Good morning guys, I don’t have Facebook anymore so just wanna ask if Threads and Egg Party(which PaoLUL played) is popular right now?
Threads is becoming popular among users because of Twitter’s reading limits implemented by Musk. However, there are other users switching to alternatives like Blue Sky and Mastodon.
Goodbye, Reddit, for good. My requested data is ready for download.
Ei congrats!
Umabot halos dalawang linggo simula nag-request ako.
wow, mabilis ah~ lol!
And di ko rin akalaing mag-proprocess sila ng request kahit na di ka taga-EU or California
I decided to deactivate my Threads account. Yes, I know it’s still there and I can’t delete it. But at least it’s away from public view.
Nakakairita how the influencers/celebrities inorganically generate engagement by posting dumb questions… which then gets recommended to me. Balik Mastodon na lang ako where it’s peace and quiet.
On the fence with deactivating threads, as (thankfully) influencers haven’t spilled over their junk content threads onto mine.
But with the fediverse coming extremely close to threads, i might deactivate soon without even so much of a “hello who’s there” post on threads lmao
Meta’s ‘friendly’ Threads collides with unfriendly internet
“If an account or server, or if we find many accounts from a particular server, is found violating our rules then they would be blocked from accessing Threads, meaning that server’s content would no longer appear on Threads and vice versa,” she said.
“With federation, the metadata that big platforms use to tie accounts to a single actor or detect abusive behavior at scale aren’t available,” said Stamos. “This is going to make stopping spammers, troll farms, and economically driven abusers much harder.”
I like how Meta (and an ex-Meta) is framing interoperability with the fediverse that they are the ones that’s potentially going to be the problem, lol.
Surprised to see some activity on our Raddle sister community, albeit from non-PH posters that were amused by the MMDA’s choice for an acronym. 😆
At least it’s not about MILF, again. 😂
Funny thing is, the next article I posted was about the MILF, completely unaware that it followed the MMDA one.
Ah. HAHAHAHAHAH! No one’s willing to make that joke, huh?
Edit:
Nvm. Someone actually made the joke:
The MMDA article and now a MILF article? I’m starting to think CNN’s Filipino branch is trolling us with their choice of acronyms.
So Angat Dam is reaching critical levels with El Niño just around the corner.
Time to do the John Lloyd-Sarah Geronimo rain dance and let all the offkey singers belt out their greatest hits.
I sometimes wonder if desalination is a viable solution to our water problems.
But then again, it might be more cost-effective to just build more dams to store water during the rainy season.
I’m not that educated on the subject, but last I’ve read (sparse and a long time ago), is that these plants cost a fuck-ton of money. We’ll see how it goes. Now that you mention it, might as well watch a docu on this.
TBH, the only reason it’s floating about the top of my head is because I’ve recently watched a vid by Practical Engineering on it.
let all the offkey singers belt out their greatest hits
Oh, it’s my time to shinemic test, mic test
Hi, from
lemmy.ml, a socialist planet, they say. lolBettor wins Lotto 6/42 jackpot worth P7.6M
Ang bait ng PCSO ngayong buwan ah. Makataya nga baka ako next, lmao.
Normal ba na agawan ng isang 13 yr old na agawan at itago ang mga laruan ng 2 yr old? Pag may bagong toy kasi ung kapatid nya, sinisira, tinatago o naagaw nung kapatid nyang 13 yr old.
Ah, oh. You need to give the talk. If you can talk to your thirteen year old in a way na hinde accusatory or pagalit.
Is is possible that she/he/they need attention, and maybe talk it out?
Crossposted from the orangered place:
It seems many of my workmates have resigned for greener pastures. Parang gusto ko nang mag-resign sa current ko dahil mababa yung binigay na salary increase recently. I’ve been looking for other jobs sa ibang companies, pero not sure kung saan ang better. Baka i-lowball nila ako sa offer hehehe
No amount of #copaganda can change my #mind.
Ano ba magandang pangalan ng boyfriend??? Charrr 🫢 Good morning, Lemmy peepz 🌞

I am not sure if I should be doing this, but hell…
For the handful of us who’ve moved (temporarily or otherwise) to lemm.ee, there’s currently a consultation going on about defederation from Meta’s Threads. Upvoting the post means you’re in favor of defederation.
EDIT:
I was wrong in calling that thread a vote. Changed “there’s currently a vote going on about defederation…” to “there’s currently about a consultation going on about defederation”. At any rate, it’s not a vote.
Lemmy ML just put the hammer down and said kthxbye to threads link
Supporting lemm.ee’s decision. Big companies rarely do good when invited into independent spaces.
I missed this part, and I was wrong in calling it a “vote”:
… Facebook has a built-in financial incentive to break our rules. ActivityPub has no protections against advertising, so it’s likely we will end up having to eventually defederate from Threads just for this reason alone.
… While personally I feel that any theoretical pros are by far outweighed by cons, I do want to use this opportunity to see how much of the community disagrees with me. I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy (sorry if anybody is disappointed by that), but I would still like to have a clear picture of user feedback for potentially major decisions such as this one.
But yeah, I support lemm.ee’s decision as well.
I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy.
Points for honesty though. Glad I have a .ee account. .world is sorta “on the way but not quite yet there” fucked.
already upvoted because meta can stay where it is, it doesn’t need to mix with my lemmy instance
I really hope lemmy.world follows suit, but given the statement lemmy.world admins made, it’s still up in the air, if ever.
Question is, what exactly constitutes as “see” in their wait-and-see approach? By the time you realize anything nefarious, it’s already too late.
I still stand by what I said yesterday about how Lemmy.world’s stance is a lot better than Mastodon.social’s stance. However, it’s kind of a “at least they’re not blatantly singing the praises of Meta joining the Fediverse,” which is not a terribly high bar to clear. Also, that at the very least they paid a lip service to “defederation when needed.”
But when it really counts? I am not terribly sure Lemmy.world will actually do anything (hence, me tacking that 'if ever" part in the end). And as you’ve rightfully pointed out–even if they do something, it might already be too late.
Why do websites insist on using this font (Roboto, I think)? It’s very hard to read.
It’s also the font on our ModMail, which explains why I often do not check our inbox.
Personally I prefer Archivo Regular 400 and upwards and depending on use case, point size of the type can vary. The light versions are too thin imho. Futura and I do have some saved font collections but i forget the names. As long as the spacing between letters is good (aimed for readability, not for Taylor Swift quotes, with no attack on Taylor herself), shapes easily contrast from the background, provided that proper color is used too. Eh, but I’m just mindlessly rambling at this point lmao.
Also, the all white and thin font is painful to look at (sorry). No option to customize to a high-contrast layout option? Me thinks Roboto would do well say in a dark background and neon colored font (thank you Microsoft VSC)
Capriola and Montserrat used to be my go-to body fonts when I was still blogging. Granted, the audience was just me, but I thought it was very legible and looks good on a wall of text.
Not something I would use on a formal document, however.
I’ve seen design guides recommending Roboto as a body text font for whatever reason. I’d admit it looks “good”, but at the cost of legibility (same as Calibri). But if I want it to be “clean-looking” as well as legible? Good old trusty Arial is there. Though I would just usually stop thinking and just use Noto Sans, lol!
I prefer using Inter for my projects since Roboto is getting dated in my opinion.
+1 for inter. Shet sorry I have had a weird fascination with fonts, and Gawt Damn you earn big bucks if you have good fonts in a font foundry.
Because Google, a tech partially owns the web. lol
