A guy on twitter who's kinda funny.

My main problem is that there just isn't anything I actually want to engage with on Mastodon. Most of the communities I would engage with simply don't exist there, or only exist there in minute quantities.
Absolutely wild that this works lmao, ActivityPub is crazy
To be fair, Reddit is a lot bigger than any Lemmy instance, and Lemmy instances have the benefit of being decentralised, so the load is on many different servers owned by different people as opposed to one group of servers owned by one company.
Somehow I doubt it's even that. The guy's just a braindead, incompetent moron. I don't think the fucker's even smart enough to realize this is literally the worst possible decision he could've made.
It actually already exists. The ReVanced project, which has continued to update YouTube Vanced after it shut down, has also expanded to other apps. I've only used their YouTube and YouTube Music apps, but I can't imagine the experience on their apps would be any worse than reddit's current app, given that it's essentially the same plus their patches to it.
Maybe, but I think that the branding of the "fediverse" + difficulty of use will make it unlikely to surpass reddit or any other alternatives. It will almost certainly still be around for years to come, but I doubt it'll be much more than niche, despite me hoping for the contrary.
Tankies suck, but they're so far from nazis morally it's not even really fair to tankies to compare them.
At least tankies generally speaking aren't okay with genocide of innocents.
At least then we can just defederate with their instance, yeah?
Please read what I said again. I don't have an issue with the ecosystem, and I said as much in the original post. I have an issue with the branding of the ecosystem and am concerned that it's hampering growth because of its associations with venture capitalists/crypto scams/metaverse scams, etc.
That's fair. Maybe I'm just chronically online, but it really skeeves me out how eerily similar some of the terms here are to crypto scams. Not saying this is one, obviously- as far as I can tell, there really isn't any monetary incentive to run an instance-, but the language used at the moment can get uncomfortably close, which definitely might push people away.

You're a moron. Piracy is not stealing because nothing is ever taken from the copyright holder, unless you're going to argue that a theoretical purchase is being stolen. By which logic, deciding not to buy something is stealing.
