It's already over, actually kind of boring. Please hack again.
Maybe ditching Lemmy.world makes sense but signing up on Lemmy.ml doesn't. Pick smaller instances and spread out guys. That's the entire point. :)
It's a bit funny that 100k users signed up on the same instance... :)
Fair point, thank you.
Yeah it doesn't take much for a small instance. My instance uses 1 GB of memory and like 2% cpu on each core (got 3 cores). But I only have a handful of active users.
You don't give much thought to what Threads wants to do to the fediverse, and your concern is only what benefits yourself in the short term.
Just be aware of that. Many of us older folks have seen this process happen over and over. Threads will start to dictate what activitypub will be, and once it has many millions of users, it gives them power to influence the entire protocol.
And if people don't like that, they will have to come up with a new protocol and start over again. Which is exactly the cycle we are constantly experiencing.
I think we should not let them into our instances. Keep them as a corporate funded version of the fediverse, separate from the ones run by individuals.
But since each instance owner is free to do what they want, I estimate that many will federate with threads and suffer the consequences in the future.
You may not have to reincarnate here again if you keep those thoughts. :)
It's not about that... I don't know why it's so hard to understand the psychology here. They feel strongly that something is wrong and want to fight it. That's it.
Again, not supporting it at all but you should at least understand that they are not so different from us. They just grew up around hate for these things and continue to feel hate for these things.
If they would have grown up in a different environment, I don't think they would even care about any of this.
I'm not defending them but have you never had a strong conviction that something is wrong and you will do what you can to fight it?
That's how these people feel about gay people and so on. I can only assume they grew up around people who felt that way and they don't see the error of their ways.
Now I want adhd. Gimme some :)
There are topics that will make people turn against you in a second. People just don't talk about those. :)
I think we are just more into tech, and that's why we are here now. Because we are into tech, we care about what happens here and despise the behavior of reddit.
We are probably not smarter than other people, we just care more because of our interests.
Also a lot of us remember growing up on a internet without ads and corporations, and miss that experience.
Vendor made me laugh too. :)
If you spend too much time in Microsoft-land or Enterprise-ville, you will start to see everything as vendors. But in the open source world it's different.
