From a distance I bet it could be perceived this way

Great news. it’s also nice to see they are more accurately counting active users with the latest update. I still think Lemmy will surpast a million active users with in a year or two.

Awesome

Is there any research going on for anti-aging in cats yet?

Also Reddit has been around for over a decade and lemmy has existed for about 4 years. It’s hard to compare the two in that regard.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I guess I’ve gotten so use to today’s pirating techniques that my perception of what is considered easy has changed. Reading through your post, I’m reminded of how much easier it really was back then.

Care to elaborate?

Talk about an unpopular opinion. But hey your entitled to your opinion

Can I hijack this thread a for a small side bar? Why is Microsoft already replacing 11?

It’s better than nothing. Hopefully we can speed this up in next couple of years.

I look forward to this happening

You have Canada doing their part, and now another English speaking country. Plus most of Europe seems to be on the right path. When will the rest of the world just finally shun the US for a being little bitch? Or idk like punish us with tarrifs or whatever idk…This coming from a disgruntled US citizen, I fucking hate this place.

Oh I thought we were on the shitposting or meme community.

Yeah this is a broad over exaggeration of the situation. Also using 4chan to drive a point is so over done to the point its a meme in itself.

But we are making the decision together. Look at all the conversations we’re having. Your confusing “not having a choice” with “learning to except majority opinion”

Trust me, the people in charge of the instances aren’t defederating because of their personal opinion. They are listening to us and making choices on what the majority feels.

People who keep touting the point that defederating from Meta means we are cutting people off from fediverse are picturing this situation wrong. Based on what I’ve read, people see this little island of people compared to the mainland where there will be physical barrier because shouldnt tear down the bridge.

But the net isnt like that. People have just as much freedom creating a Threads account as they do a Lemmy or Mastodon account.

And don’t say that the fediverse is too difficult to understand for the average person. That kind of rhetoric is what will push people away.

Everyone needs to be patient with growth. It’s not going to happen in a year just like it took years for reddit to grow. I do believe that more and more people will be interested in the fediverse once they realize that corporate oversight is non existent here. And that can only happen if we keep the major instances disconnected from Meta or any for profit company.

It’s really interesting to see the two sides of the coin. People are extremely passionate on both sides. I didn’t think people on the side of “in favor of federating with Threads” were just as passionate.

Wow calm down. I thought he was making a joke about shareholders. You don’t have be a dick about it.
