations, idek what to say lmao
Accurate. I’ve known for years that Reddit was going to go this way. As soon as I heard of this place I was onboard.
But seriously though, I don’t want my feed filled with Facebook posts.
Hey everybody come look at the off-putting nerd that scares away the hot girls at parties with his screeds
Why yes, I have been told by friends that I don’t need to respond to memes with an in depth analysis because its just a joke, how did you know?
Are people really saying “the fediverse is doomed”?
Yeah, lol. But tbh threads can get outta hand but if Lemmy is doomed the next thing will have risen up 3 years ago and will have a small but enthusiastic community waiting for us.
