MishMash

The only posts bots should be making is mega threads for events. Content posted should be organic from the user to drive discussion and not what some bot wants to repost from Reddit/hn/etc.

I’ve already blocked several bots to improve my experience, since my feed was being overrun by bots posting to various communities.

But that’s the risk taken when you create a protocol (ActivityPub) that anyone can tap into. You can’t create something that is open to everyone and then pitch a fit when entity you don’t like or agree decides to take advantage of it. Regardless of how big Threads get, it can’t supecede the ActivityPub protocol. If they decided to defederate down the road in attempts to extinguish the Fediverse, it won’t work, those users will still remain and Threads will go on it’s merry way. Meta can’t kill a W3C protocol.

I’m all for individual users blocking Threads if they’d like to, but I think it’s a terrible idea for instance admins to make that decision for all of their users.

Personally, I don’t see why this is so controversial. I view it as a way to follow the celebs and organizations that would rather use threads, but from the comfort of Mastodon that is outside of Meta’s ecosystem.

ActivityPub and the Fediverse is designed to for natural selection to take place. So let it. The users that want to be part of the Fediverse are already here and won’t don’t leave based on what Meta does with Threads. Threads utilizing ActivityPub in the future justifies the means of the Fediverse more than anything else IMO. I despise Meta as much as the next person, but this is not the end of the Fediverse as we know it.

Jim also swears he saw Lorne Michaels when he was in NYC with Karen for the Job Interview.

So with Spez having a hard on for Elon and how he runs Twitter, how long until we see this on Reddit? Premium members can view 1000 posts/day and regular members can only view 100 posts/day. Similar rule will apply to comments too.

The app is barely a month old and it’s extremely barebones right now. I’m sure the devs have plenty of features in mind, but it’s important to focus on getting what features are already present to work without crashing the app.

Hopefully there will be a roadmap in the near future.

Came here to say the same. I’ve replaced google searches with BingAI prompts and get what I need, AD free, just about every time.

Requirements were posted on the Steam page yesterday. Recommended is an i5, 2080 and 16GB of ram.

I’ve already made my plans to settle in the Fediverse/Lemmy. Yes, it’s Reddit with extra steps, but the smaller communities, more tailored instances, and to be a part of something in its infancy compared to where Reddit is now, is really appealing to me.

Plus, this won’t be the last time time Reddit screws with it’s users. There will be more influxes of users in the future to look forward to.

I’m wondering if this is more related to server/network issues vs. issues with app itself. With a lot of people migrating from Reddit, Lemmy instances are being hammered. I run into similar issues just browsing my instance within my mobile browser.

Looks like they baked in a lot of the Quality of Life mods from the first game. Looking forward to picking this up!
