The ZX Spectrum's color limitations are so cute, lol.

I run everything on a Retroid Pocket 2+, so...uh, the Retroid Pocket 2+, lol. A handheld system just suits me better.

Ah, hm. Well, I don't have a Pixel, soooo...shit, lmao.

Yeah! Give that corporation a large portion of your income in exchange for goods, and then destroy those goods! That'll show that completely separate person with zero ties to the corporation!

Sounds great, especially since it's Android-compatible. I'd have to jailbreak my phone, though, right? Always been worried to do that, myself, because I don't want to break my phone or get cut off by my service provider.

I might look into it on my Retroid Pocket 2+, though!

Ahhh, now it makes sense, thank you! So...do we panic because Zillaberg is making a federated Twitter sequel, or...?

Ahh, so if I'm on Site A, I can view and comment on things from Site B, so long as A and B are federated with one another. The worry then is basically seeing and dealing with Meta's bullshit here, and them more or less taking over through EEE tactics. That makes sense now.

Lemmy communities aren't federated with Meta threads by default, right? It's opt in. So just...don't federate with .meta or whatever they'll use? Apart from "don't affiliate with The Zuckerbot", I'm still not sure what the worry is all about.

Alright, that kind of answers the "how do I block Meta bullshit?" question, but what does that mean for Lemmy? Lemmy is an entirely different site from Facebook or Threads or whatever. Or is Lemmy more like a browser to view anyone's federated community? Then I'd get the EEE thing everyone's talking about. You usually see your communities on Site A, but Site B offers what Site A has, but also free beer! People migrate to Site B, Site B slowly introduces ads, poisons the beer, kills your cat, and steals your wife, but Site A is a shell of it's former self and dies out, so...you can't unfuck what's been fucked.

I'm brand new to Lemmy (guess why, lol) and federated systems in general. How do I block all things Meta? And what does that even mean for Lemmy, where it's an entirely different site from Facebook?

To me, GameCube and PS2 are retro. Wii is getting there, and god, I feel old. Had to convince myself to put down "GameCube" instead of "N64".
