I do see it as a potential problem with moderation on Lemmy’s end. You have all of the users from Threads interacting with Lemmy and Kbin users. It’s possible there’s an influx of accounts on here that are trolling, and it becomes unmanageable to moderate everything on Lemmy’s side.

But Threads will have no problems with content moderation.

I love glasses, they add style. Contacts are good but I wouldn’t be a fan of having to do that every morning and night

Yeah, Steve Jobs was definitely an asshole, and he didn’t personally design any of his products, but he did know what direction to move things in and what consumers wanted in a phone. He was the first to put a truly usable portable touchscreen computer into our pockets with a phone in it, and every phone nowadays is basically just a reimagined, upgraded version of the first iPhone. The way we communicate is forever changed because of the iPhone.

But yeah iPhone’s are kind of the pinnacle of “how much can we fuck you over before you notice” now. All because of the little Apple on the back of the phone.

Honestly, I see it as a win.

The people that did this didn’t really act out in a coordinated attack. They were just kind of playing around, redirecting to lemonparty, changing page elements.

It could have been a lot worse. The site could have been redirecting to malicious websites, downloading trojans, doing a lot of bad things. Instead, we got direct attention to the security vulnerabilities in question, and they’re being worked on and patched out relatively quickly. Helps that a lot of those on these communities are focused in programming and cybersecurity.

This digital privacy.

Liftoff for Lemmy

People don’t understand what they’re doing literally signing away their data and accepting these Terms of Service.

I don’t really understand it. People left Facebook because the way they shifted the platform became less relevant to the younger audiences on it. And then it effectively died.

Now Meta (literally Facebook rebranded because of how much they fucked up) is creating threads and people just forgot what Facebook did?

Are people even thinking in the long term what’s going to happen, like what’s happened to reddit, Twitter and Facebook? Does nobody take a step back and take a minute to figure out what’s inevitably going to happen again? It’s bonkers to me.

It starts with the user base complaining about a platform going to shit, doing nothing about it in the meantime, and when a “viable” replacement pops up it’s another privatized company that wholly plans to do the same exact thing that just happened to the one that’s dying.

People’s attention spans are 24 hours long.
