If you have to make it a specific domain, reddthat.com seems appropriate
Regarding voting, of course, it should be done after familiarizing oneself with the post to some degree greater than the title.
I meant changing people’s minds. While just the title won’t convince people to think a certain way, it will remain in their minds as one of many opinions on the topic they encountered. And it’s a shame if that opinion is the opposite of what the author has in mind.
A small reminder that clickbaity titles like this work against the author’s view for all the people who read just the title and scroll further. (And they’re not to blame. You can’t read everything)
TL;DR of the article:
Fall of Twitter and Reddit helped the Fediverse grow. Most users don’t know or care how Federation works and don’t realise the necessity of donations. Fediverse either remains niche or becomes mainstream, the future is not set in stone.
This is excessive. I know they’re angry. I know they have a reason to be. I know they don’t mean this literally. But this is not okay. Maybe it’s less not-okay than what u/spez did, but it doesn’t justify doing this.
Please, let us not follow the same path this far.
This is actually used as a verb, as ending something slowly and gradually, so as not to cause sudden and disrupting changes.
Sunsetting Python 2 for example lasted 12 years (extended from original plan of 7 years).

This is actually an interesting argument I haven’t heard before. I guess it’s being downvoted because it’s used as the ultimate argument, which it’s not. I still believe EEE is more than likely.
I don’t agree with you entirely, but you’ve added to the discussion. Upvote from me
Defederating “from this and that” is actually sometimes problematic here. It’s about instance admins finding balance between freedom and usability (limiting spam and hate). Beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world defederated from exploding-heads.com etc. These decisions were controversial, but they weren’t bold. On the contrary, much thought and care went into these and that can be seen in communities’ support for them (in case of Beehaw, along with hopeful awaiting of refederation by users and admins alike).
But that seems not to be the main issue you’re presenting. Defederating from Threads specifically is an entirely different matter. And people who advocate for it, including myself, have more arguments for it than just privacy.
Possibly included some too advanced characters in the “Name” field?
Honestly, I didn’t believe this would happen. I thought all who wanted to migrate have done this already and there would be maybe a couple hundred people joining us today. I’m glad I was wrong. Gives me hope in people of the Internet standing up for what they deserve.
I’m using Bing AI, but that itself uses ChatGPT. The answers are well written, but I feel like it’s important to keep in mind that language models, by design, lie often and do it in an extremely plausible way. Use AI all you want, but never rely on its answer without proper fact-checking.
I think it’s the least worrying of possible stances protecting possession of CP
