IP address? Oh, you mean the thing that rotates every 24 hours?

Oh no, now they know the one-off email address I used for my Epic account!

Feel free to boycott it. Just don't go around telling others which store they should be buying from like you did at r/pcgaming.

It's just terminally online redditors bringing their anti-Epic circlejerk here. There's nothing wrong with collecting free games from the EGS.

The ideas aren't bad, but they need to be broken down into atoms to build a solid foundation for such a rule base.

• What is the motivation behind limiting member counts? Right now this would indiscriminately punish anyone with an existing userbase looking to open up to ActivityPub. Are there alternative rules that would tackle your motivation better?
• What constitutes an ad? Community is horribly split on this. There's the obvious banner ad, but there's also instance sponsors or users simply proclaiming how overly happy they've been with a certain product. People are calling each other sheeps and bought shills left and right. Go to a tech community, advocate for a browser that isn't a derivative of Firefox and you'll see what I mean.
• As for altering the protocol, again: What are your motivations for this, and could another rule tackle them better?

Before we establish any rules, it might be best to establish a communally agreed set of motivations and goals for the fediverse first.

Ah, must have gotten those mixed up then, my bad

How would these rules be enforced in the first place?

I don't know if you know this, but Lemmy is also using an altered version of ActivityPub to federate things like downvotes.

Your rules are flawed.

I stopped reading when I saw a copy-pasted definition of the word "exploit".

This article thinks we're dumb as shit.

And how often has that been the case so far?

As opposed to everything being exclusive to one platform, like you seem to prefer???

People like you are the reason they don't use Linux.

Keep going like that and you'll see what the real reason is.

It's simple. The people using Evernote didn't care about being locked in.

Twitter users when a wholesome content creator exists:

Will the Mastodon and Lemmy instances we have today cease to exist because of Threads federating?

I'm just genuinely curious how we could be worse off than before.

XMPP is still alive and well, is it not?

Go tell any ad company that you have a website with X million weekly users, and they will suck your dick to place their ads there.

20 years from now we'll have ditched smartphones for brain implants, and y'all will still ask for a headphone jack

But you didn't replace the proprietary bootloader, did you?
