ooh-rawr!

There was an Out of the Loop post that discussed this: https://lemmy.world/post/310513

I just want to point out that a group of people are gathering to ensure that they don't agree to follow a person that they don't have any obligation to follow anyway.

That's some straight up gaslighting shit. If they can figure out to charge it, they can print it on a bill.

"Marketing" is a corporate euphemism for manipulation.

With people learning about Fediverse, I'm guessing Instagram. Why? Because IG has become overwhelmed with influencers and TikTok-like junk. The initial wave of people into Pixelfed will be techies that want a break from that scene. Their friends will hear about it. The friends that just want to have an IG-like experience to share their pictures with friends while avoiding all the rest of the noise will slowly transfer over. Once they hit the critical mass, the switch will happen. This will take at least another year or two.

omg, kbin and Lemmy are about to get hit with waves of new users. the poor servers

In your posted link, are subs in green glowing font already dark? Is that what that means?

Serious question: Since it's a federated system that is open-source, what do their political views have to do with supporting the platform? Even if they decide to become Neo-Nazis and change it, the rest of use can continue to use the work they've made thus far and keep it like it is or improve on it. Our use of it doesn't support their political aspirations either aside from their beliefs in federated social media.

those are the admins of one instance. if you don't like them, you can join another or create your own

yep, I had a similar train of thought

[spez] screwed up so bad, and it's obvious he's quite stupid...I'm wondering if he was given the Ellen Poa treatment. The investor's knew what changes they wanted to implement to increase revenue, had him implement it, then made him take all the flak. Next, they'll replace spez with someone else, seemingly roll back a few of the changes, and say they're working with the reddit community. The thing is that it's obvious that reddit is irreparably infected. The diseases cannot be eradicated because the disease is corporate greed. Reddit began its time in hospice the moment they shared they were going public. It's over. Done. Say you final goodbyes. RIP in pieces.
