They’re so gross lol

Federation will become part of our cultural language and people will come over at that point.

They’ll start setting standards, other instances will comply, and meta will control (or destroy) the fediverse.

You think we can’t get people to join lemmy unless our Genius Daddy Savior Zuck brings them in?

Nobody is suggesting that we destroy Threads. We just don’t want to let it control the fediverse.

They will start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be mechanisms to control the fediverse and make it a data-gathering ad & sales platform.

This us exactly the threat. They’ll start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be ways to control the fediverse and make it a propietary data-gathering and sales/advertising platform just like everything else.

Good news! Fuck Zuck!

The universe growing souls like flowers, or something

I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.

What kind of FOSS software can you get for your android?
