As I’m understanding it Meta tied Threads in with Instagram accounts. If you had an instagram account, a Thread account was automatically created. So I bet a large part of those 10million are zombie accounts.

Does Lemm.ee plan to de-federate from instagram threads?

Reply in thread

It’s not direct no, the concern I have regarding Meta’s algorithm stems from their size. By being so large, what is popular on Meta’s side would spill over. And I feel the way Meta shapes conversations through their algorithms always ends up in the most dumb and harmful content.

I’m honestly just kinda hoping it won’t be me scrolling on Lemm.ee and all the sudden see the type of shit I can view on Facebook because one person went and visited a Thread made up of Instagram users who just got enrolled in “the new Twitter”.

Looking to ditch Sonos Beam (sound bar) - any hardware and software recommendations?

Does everything have to be all in one, or are you open to exploring passive speakers and a receiver?

Since this is in Homelab, I’m assuming you have access to a 19” rack. You could rack mount any amplifier (I like crown amps personally) and then feed either a Bluetooth or Raspberry Pi using a line/headphone amp. That also gives you the ability to continuing adding amps to feed more speakers around the house. That’s my homelab answer.

Home theater answer would be to look at a home theater receiver.

This raised an interesting question in my head. How would the community respond to a brand/corporation hosting their own Lemmy community?

There are a few businesses I truly would not mind having an official place for community discussion and feedback. But like, not the GAP or Hobby Lobby. Those guys can fuck right off. But I personally have to realize some people want those communities as much as I want the things I like.

So where on earth would the line be drawn between useful and spam?
