Facebook is not federating.

I still can't make sense of Mastodon threads.

The problem I see with almost every Fedi product is that they just try to clone whatever is popular instead of considering what makes sense.

Character limits make absolutely no sense.

Tagging 12 different fuckin people automatically 34 replies down the thread makes no sense.

The layout and the way it's displayed makes no sense.

It makes no sense for PixelFed to federate with other micro-blogging services or to include the teeny tiny fucking buttons.

Lemmy has very easy to follow and legible threads but Twitter/Mastodon ones just confuse the absolute fuck out of me.

didn't we create and use fediverse software like Mastodon, Lemmy, PixelFed etc in large part to escape the constant hate-baiting and algorithmic manipulation of companies like Meta?

"We" created the Fedi to have interoperable systems and to give users autonomy over their accounts and their feeds. That's why there's an option for users to block other users and even entire servers.

Why are so many in the fediverse prepared to throw their fellow fediverse users under the bus

No one is doing that.

If Threads was a fediverse instance, it would've been defederated from by just about everyone by now.

True.

Why are some people bending over backwards to give Meta a free pass?

No one wants to give Meta a "free pass". We want a way for Meta users to see that they can leave the platform, escape the ads and data-mining without losing access to their friends, family, news, etc. It's specifically because Meta is so terrible that we want to federate.

You see it as the Fediverse promoting Meta but we see the opposite.

'Wait and see' I hear people say

I've literally never seen anyone say this except FediPacters as a strawman. No one needs to "wait and see". We know exactly what we're getting.

Wow Steam actually got almost all of these 🤣

Not true. Many of the smaller phones on the market have additional features that the bigger ones don't. Or at least they used to when they existed.

This. If I'm required to give up all my personal info I might as well get some cash back and all the other CC benefits.

in my opinion the less people have your information the better.

Yeah that's kinda the point...

Been running it at 1080p no problem for several days.

Technically open source in what definition?

By the literal definition of source code that is open.

almost as if there IS demand for small phones...

There is but the demand is small. The smaller the demand gets, the more they flock to whatever options are available.

I don't believe the small phone gang is small, we just have one option: a pretty expensive iPhone mini.

You have it backwards. You have no options because your gang is too small. You used to have options but the market has moved far far away from that.

They won't. It'll break and you won't be able to repair it before then.

Shows like this should have zero input from executives. If you are not willing to let the show have free rein, you don’t deserve to host the show.

What if the talent wants to glorify pedophiles?

This post is about a single vehicle that was most likely driven in deep water, but even if it wasn't, is not indicative of an "issue Teslas have".

Why not what?

Quality control is a problem with every product. Once you reach a certain point it just makes more financial sense to fix any issues when they're discovered and reported by the consumer rather than going over it with a microscope. Most consumers don't care about panel gaps.

Until someone completes and publishes a scientific study on the matter, and compares them to other OEMs, I'll continue to assume that these are just anecdotes from click-hungry publications that know anything to do with Tesla or Elon drives clicks, because everyone I know and every Tesla I've seen (with the exception of S/X) is totally fine.

Just in case anyone thinks this is a problem with Teslas, I have driven mine through several dozen heavy rainstorms and even a hurricane and my Tesla does just fine in that.

And as everyone knows, science is comprised of my personal experience.

an issue Teslas in particular have

I suppose you have evidence of this "issue" with Teslas?

It didn't get fucked up by rain. They drove it on heavily flooded roads, according to Scots from the area.

Myself and about 3 million other Tesla owners can attest that they are not perturbed by rain.

You think we're going to colonize space?! We can't even agree to feed and house the humans here

Well they're going to leave the unfed and unhoused behind, obvi
