that’s not the point; the point is to not have a single group dominate the site and to make it easier to avoid bad actors (bigots + fascists, because there’s a lot of that online) by just blocking the instance they live on

the “one single account” thing is a bonus, but definitely not the main reason for federation

tbf, that’s just microblogging in a nutshell

fr fr

but like, why did it take him tanking Twitter for many to realize that he’s just a manbaby with a diamond-encrusted platinum pacifier

like it’s really weird that it wasn’t clear when he called that one guy who saved those kids in that cave a pedophile because the guy told Musk that his invention wouldn’t be useful for the rescue effort; like people didn’t see how shitty he was after he said that

tbf, grimes is not better

would expect both of them to be less like this if that were the case

why is this man like this

I did not know minecoins were a thing

but in any case, I’m not saying that they’re making a good decision, just that I don’t see the point of reddit gold

yeah, like OP isn’t realizing that they’re going to just make another Twitter

if you have it that there are no rules against shittiness and bigotry, then the worst kinds of people will decide to hang around and will drive off everyone else; you’ll have a nazi bar

on one hand, reddit gold is useless and a waste of money imo

other hand, they just keep going for making the most controversial decisions with zero thought lmao

then the question is why the hell did you make an account on an instance that doesn’t want to interact with NSFW content (presumably it’s in their rules) when you want to interact with NSFW content; like I don’t see why you’d do that if you knew the rules beforehand

this is not going to work like you want it; check out the “nazi bar” example

lmao

has it already been 12 years?!

nah, you’re right

the term always gives me images of channer culture; like it reminds me when the internet as a whole thought that 4chan and its ilk were cool and elite for being shitty for “lulz”

it needs to be retired

but that’s not immediate and requires some work and effort (to figure out how federation works, to figure out how Lemmy works, to learn how to create an instance and to make one, to start over with an entirely new community); many on Reddit want the easiest path to get their content

which again, understandable, but still annoying to see

a lot of people back on Reddit could not give less of a shit about the issues and just want their content; they even see this as just mods powertripping again

it’s kind of annoying to see that, tbh, even if I sort of get it

Corporations would literally chop their limbs off if it’d make them a dollar more of profit; they’re like the paperclip maximizer

Oh, cool; more reason to use Piped and Invidious lmao

Though, take care to factcheck what you get from it; all it really is is just a word predictor, and it can be pretty good at confidently telling you absolute nonsense that sounds right

by who, though? Itself?
