Why is it so lonely in the fediverse
  • Nobody said anything about FB users. I have seen a bunch of people I follow on Twitter trying to move to Threads. And if I could just completely abandon Twitter and communicate with these people I follow via Mastodon, I'd rather choose for them to move there instead. And nobody's making you talk to them if you don't want to, right? We are talking about ~being able~ to talk to them, not having to.

  • Why is it so lonely in the fediverse
  • What's with all the hate about federating with Threads? I thought people would be happy to hear a big player is coming to the fediverse that's going to bring a bunch of people with it. "Normies" will probably never use Mastodon or Lemmy but might use Threads, so being able to communicate with them while staying on my little community-ran Mastodon instance is a win for the fediverse in my book. And if somebody's annoying or whatever, you can always block them, right? Can somebody clarify why people think everyone should automatically defederate with them and lose such a big userbase? I mean, I hate Facebook/Meta as much as the next guy, but more users are more users...

  • Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?
  • Mastodon is pretty good with federation stuff. All that is different from Twitter is that all accounts have two @ signs in their names but that's it. Everything else is pretty seamless, at least on the phone with the official mobile app

  • ELI5 Reddit to Lemmy
  • Your account would disappear, yes. It's the same as email really. If Gmail were to be shutdown, your Gmail account would go with it even though everybody using other email services would still see your already sent emails in their local inboxes
