Who’s got a copier at home?
Or at the library!

Ah, landowner class, checking in with bullshit as per usual

8 miles isn’t too far to bike! I used to ride about that to commute. When I started, it took me around 40 minutes to get there, and an hour and a half back. Slight incline one direction.

About six months in, I was down to 20ish there, and less than 40 back.

Winter sucked pretty bad, someone got me gore-tex mittens though. Still had my eyelashes freeze

Man. I zapped all my cookies the other day, and when I re-loaded reddit, it forced me into a new new version of the mobile site.

Now almost every single comment that isn’t top level is hidden behind the ‘more comments’ button. When I click it, the whole page reloads, with the top comment and the one response. And a button for the next reply. And so on.

I’ve noticed since this change, almost no posts have any discussion any more at all. Which honestly. Why would you bother?

So you’re saying you Want your experience here to be dominated by ads, lies, and propaganda?

That’s exactly their goal

Well I can’t afford to pay for that much server traffic, can any of us?

Where will we be when meta own all the servers?

For some reason I can’t dowvote this, so: this is a fucking stupid take

So when they steamroll this place so hard you only get their side of the story, what then?

The fuck is wrong with you?

If you like meta so much, why are you here?

Do you understand what corporations do?

I’d rather not build a bridge to the land of festering pustules to begin with

Please let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

Xmpp’s popularity isn’t the point.

The point is google intentionally killed it

Just think:

Meta has literal billions of users.

The entire fediverse has about 1.5 million.

Less than a fraction of a percent.

Why in THE FUCK would meta notice, or care, at fucking all? The entire fediverse of traffic ported over to meta wouldn’t budge their advertising bottom line.

But, it’s a comparatively small group of smart people, having conversations, and profiles they don’t have tabs and near total control over.

There’s news about cop city and gaza I have seen here that I’ve seen NOWHERE else.

Don’t let them control the narrative here

I really don’t think that’s the case.

This is a nice little place, meta barging in Will fuck it all up

Are you planning to pay for the extra bandwith to deal with all the additional traffic?

Meta will.

And then when they own the servers amd all the traffic, lemmy will be quietly murdered.

Quietly, because they’ll control the traffic, and therefore the narrative

Everywhere this pops up, the users have decided:

Fuck meta. Fuck threads. Fuck the zuck.

Do not associate. Defederate now

Well, google And the fbi
