Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important
  • We have a moral and ethical obligation as humans to exclude any participation from Facebook or Meta. Facebook knew their algorithm increased suicide rates among it's users, but actively suppressed this information because they also knew their algorithm made them more money. The more depressed and addicted Facebook users became, the more money Facebook made. And when they went before Congress to answer for this, Zuckerberg just did nothing, took no accountability, and nothing changed.

    This isn't about boycotting and trying to do some kind of ethical capitalism, it's about not letting Hitler submit changes to your git repo regardless of what those changes technically are. They could be the most technically brilliant changes ever made to an open source project, but they would still be Hitler's changes.

  • If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.
  • Can we just go back to BBS where you have dial in with your land line to post on a board? The difficulty of use acted like an awesome protection from any community growing too large too fast and was super easy to moderate. I just want to pull my socks up to my knees, yell at the clouds, and dial in to the NG BBS...

  • Reddit Was Fun @lemmy.world Gunbudder @lemmy.world
    RIF was very important to me

    RIF was important to me in a way that's hard to describe. I will always consider it the pinnacle of minimalism functional design. and it was not function over form either, RIF looked amazing.

    Is anyone throwing out invites for tildes? i suppose i should have tried to get in sooner, but i was holding out hope that reddit would get it together and back off. They seem determined to digg themselves though.
