This is correct that’s why it always kills me when my fellow Americans identity as Irish or some other nationality then in the same breath be antiimmigration. I’m like you wouldn’t be here if not for immigration. Only valid antiimmigration people are native Americans. For all these shit they have been put through they get a pass.

Yeah you are right, i blocked them . thanks I guess I lost my head there for a second.

I don’t want it as it makes posts feel hollow and evaporates any desire to engage. Since the Ai is not going to have a real option i value. So it just adds to noise and just looks like more sophisticated spam.

I’m pretty sure they do along with a few more companies it’s called the united states government.

Yeah but no one wants to write about the real solution. # See inglorious basterds for instructions.

People forget web forums were way smaller than lemmy and ran just fine and were very active. Lemmy has a very different use case to mastodon. Since you don’t need individuals to latch onto. We are having a discussion on lemmy as equals around a topic not followers of a person like how a Micoblog is designed to be.

I just wish they would understand I already have my phone and desktop redirect YouTube links to my alternate front end I don’t need the help

It didn’t help they did the exclusive invite only launch of the service making it appealing to that kind of person and pushing kind of behavior to 11.

Honestly I feel the fediverse is like the 90s internet. It’s like school clubs centered around different interests and it takes a little bit of work to find your peer group but once you do it’s great. People that look to it as a replacement for Twitter are looking for a town square to shout at people and hock their wares. Anyone that makes money from engagement ether directly or indirectly are not looking for camaraderie but a market.

The point being made is really just the identity of user being tied to [email protected] vs @handle it seems like that concept has died with Web 2.0. Only thing I would improve of the fediverse. If communities could be merged with when a group of instances agree to form a network. Like how IRC does it with channels. I mean yeah there would be netsplits from time to time but it would cut down on duplication and increase the traffic of niche communities like the benefits of central platforms get but it’s still distributed.
