Is this a question that really needs to be asked?
There are almost 3 billion active users on Facebook. Every single one of them should know by now that their data is being harvested and that the data they see is being manipulated. They just don't care.
All people care about is the little hit of dopamine when someone hits the like button on their posts. They're just a bunch of junkies.
Uh, we need participation from everyone in order for the fediverse to have legitimacy. We unfortunately need those cringe users if we want large scale adoption. Without it everything stays small scale, developers aren't attracted to the concept and people leave for functioning alternatives.
There's a 90% probability that Threads takes over from the failing Twitter. Nothing will change. No one will learn anything. More of everyone's data will be stollen.
I still have a 8700K and haven't really had the need to upgrade in a while. I'll never buy a processor with something like this in it. If Microsoft forces it in new CPUs, I'm pretty sure I can make it the rest of my life with current hardware.
Someone's made unfounded connections between the two things. Most of that stuff has nothing to do with the rate changes.
Most of what is in this graphic is just speculation. I'm not sure why it's being upvoted so much.
Oh yeah, I forgot, all the reddit users are here now is why.
I think that eventually there will be primary communities that get settled for major topics.
I don't think we're using Lemmy correctly right now, and there's a shift in mindset that needs to happen before Lemmy really becomes great. People need to realize that smaller instances built around specific topics will be better than massive ones trying to span every topic.
The difference between .17 and .18 is pretty substantial. Lemmy.world neglected to update to .18 because captcha support was not working for new account signups, so they waited for v0.18.1

There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.
There are lots of other fixes and things, but that is the most substantial change.
Thanks for blocking that instance.
I tried to explain to their admin why the entire concept was bad for the fediverse but they didn't seem to understand.
People can do whatever they want with their instances, but something like that should defederate themselves and live in a void.
That isn't the way to try and build content or community over here. We have the high ground. We don't need to stoop down to their level.
