Thanks for the thought out reply 🙏

Is there an easy way to cross post on here?

Threads isn't "successful", they just happen to own the social graph. Why can't people see this?

A compose file is meant for different components of a single service but you're allowed to experiment with whatever you want

I don't like threads. Not because I'm afraid of some corporate conspiracy. It's because it just isn't that good 🤷‍♀️

Interesting take. Yeah for some reason the word "federation" is scary even tho it's popularized as fuck in pop culture 🤷‍♀️

It seems like a common belief on here is "centrally located social networks erode democracy" 👍

Greater probably of subject matter experts existing. 👍 Bonus points for a solid logical argument

This is kinda what I was getting at towards the end of your comment. More shitheads doesn't necessarily mean better content

Even young people who aren't techies are clueless about more advanced stuff. The theory that old people don't understand technology because they didn't grow up with it is wrong

I passed this post like 5 times before I read it for this reason

Gives me Russia civil war vibes

I'm in the ghetto right now in a cheap motel but the room is actually kinda nice. Like fresh paint and carpet.

Nice to see speedups. I always thought it was ironic that kbin was faster than Lemmy when kbin is php and lemmy is rust. Makes sense it was database stuff. You can't solve that with language choice.

Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists

With the latest updates I've just been using the standard web client

The thing about having advertiser friendly nsfw content is actually really insightful

Someone posts "fediverse posts are federated" gets 400 up votes.
