Elon's done with people blocking his shit takes. You will be forced to see the bitcoin scams no matter what!!!

The transformation is complete we are officially better than reddit.

web3 was always a cryptocurrency scam and was doomed to fail. Federation is more a return to the early web with a way to link everything together to compete and get similar services to megacorps while distributing costs.

with that price tag, I'm surprised more people aren't copying that floppy.

I think having the defaults set to global instead of local when searching will make it easier for new users to find communities and only show a few lemmy instances that are good to show for new users, the biggest complaint is that lemmy ( and all federated services ) are too complicated trying to find a instance.

I'm not a fan of Pixelfed, or instaclones. But the idea of a messenger e2ee that works with all the fedi is such a awesome idea.

In the comments, though, ReddPlanet’s developer (u/lupeski, aka Tony Lupeski) said “this is a blatant lie,” noting that he had tried multiple times to get in contact with Reddit regarding these changes and had been ignored. Another indie app developer said they had filled out a request for Enterprise API access three times and had received no response. They're not even giving api access to people who could pay. What lying shits.

It's because he just regurgitates all his takes from /g/ on 4chan.

It's because a system where everything is controlled by one person is so commonplace that any other idea seems foreign and impossible, or more often these days not profitable.

lol, reddit admins are putting down the resistance on 2010 meme pages.

It's really different compared to a lot of forums in the early days where everyone use to say 'lurk moar'

Thanks for the heads up; I should have used the preview button.

I think with federation gets more popular a lot of it may come back in a way.

I do miss it a little because they definitely had a culture that was unique, compared to sites like Twitter or Reddit.

Darknet diaries is a classic!

It's a never ending debate on how to "onboard" new users with all the growth. Honestly I'd think it would be easier to compare it to email. like a simple look it all works together just get a account and it will federate. It doesn't matter too much where you sign up your account it's able to send and receive email from everyone. But, everyone gets overwhelmed by choices and not knowing the difference between servers. Something like a email app where it gives you a list to pick and a other option would be good imo.

I think peertube has a livestreaming option. But, i don't think a lot of streamers would jump to it because lack of monetization options.

Google is the biggest of browser and http/s internet based protocol, so much bigger that everyone plays by googles rules. if they set out manifestv3 the other browsers that are not compatible will not work, and as a result people will abandon them.

idk, I think a few definitely will, however I think it will be like Netflix where people accept it until lemmy/kbin/fediverse as better options all together.
