I see a lot of people saying they'd love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.

I truly don't get this.

I'm not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I'd be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It's just a community of real people having conversations.

If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.

PD: I hope this doesn't come across as wall-keeping (or however it's said lol), It's my honest opinion.

@alertsleeper I use Friendica, but I don't hate Mastodon, Calckey or Lemmy users.

For that same reason I don't hate Threads users.
It's up to each individual user which platform they want to use.

Just my opinion.

Sounds like something that will cause a split later down the line.

What will stop the bots? Were literally on a platform because the other one cut off moderation bots…

[–] alertsleeper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Bots are necessary. But having moderation bots and other useful ones like the one for reminders is one thing, and another one is bots posting spam 100 times a day.

How to stop it? No idea

Edit: typo

It’s for karma. Nothing more.

I think they are mad at Reddit mostly.

Somebody help me, where is Meta expecting to populate it's communities in Threads from? From it's existing millions of sheep on FB and IG, then hope to get people from Elon's sinking ship? I personally don't see the advantage for us associating with that pool of people. They got 30 million sign ups already i just heard lol. I guess their sheep responded to the call immediately

I do enjoy some random / silly content though, looking at sites like squabbles.io you can see how popular that can be. I'm pretty happy with the content coming through here, but some of the more light stuff is also very appealing

I don't get why that is hard to grasp.

Why are there so many posts on this same issue? Can't people just comment on one of the multitude of other posts rather than creating new ones?

I see Zuckerberg trying to capture the Fediverse as a good thing, but only because it will test how resilient it is, and expose any weak spots the community can fix.

Bad actors are inevitable in a federated network, and they're supposed to become increasingly ostracized if they keep at it. Let's see how resilient the Fediverse is against a thirsty bad actor with a deep wallet.

Because the actual good content is on those networks

If Meta federates, people on the fediverde will.be able to follow content on Meta. This makes it easier for people to switch to the fediverse.

@ghariksforge @alertsleeper

Who knows how it'll work out at this point. I imagine there will be plenty bad with the good, but it's going to happen in some fashion so might as well try to hope for the best!
