Federating with an entity that is publicly traded and has shareholders to answer to surely has a goal of endless profit growth - that’s the nature of capitalism. The current spirit of the fediverse is one not driven by profits. What we have now will very likely change into something that doesn’t resemble our current experience once it’s engulfed by Meta.
You have evidence that I’m wrong, correct?
LMAO… “bribes”… no, I have no evidence of “bribes.” I don’t have any evidence of a financial incentive either, as very clearly evident by my phrasing starting with “I bet…” I’m simply relying on 40 years of not having my head completely up my own ass to make some inferences about things, and if I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. I think you’re being intentionally obtuse. None of this really is impactful, but you sure seem to have an agenda.
I wouldn’t call that a good reason to team up with Meta, but I would call it a plausible. Everyone does not want to federate with the largest social media company in the world, I can promise you that. If you like federation, you’d probably like it to not be engulfed by megacorps (unless you stand to profit from it).
I think I’ve logged in for a collective 15 minutes. I deleted it about 45 minutes ago.
Are you truly incapable of acknowledging that large bags of money motivate people to do unpopular things sometimes?
I really don’t care about Mastadon as I haven’t used it much, but I couldn’t really think of a good reason for federating with Meta.
Yea I was really confused to read that. I’m on Kbin / Lemmy significantly more than I log in to Mastadon (I think I’ve opened that app 5 times in the past year), so now I guess I’ll just delete Mastadon.
I bet he’s getting a big bag of money.

I tend to re-district for higher capacity and then add new, low density districts more to the outskirts as I progress.
So when do you go over to company B? I’m kinda confused.
“Please sir, could I have some more?” - windows user
“Huh, what?” - Linux user
I get random messages on LinkedIn from people that want to interview me weekly, and my team has also seen some voluntary turnover. I’m not sure that I believe the article.
X. I can’t think of a tech company that’s done more harm this year.
They are both wrong and they are both right. Up until this past week, I tended to be more sympathetic towards Palestine. Unfortunately, the most recent terrorist attack by Hamas was against more than just Israel or its military. It was a terrorist attack at a music festival, and Hamas attacked citizens of multiple nations.
It’s a lot easier to support Israel right now. It sounds like they’re about to commit their own atrocities though, so you might have to flip your position tomorrow.
I have one, “get great parking, 70% of the time.”
If I were laid off with the condition of “hey, we can’t afford you right now but we want to bring you back when we can…” and I earn more at one of those places, I’ll go back. Fuck it.
Perhaps. Who needs stars anyway?
I’ve exclusively used AMD GPU’s since building my first PC 27 years ago. I’m not aware of things “kinda-sorta” not working.
2 years is my guess.
