I think it’s the least worrying of possible stances protecting possession of CP

If you have to make it a specific domain, reddthat.com seems appropriate

Regarding voting, of course, it should be done after familiarizing oneself with the post to some degree greater than the title.

I meant changing people’s minds. While just the title won’t convince people to think a certain way, it will remain in their minds as one of many opinions on the topic they encountered. And it’s a shame if that opinion is the opposite of what the author has in mind.

A small reminder that clickbaity titles like this work against the author’s view for all the people who read just the title and scroll further. (And they’re not to blame. You can’t read everything)

TL;DR of the article:

Fall of Twitter and Reddit helped the Fediverse grow. Most users don’t know or care how Federation works and don’t realise the necessity of donations. Fediverse either remains niche or becomes mainstream, the future is not set in stone.

This is excessive. I know they’re angry. I know they have a reason to be. I know they don’t mean this literally. But this is not okay. Maybe it’s less not-okay than what u/spez did, but it doesn’t justify doing this.

Please, let us not follow the same path this far.

Edge is Chromium based, so I discourage using it as your main browser, but honestly, it’s not that bad. Works fine and has some nice built-in features, so there are perfectly good use cases for it

Everything which is not forbidden is allowed

This is actually used as a verb, as ending something slowly and gradually, so as not to cause sudden and disrupting changes.

Sunsetting Python 2 for example lasted 12 years (extended from original plan of 7 years).

“Find the difference between the pictures”

As part of this, we made a decision to sunset coins (…) and awards (…)

(…) all awards and existing coins will continue to be available until September 12, 2023.

“sunset”.

two months time.

So, basically, payment information and analytics, the latter of which you can disable. Everything else is the data that Discord is meant to store (as in messages, settings, all the other stuff I expect it to display back to me in the app). I mean, it could store less, but overall it doesn’t seem that bad?

Huh, I haven’t heard about Discord harvesting data yet. Got something specific to read about that?

After reading this, play this for the feel.

The planetary average temperature hit 17.23 degrees Celsius on Thursday, surpassing the 17.18C record set on Tuesday (…) A previous record of 17.01C was set on Monday.

Referring to dates by just weekdays sounds like there’s not going to be any more Mondays…

Honestly, not having ads and being very usable for free, Discord is still pretty good IMO

This is actually an interesting argument I haven’t heard before. I guess it’s being downvoted because it’s used as the ultimate argument, which it’s not. I still believe EEE is more than likely.

I don’t agree with you entirely, but you’ve added to the discussion. Upvote from me

Defederating “from this and that” is actually sometimes problematic here. It’s about instance admins finding balance between freedom and usability (limiting spam and hate). Beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world defederated from exploding-heads.com etc. These decisions were controversial, but they weren’t bold. On the contrary, much thought and care went into these and that can be seen in communities’ support for them (in case of Beehaw, along with hopeful awaiting of refederation by users and admins alike).

But that seems not to be the main issue you’re presenting. Defederating from Threads specifically is an entirely different matter. And people who advocate for it, including myself, have more arguments for it than just privacy.

From the article:

Meta launched Threads, a text-based conversation app intended to rival Twitter, on Wednesday to a largely positive reception.

This “largely positive reception” links to their own article about their own reporter checking it out, which doesn’t mention any opinions from the public or other individuals.

Bing AI once refused to give me a historical example of a waiter taking revenge on a customer who hadn’t tipped, because “it’s not a representative case”. Argued with it for a while, achieved nothing
