    I left Facebook to get away from the brain rot. Please don’t bring their demographic to spread here.

    Allowing threads to federate is like allowing a virus to enter the system.

      These “wait and see” dingdongs have somehow not learned from decades/centuries of history about how “hearing people out” in situations like this only leads to negative outcomes.

      I agree, but I’ve changed my stance to a wait and see approach. This is what we think will happen, will probably happen, and what I’m interested most of all in, is how Lemmy.world responds once things come to pass. I’ve got agency here to switch to another perfectly good instance that doesn’t federate with Threads, so if Lemmy.world allows social toxicity to prosper…I’ll just leave. The Fediverse rocks.

          If anybody can patent it, it’s the W3C who holds it.

          Aaron Swartz was working on self hosted social media before ycombinator merged his product with what became reddit.

          Facebook is a little too late to the game to get any credit.

            Technically Mark was late to the game on social media* but he just fucked the guys over who made FB and took it for himself…

      No offense but lemmy has its own brain rot and echo chambers. Not being exposed to the majority of the public reinforces a lot of this. You’re just exchanging one kind of circlejerk for another.
