It is impressive the lengths that Reddit will reach to ignore their protesting users. They make one tone-deaf decision after another. r/Place should be quite entertaining.
Same name, thank you!
I would appreciate an invite if you are still offering.
I disagree. I fully understand the harsh feelings towards Meta/Facebook. They have brought it upon themselves. I am not making excuses for them at all. However, this is likely the only real shot that the fediverse has for widespread growth and adoption.
I am so looking forward to following Threads users on Mastodon. I’ll have the ad-free chronological timeline on Mastodon, and I’ll still be able to keep up with sports writers, teams, and other users that would likely never even try Mastodon.
Currently, not enough people understand federated social media. We will eventually sway some of those Threads users over to Mastodon, Lemmy, etc. once they realize the advantages these platforms have to offer.
I can see the disadvantages, but I do think the pros outweigh the cons. You are not hurting Meta by defederating from Threads. They will succeed regardless of the choices of a few instances.
This is an incredible opportunity to inform more people about the fediverse. The beauty of an open, decentralized platform is that if you want nothing to do with Meta/Threads, you are free to move to a server that chooses to defederate.
Moved from ProtonMail to iCloud+ last year since I was already paying for iCloud+. Proton’s lack of IMAP support on mobile devices is another reason I left. Their reason for that is privacy, which I understand. Privacy is important to me, but this is email we’re talking about. It will never be private considering the majority of people we email use Gmail, Outlook, etc.
All that being said, iCloud+ has been solid for email. No major issues at all on my end. The spam filter is quite strict for me, but I would consider that a good thing.
