busybodies about the fediverse who stick their nose into other people's business, tell people who they shouldn't talk to and what phrases, terminology are unacceptable.
notorious for refusing to let bygones be bygones and dredge up irrelevancies from years ago.
What is interesting about lemmy is that you can start a thread on a different server. You can't follow people on lemmy, just communities. It seems that this model results in a network with topics are a central feature whereas on Mastodon the central feature is the individual account.
I've always found the microverse(mastodon) to be a poor place for discussions; they tend to be way to disjointed, spread out.
The character limit on posts on most Mastodon servers also results in people limiting..
I'm becoming more suspicious of Facebook's project to integrate a new service into the fediverse.
It makes absolutely no sense.
An open 'social network protocol' and its implementaions are a threat to multi-billion companies like Facebook who absolutely need to retain tight control over their user base to extract profits.
Once plugged in the danger of their user base 'escaping' through the new connection is large.
But I still can't quite pin down why they are doing it.
@fedi serious question do you work with end users often or no? It’s not learned helplessness, they don’t care. It’s one more thing to deal with they simply don’t care about and to them Facebook is working already. Many have a “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality.
As thousands of mods defy reddit and keep their subreddits dark reddit appear to be taking substantial actions with reports of mods being stripped of their positions and subreddits handed to more compliant mods.
As long as you are on reddit, reddit will always control the 'root' account.
/r/piracy and /r/startrek which famously opened lemmies have now been co-erced into opening back up.
