FuckOff

The “guy standing in the driveway” just outed a woman to authorities for trying to get an abortion.

We already know he is a bad actor.

“Wait and see” is bullshit.

Facebook/Meta is THE largest social network and one of the oldest active ones.

We’ve seen it all.

There’s no reason to wait.

Defederate.

I’m deleting my .world accounts now and moving to .ml.

I think I’m just going to wipe my account and ditch altogether.

There is absolutely no valid reason Lemmy should have any association with Meta, no matter how vague or distant.

I’m out.

@lwadmin@lemmy.world

If Lemmy.world federates with Meta/Threads, I will delete my accounts and ditch Lemmy altogether.

It’s shameful that this is even up for discussion.

What an embarrassment.

How do I switch any existing username? Is that possible?

No, sorry.

We know exactly what Zuckerbag is all about.

Not a chance.

I’ll hop right the fuck off Lemmy in a heartbeat.

Impeccable username.

I’m not sure how you can see it any other way.

They had a successful platform (Instagram) and piggybacked a new platform on top and are counting the users toward their numbers.

If Zuckerbag released Threads without being tied to Instagram, it’d be a queef in the wind of a userbase.

It’s a clever strategy. For sure. I won’t pretend it’s not.

But seeing how “Notes” went - I don’t think it’s gonna go very far.

It’s like if McDonald’s started selling hotdogs from their stores under a separate store within their restaurants.

“McDog’s has over 1 billion served!”

No, McDonald’s does - you just put another product under the same roof by a different name.

Why?

Because Instagram did the same BS with their “Notes” feature recently and now nobody uses it.

You were automatically enrolled and it showed up on your feed and three months later, it’s crickets.

As much as I hate Twitter, I don’t think Threads is going to make a dent in the long run.

I fucking KNEW it.

35 million users my asshole - they’re just counting existing Instagram accounts.

3 more months of rioting.

Zines are making a comeback!

I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.

It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.

I am floored.
