Well of course they do. They want to turn an every-few-years OS purchase into a monthly subscription fee, like they did with O365. And eventually they’ll drop the ability to install apps except through their store (under the guise of providing “safety” from malicious apps), so that they can collect a commission on the third party software sales market as well.

“As young as 5”? I’d like to see the evidence for that.

This is the first time I’ve read “The Threadiverse” used to describe Lemmy and Kbin. I think that’s an excellent way to differentiate them from the rest of the Fediverse apps, while recognizing that they’re largely the same in purpose.

You know what they say about IOT: The S stands for Security.

He’s moving to Belarus, which may as well be the same thing.

I am hopeful that the lack of “karma” feedback to posters in Lemmy/Kbin will dampen the farming that goes on over at Reddit, and that posts are about contributing ideas or whatever content is expected in order to be a part of the community, rather than trying to get “upvotes.” Granted, that’s a huge driver of activity on Reddit and helped them grow to the size it is, but it’s also why there’s so much low-effort content there these days.
