Has been in earnest since about 2014 by my watch

You’re right. Narcissists are generally very concerned with what other people think - specifically about them.

I believe the memo is saying meta will benefit in the end because they can utilise community innovation already built in their own architecture

I’ve been embracing the weirdness of multiple platforms with distinct cultures and equally enjoying going to different parts of the internet again after quite some time! I do miss the sense that in browsing Reddit you could sample the cultural pulse of a particular demographic cluster.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

If I’m on the TestFlight is it important to switch?

Edit: question answered

It’s function serves moderators primarily. That said what you’re describing is a client side fix. Memmy on iOS already permits collapsing threads for instance

Automod was a useful tool, there’ll be a version here I’m sure.

I understand the why, I understand nothing about that list of instances or what it means. Is it a lot? A little? How do they link up? It’s just a list of what may as well be nonsense to me.

Volume of users is everything here. Picking up enough share grants you a tremendous gravity as a social service. Once a service has network effect on their side it takes an extraordinary amount to unseat them - and Instagram users will pad the numbers at first but who knows if they will engage. Fedi users are demonstrably early adopters willing to put up with a new service’s teething issues. If meta can plug in and grab them it’s a big win.

I don’t think fedi is currently competing with any meta property? This is an opportunistic land grab from meta aiming to capitalise on twitter’s weakness. Fedi offers them a ready made protocol tested at scale.

I wish that link helped explain anything at all about the information it displays

You’re clearly not here to have a meaningful conversation. Put the vitriol down or go back to Reddit.

Completely agree that this is where the really exciting potential is, but equally a potential for misuse as algo development will be a black box to most.

I think nit picking each others speech is the true cringe redditism

There’s an opportunity in this mess to re imagine the digital commons for the better. What does an online social space look like when it privileges the needs of the community over the needs of capital?

Memmy on TestFlight is pretty solid

Honestly I thought it would be tougher to switch. I know Reddit has a depth of content in niche communities and it’s tragic to lose that, but I’ve been delighted to find myself enjoying exploring a new system and all the weird and clever instances that are popping up.
