What? Meta won’t control moderation on Mastodon.social just because they can communicate with each other. I want to be able to call politicians twats and “cunts” without fearing a banhammer. That’s what it boils down to really.

Yep lol. This is tinfoil hat shit. Meta is evil but they’re using ActivityPub now, deal with it. People wanted the protocol to be popular, and now it is. You got what you wished for!

Welcome to the popular kids’ club now.

I don’t agree with it. Lemmy won’t be affected anyhow since the use-case is so so different. We hardly interact with Mastodon. We’ll be fine.

Still not convinced. If Mastodon or ActivityPub dies we’ll have Bluesky and AT. Not worried. Good to have options.

I know we all dream of having all our friends and family on the Fediverse so we can avoid proprietary networks completely. But the Fediverse is not looking for market dominance or profit. The Fediverse is not looking for growth. It is offering a place for freedom. People joining the Fediverse are those looking for freedom. If people are not ready or are not looking for freedom, that’s fine. They have the right to stay on proprietary platforms. We should not force them into the Fediverse. We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.

This is incredibly naive. Mastodon/ActivityPub is much more popular than XMPP was lol

Why?

Lmao do people want ActivityPub to be relevant or not? Defederating yourselves from millions of users is idiotic.

I was looking forward to being able to use a mastodon to interact with people on Threads but apparently that’s the worst thing ever for you guys? What?

Why are people mad at this? Being able to communicate with Threads users from mastodon servers, is good? Right?

Yep. Finding new users and Content on mastodon is impossible because the nerds who run it hate THE ALGORITHM and social media addiction. Same reason they held out on basic features like quote tweeting until recently.

Bluesky is basically just OG twitter, plus you can make your own algorithm feeds. It’s cool.

Pretty good. People have been playing armored core 4 on there for ages now
