Thirty-nine years ago I worked night shift during college. I’m still trying to straighten out my circadian rhythms.

There’s just no good reason to have a profit motive in social media when it simply doesn’t need to be there.
Exactly! In that regard, it’s like health care. The profit motive can only harm the public.
ActivityPub integration is another feature they can use to get attention.
See, that’s what I don’t understand. ActivityPub means nothing to the vast majority of potential Threads users. There’s no way that Meta is going to use ActivityPub to gain users; all they have to do is what they HAVE done, leverage Instagram. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they may be hoping that federation will allow them to get around the EU’s limitations.
But even that doesn’t really make sense. Zuck doesn’t really care that much about regulations. He breaks them all the time. Which leaves me with the question, why ActivityPub? What aren’t we seeing?
That’s an interesting point. Can anyone take your original content and repost it to make money? As I understand it, anything you create is theoretically copyrighted at the moment you created. You’re not required to file a copyright, at least not in the United States.
That’s a pretty poor summary. It’s not all that much shorter than the blog post itself. Could you tell the AI to be much more concise?
Aaaannnddd…autodeleted by bot. Links to other sites are forbidden.
Good idea! I just posted a link to r/politicalhumor.
There is a mobile app for kbin, though. It’s not great, but it exists. I’m using it right now!
Inertia is the most powerful force in the universe…of human psychology.
…so it’s nothing to do with Lemmiwinks, then?
I am disappointed.
God, I hope so. I don’t see any way to stop the billionaires from killing off our species, at this point. But I want to at least see those psychotic monsters suffer before we all go!
Same here. I’m kind of suspecting that Reddit isn’t going to be giving me my data anytime soon, if ever!
Yeah, I’m another old school early adopter who was on the internet since the '80s. No way the enshittification and souring of Reddit was caused by boomers and Gen xers. Most of them wouldn’t know how to get on, and those who would… Honestly, I’m the only boomer I know who is on there. Well, unless you go to some of the subreddits that are specifically for people over 50. And those people are incredibly nice! One of the few things I will really miss about Reddit.
BookWyrm. I’d searched intensively for a replacement for GoodReads, and been stuck with LibraryThing despite it’s extreme user-hostility (by which I mean the opposite of user-friendliness, not that the people there were hostile). BookWyrm was what I was looking for all along!
I’m a supertaster and hypervigilant, so all my senses are dialed up to 11. My memory is also unusually good. Also my son claims I have “Poon vision”, but I’m not crazy about that idea.
