The Biden administration is working on improving train infrastructure but if you look at the map of what they’re adding, it’s limited to a very small section of the country. I mean, it’s like cross country but it’s such a massive country that it’s still super limited.

I wouldn’t say no doubt. Some certainly would do that, others could have more integrity.

I thought it was hilarious and works with their dishonor but I also wouldn’t have loved if they had been head banging to metal or going to town on some Klingon opera.

It’s derived from Hebrew.

This both sides stuff is so disingenuous. One side is populated by centrists who generally want to mostly do the right thing, occasionally being cruddy because they’re too conservative to do the hard things to improve the world. The other side is populated by white supremacist terrorists. That isn’t the same.

Why does this have upvotes whilst the literal exact same comment immediately above it in my feed posted by another account has downvotes? I mean, come on. Also, like the replies to the other comment said, you can post links to important news if you would like to spread awareness. But I don’t think you will because you just want to complain about the libs owning MTG.

Edit: wait I just realized this is a reply to that comment and more I’m even more confused.

Quick reminder that the GOP CD controlled supreme court destroyed student loan relief, not Biden. Let’s but blame him for their actions.

Well gee whiz, I have this little doggy avatar picture thing that I got… somehow? I assume that’s what you mean. I had no idea those were NFTs or that they were actually selling them. I just thought it was some stupid achievement I accidentally got.

Someone in another thread somewhere said it was stated on mastodon.world that they would only block in if something happens. I don’t remember what topic that was in so unfortunately I don’t have a link for you. At any rate, silence also speaks volumes.

The users who left were often likely to be the most dedicated (which is why they were the most butt hurt). This is only the beginning and the exodus will continue and the content will decline, although I don’t know why I’m even telling you this since you’re probably a spezbot.

Oh wait wut they have NFTs?

It’s all a matter of opinion but personally I don’t like watching videos and don’t care if I can post them. If that’s what you’re looking for in a platform this might not be the best one for you.

Trust me, they’ve taken any knowledge their new ex Twitter employees had about radicalizing people to keep them on the platform and integrated it fully.

Ideologically, I find more fault in inviting meta to the playground than locking them out. They are the very definition of an evil corporation and no good can come of it.

I don’t think threads actually has 30 million users. They have some paid shills, probably a lot of their own bots, some people who legit joined to see what it was about, and a bunch of Instagram users who had accounts created automatically. I’m not positive about the last point but if you can’t delete threads without deleting Instagram then I’m sure they’re going to leverage their Instagram userbase as much as possible here.

Maybe? But a lot of people have exited reddit over the last month. Maybe not the average user but not the most hardcore geek anarchist either-they weren’t on Reddit to begin with. Then there are the obvious reasons that a lot of people have left Twitter an those are the same type of people leaving reddit. So mastodon is probably more at risk than Lemmy but I don’t think for a second that meta would not throw together a Lemmy competitor if they smell any money whatsoever in it.

Either way you run risks simply by interacting with threads, even if you interact accidentally. Their entire business model is to suck every last piece of data out of you that they can so they can sell in every way they can possibly think of to monetize it.

Since lemmyworld has no intention of blocking them I’m finding another instance to move to. Better safe than sorry with a company that has a horrific record on every single issue. And that way if they federate then back out, I won’t be losing anything because I’ll have never seen that content to begin with.

You are correct about Tildes. They are very intentionally cultivating a different atmosphere and don’t want Reddit’s huddled masses. There is a subset of reddit users who fit there but it’s not the shitposting crowd.

Well, it might not be a 100% effective solution then but it does save users the trouble of accidentally interacting with content on Threads. If it doesn’t show up in my feed, I don’t click on it without noticing where it came from.

Many instances have proactively signed a pact to defederate from them but I don’t think lemmy.world did, and if they don’t I’ll be looking for another instance that does.

There is an anti meta pact. Encourage your instances to sign and follow through. https://fedipact.online/
