Ew. I bet it’s filled with nerds. Like me.

(Also, my wife probably wouldn’t be thrilled if I used this.)

EDIT: Dang it, Lemmy. This post is 2 years old.

I’m a simple man.

No doubt Threads-related…

Quite a few people on here really go off-the-rails when it comes to .world not coming out and outright blocking it before it’s a thing. (while also forgetting it affects Mastodon, and not-so-much Lemmy)

To be totally honest, I’d prefer if Lemmy stuck to Lemmy, Mastodon stuck to Mastodon, etc…

Having structurally incompatible types of sites linking into each other is almost always messy. Sharing info between them is accomplished by just giving an URL more often than not.

🤷

On the other end, there’s also the Executive Monkey aspect.

At some point, fighting every battle has a toll. See the decline in the population’s mental health as activism increases.

As an apathetic Gen-X’er, I just acknowledge that I’ll never make it so everything is exactly the way I want it to be. Some stuff just sucks. And so do I.

Yes, I know… But there’s no need for Meta to extinguish Mastodon if we do it ourselves?

And this is how you gut the Fediverse… Don’t even give people the option to run their own single-user instance to avoid the drama. Defederate them, too. Splinter everything into oblivion.

EDIT: Seriously. As someone who isn’t a hardcore militant FOSS federation activist, this is the kind of stuff that makes me want to throw up my hands and say, “Screw it. I guess I’ll go sign up at Threads.”
