Former reddit user. Sad to leave, but I’d rather support a community that aligns with truly free and open communication.

  • This is very possible, and it is important to remain cognizant of this possible goal. However, I think it is ultimately our responsibility as members of the fediverse to ensure that we are making the non-Meta communities interesting and engaging.

    Ultimately, if an instance does become toxic to the principles of another instance, then de federation always exists as a nuclear option. 🤷‍♂️


  • Agreed. The absolute best case would be having Meta publishing open source contributions to existing projects or making their software FOSS. However, very few corps have ever been willing to make that type of commitment.

    I don’t think we should be praising Meta for making Threads, but I also don’t believe there is a need to actively detest it’s existence. If nothing else, I hope that its compatibility with ActivityPub allows mainstream users to find some niche communities that interest them, which they may never have found otherwise.

    I understand the sentiment, but it seems like a bad take to assume that because a corporate entity produces an app that can interface with the Fediverse then it will kill the Fediverse.

    If Threads has some features that draw people’s attention then it should serve as a guide to help the TPA developers set course for future features.





  • Unfortunately, my static had to take a step back due to some scheduling conflicts, so we have gotten to raid Savage yet this tier. That being said, we ran through the last set just before this set dropped.

    I have really enjoyed pandemonium! It has been a ton of fun and the mechanics feel like just the right balance of challenging but absolutely doable for most folks. I think that the run when our group finally nailed the sleepo strat for P7 was one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had raiding since BCoB.
