A whole different level of "blood money". 👀

also inb4 "playing chicken" 👀

Oooh snap!

I linked the "tankie baggage" phrase to a post about it now. Check it out.

Great link, updated the post to link to it. Thank you!

Yup. But I do see it as potentially enabling people to migrate towards fedi, off of Meta instances, more smoothly than now. Some fedi instances will probably federate with Meta's instances, so one could have an account on a non-Meta instance (thus having access also to fedi instances that block Meta), but stay in touch with contacts on Meta instances.

That just might be enough to pull people towards greener pastures over here. 🙂
I am pretty sure that people who already migrated to fedi will mostly not want to migrate back to Meta-owned instances. So it seems to me like it might be a one-way street. Which would be good!

What I really worry about is two things:

• Meta slurping data from fedi — but they can do that already even without running any instances, as far as public content is concerned;
• additional, potentially insanely huge, load on the moderators of fedi instances that choose to federate with Meta instances.

kbin.social is kinda sorta not dealing well with the sudden traffic.

Try: https://fedia.io/

These are just two different software projects that a Threadiverse instance can use. They federate with one another, so it doesn't matter all that much if you have an account on a Kbin instance, or a Lemmy instance. The differences are in the interface, some functionality, and the tech stack used (Lemmy is written in Rust; Kbin in PHP).

There are 100+ instances of Lemmy, and ~10 instances of Kbin. Kbin is a much younger project (hence it might get missed), and it's main instance, kbin.social seems to be experiencing more issues with the wave of new registrations. If you want to try Kbin, https://fedia.io/ might be a good instance to check out.

We can only hope we learn from Digg and Reddit ourselves. As in: us, the people using social media platforms. And if we do learn, we hopefully will not repeat the error of putting all our eggs in a bunch of walled-off, centralized baskets.

It is, in fact, up to us.

That's a fake:
