Personally, I’m excited there’s a decentralized option that’s super popular. Yes, relatively very few run their own PDS, but if the main bsky instance becomes a problem for anyone, people can easily migrate.

It’s not just data ownership either; The AT protocol supports community-built algorithms, relays, and app views.

I’m running my own PDS on the AT Protocol 🤷‍♂️

The cellular-bananular phone changed my life. I still sing it to this day

That must’ve been tough to do. You have the respect of at least one internet stranger 🫡

Honestly, AI trained on successful governance and social satisfaction would be a better president than what we have now. Then again, so would my cat.

humor is subjective

Fucking hilarious

Sites that must abuse our boundaries to not collapse, should collapse.

Reddit: “We’re going to make this place about selling you shit.”

The Squatting Redditor: “That’s perfectly fine. Reddit is still the same. It’s still awesome. Right, guys??”

Lemmy tell ya something. Reddit was awesome because it wasn’t a platform geared toward optimizing profit.

You can make profit on and profit off

Well LLMs are about to get a lot less reasonable.

We’re going to attempt to organize a larger logo and spread the word further around various Fediverse services. I get that a lot of y’all are opposed to visiting over there. I spent a lot of my day writing “Fuck Spez.” I don’t think we’re going to contribute to Reddit’s revenue much, and I think at the very least sending a message that the Fediverse is here is a good thing.

Then consider this a proof of concept. Let’s see if we can even get a little one in

*diaspora had something like this, but only in the sense you could easily migrate your identity with a few clicks. Not the same as a SSO, which would be great, imo.

What is Project Gateway? Looks like lots of projects call themselves that.

You handed all your data (including your browsing history) to Meta just to take a look around?

They could offer the slickest interface and keep people locked to their friends. That interface can use protocols that make it difficult/impossible for non-Threads instances to play ball (ooh this cool new feature is only available through the Threads app; Oh, my basement.world.ml.xyz can’t read that content). There are many ways to EEE, and I’m sure we haven’t even thought of some ways Threads could use.

I think defederation is our only option to protect what we have.
