  • To many, federation is a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist for them. In their mind, the early model of federation is like email, a problem that was "solved" years ago by having one corporate product that was much better than others (Gmail).

    To add, on top of that, the fediverse is like if gmail could just randomly decide to stop receiving emails from outlook addresses and there's nothing any user can do about it except make another email for when they want to email outlook users.

    I don't think fediverse proponents know just how catastrophically this terminates their entire pitch in the minds of 99% of internet users

  • Despite having more money than god, he had "lovable dork" energy. I can't imagine squandering that. I would have just kept my mouth shut and only opened it when I wanted to talk about whatever new cool thing I decided to have built.

  • I started on beehaw and moved here because they got too defederation-happy. I don't want to post on an antisocial network, if I want to be alone with my thoughts I won't go online at all. It's a valid choice for them to make but I believe in Lemmy because I want a non-corporate non-evasive Reddit, which kinda needs lots of different communities.

  • Look you can go to the WoW, FFXIV, ESO, and OSRS subreddits or search for them on Twitter and see that the communities are still extremely active for these games. WoW has 75k on Twitch right now and MMOs are awful stream games. If you don't use mainstream platforms you're not getting an accurate read on what the mainstream opinions are.
