I also noticed that when Lemmy links do appear it’s often to a random federated instance, not the original source.

No one person can control everything.
Doesn’t seem to be stopping you from trying!
Eh, I think you’re projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got “butthurt” because he didn’t want to play with you.
It’s no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn’t think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.
He said “this” experiment, not “the fediverse” which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).
That said, I’m honestly curious what do you care about his “toxicty” if he’s not an admin of your instance? You don’t seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?
I’m glad we agree.
What did you interpret the premise to be? I read the post when it was up, and it read to me like OP was saying essentially that too many toxic users and not enough admins willing to stand up to them make the overall experience not fun.
EDIT: Which is accurate in my mind at least when it comes to Lemmy
Sounds like a major perk of that instance to me.
I don’t disagree, but OP didn’t ask for trend predictions. Anyone who tries to convince you “things” are worse today than than they were in 1995 is either trying to gaslight you, or doesn’t consider the experience of the LGBT community to be as equally valuable as everyone else.
Unless you’re part of a marginalized group I suppose.
This is a pretty dismissive take. “Sure, things have improved for the blacks and queers, but what about us… uh, regular folk?”
Hilarious that that account’s made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.
I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.
I like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.
Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day…
I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.
Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.
You’ve got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those “quirky, weird” websites people nostalgize over weren’t seeking clout, they were seeking connection.
I think it’s healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that “followers” are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making “art” with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then… that’s just a job, imo.
“EEE” doesn’t really make sense in this context, and even if there was some way for Meta to affect non Meta-owned instances- ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta is allowed to use it however they want.
Got it, very interesting! I look forward to it being worked out soon, Wordpress federation is awesome.
Still not fully integrated, but it’s nice to see broader ActiviyPub adoption beyond “follow a handful of users who opted-in”. I never expected Meta to be the company inching towards federation and not bluesky. Makes me wonder if Tumblr will ever follow through with their promises to federate.
edit: To the (sadly predictable) response that “Meta will screw you over in a heartbeat” YES, of COURSE they will, that’s why it’s GOOD to be able to access Threads content safely and privately from a non-Meta controlled platform.
This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It’s really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn’t get bogged down with technical details.
Fortunately “groupthink” on the fediverse isn’t a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.
