I never thought it would be so easy to stop going on Reddit, but this place is good enough

There are ancaps here?

There shouldn’t be. Can we please start bullying them?

Europeans are just as susceptible to racism as Americans.

Trump is president and this is their priority?

Can this country stop falling apart for one week please?

Is Threads even a good enough product for users to be willing to endure ads?

Lemmy is probably the best fedidiverse project so far and it's not even close

According to fedidb.org, Lemmy has plateaued at around 43k active users over the past year.

If you ask me, though, it doesn't matter. The Lemmy ecosystem is active and healthy.

I like this Lula guy

Bluesky's ActivityPub support is also leagues better than Threads because of Bridgy Fed. At least a Bluesky user and a Mastodon user can follow each other and have a back-and-forth conversation.

Lemmy instances should follow suit.

Why would anyone be surprised by this? Zuckerberg would have to be a complete idiot to not use Instagram's existing social graph for Threads.

r/piracy is probably on borrowed time. Might as well return it to normal and wait for it to inevitably be banned. By then, Lemmy should hopefully be more polished.

God I can't wait for that website to die already

Finally some good fucking news

Apple are the only other ones big enough to throw their weight around. Hopefully they join in.

Donald Trump is a pedophile rapist.

It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.

I don't really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.

To answer your question, it's inertia. People need to be forced of Twitter if before they join Mastodon/Bluesky/Threads
