And remind ourselves that it find very easily happen to the fediverse! All it takes is mass defederation, some vulnerability, anything ego driven… humans still run this platform and it wouldn’t take much to bring it down.
the Fediverse is growing, but still small. If anything (as much as I’m personally enjoying it) at this stage of growth, it would be still statistically likely to fade to irrelevance in a few years, so it would not even be big news.
Seeing a couple of the Big Socials being dismantled this way at the same time is… something else. I’m getting tired too of all this coverage about Twitter and Reddit and start wishing Lemmy had filtering by keyword, but rationally I know it’s granted.
I definitely can’t log on without hearing about how any even remotely popular instance is actively working to create an echo chamber for the right by defederating anything that might even consider allowing a community to the left of centrist dems.
I think, given what I’ve seen so far, is that there’s going to basically be faschie status quo lemmy and then everyone else lemmy.
Because capitalism is so great and superior if you let it’s adherents so much as think there’s literally any other option it all crumbles to dust immediately 😂
Sometimes it’s fun to just sit back and watch platforms combust due to their own arrogance.
We’ll save you a seat, but you’ll need to bring your own popcorn.
Anyway I’m glad this shitshow happened because it was a much needed boost for federated software like Lemmy.
These were weeks where decades happened.
Remember the old memes? Those were the days…
In AD2001, memes were beginning.

Turns out X is giving it to itself. Ironic.
Fuck waitin’ for you to get it on your own

I believe some of the apps do have keyword filtering, but idk which ones.
Might be worth looking into if it’s something you want to avoid.
