Meta/Instagram launched a new product called Threads today (working title project92). It adds a new interface for creating text posts and replying to them, using your Instagram account. Of note, Meta has stated that Threads plans to support ActivityPub in the future, and allow federation with ActivityPub services. If you...
This is just a short rant and is not meant to insult anyone already on here, or further newcomers that joined, join or will still join. Also reminder that this is based on my experience and not necessarily facts, YMMV....
Same here. Mods were the people that built the communities. I don't give a flying f*** to the admins, and as long as we get a good Leminn app, I'll be happy.
But, you see, the biggest problem here is: these generic users do not post anything. They may repost from Instagram or Tik Tok, or whatever, but if the power users, the ones responsible for the good content that the casual access leaves, it's just a matter of months for it to die for good.
Not gonna lie. I've gotten in a few arguments here and people are surprisingly polite. Like, for real. People respect and talk to you like you are a person with different opinions, and not the enemy. It's been great.

I, much like basically everyone here, have been avoiding Reddit when possible, and the content here just doesn't hit the same. My fried dopamine receptors were certainly screaming for stimulation early on but now I feel an urge to touch grass and breathe fresh air. What is this? Am I dying? I still hate the angry lightbulb in...
I feel that the "small" bump it has to be accessible makes it interesting for people that really want to access it. The 15 likes on a post feel like 15 real people, engaged, interested, and hit completely different from the 1.5k likes a post in reddit would get.
I really like NewPipe, but a feature that I was really found in Vanced that NewPipe still struggles is playing videos on PIP mode. It crashes constantly and I never found a way to make it more reliable.
How does this instance feel about this growing pact against federating with Meta? (fedipact.online)
