If you’ve seen the just chatting category, this is nothing new. People have been skirting ToS since the beginning. That’s why there’s an option to allow mature audiences or not, although it could be a lot more granular since mature language is basically on the same maturity as full blown nudity according to the option.
Being in control of who sees my post. Lemmy still lacks more granular post visibility like Mastodon does. If I restrict a message to followers on Mastodon, I know just they would see it, and so would their current instances which are much smaller and fragmented. Compared that to any social media where that’s going to easily be tracked on both sides. Federating with threads doesn’t change this. Also as you said, lack of analytics is nice. Privacy could definitely be improved though. Mastodon direct messaging is still weird and really should use e2ee.
Why do you hate user choice so much?
Sick, I get tons of more interesting content while being with a Mastodon instance I trust, a nice FOSS client to explore the content, and keep my privacy! If this actually bothered me, I could simply click the three dots and block the instance, so surely that shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
You guys frontin like we haven’t all done that as well

Just Chatting has been the dominant category for a very long time. Justin.tv was used for the creator to stream his daily life. This isn’t anything new.
Literally what is wrong with that
They don’t need to do that when the fedi is a thousandth of the size of their social networks lol. It’s hilarious that you think they need our user base.
On what lol
The whole two of them? What good XMPP client is there again?
Why do they hate freedom of speech and expression so much?
It’s the exact same thing with the big companies doing their own events, and even more frequent.
Meta does not give a shit to absorb the fedi. We are like a thousandth of their size, just a blip on their radar. I have no idea where people get this idea of self importance that Meta cares about their 10 user server.
I used to, but now don’t really care. Earbuds are really nice, except Bluetooth pairing is complete ass and you need to worry about it being charged.
I see it as just virtue signaling. At the end, we can choose to not join those servers who defederate with them, but I can also think it’s a stupid decision at the same time lol.
Finally a big W. Google backdoored Android with Google Play Services and gives itself special permissions that no other app can do. They should be under the same limitations that other apps are reserved to. That’s why projects like Sandboxed Google play is really awesome.
I’m tall and skinny. Unfortunately it doesn’t translate to picking up girls well
You directly told me to spin up my own server if I don’t like it lol, I didn’t tell anyone to do anything. Sharing an opinion isn’t the same thing as telling people what to do.
