It’s invite only now?

But you can follow Lemmy accounts from Mastodon

🤷

Speaking of dark patterns, anyone use TurboTax lately?

Those that are on Threads are likely not even aware of the rest of the fediverse. I think that when they interact with us they will be. And when Meta decides it’s time to start ads some people will think it’s better over here. Also, some people won’t like Threads using an algorithm on their feed.

I agree with you on this much of the time. Especially on sites today that have ads. The fediverse doesn’t have that problem.

But the mobile web interface isn’t that great yet for Lemmy. Pixelfed’s web interface is so good I debate whether or not to use an app but Lemmy isn’t there yet.

Too bad people on mastodon don’t have the ability to block an instance they find objectionable for themselves-- oh wait.

Not sure about Lemmy, but we can do this on mastodon. I don’t need someone else deciding for me.

Tldr? Couldn’t disagree more

what is this private vs public profile? I don’t know the difference.

I gave up on Element. It was using more battery than any other app and I didn’t know anyone else using it. Now I’m just using Session or Telegram for anonymous messaging. Yeah, I know Telegram is not ideal.

The SMS message will go to the current default SMS app. The Signal messages will go to Signal. Easy peasy.

Contains ads? Data shared with third parties? Not feeling it.
