Into the Fediverse!
The exposure is still greater than the zero that currently exists. If only 1% see the stuff from the smaller instances and figure out what’s up, they’ll jump. That’s better than the current near 0. There’s not really a scenario where it reduces the activity here any further, only improves it.
EXACTLY! It only benefits us because it hugely increases the exposure of the fediverse to the outside world so people who ARE interested can merely jump over. It makes the fediverse more interesting for people like me who can “live” here and access the content I want.
Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don’t personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That’s not their decision to make.
Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason
Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

It’s real hard to break a habit that’s been ongoing for almost 12 years for me. I’m trying to do my part by contributing, upvoting, etc
Sounds crazy but I absolutely love it. There’s a market for this somewhere!
Chiming in to swap for 5600, drop the 2 case fans, and switch 3060 to 6700 XT or 6650 XT. There’s games right now that REQUIRE 6 cores
They simply should not be allowed to advertise with the fake frames IMO.
It will still sell by the millions :(
Another similar question: why has executive pay skyrocketed when it’s exactly opposing to (most) companies best interests? Also, you could merely hire a qualified candidate from within the company who is already familiar with how things work and pay them still six figures, but not millions or billions. It seems kind of insane that one person is “worth” that much to a board.
Brilliant insight. They probably are tracking metrics on what will encourage people to buy stuff the most too
I came to the same conclusion as you: why would people buy their stuff if they could just run an unlocker script or edit a config file to give that stuff to them? It’s basically malicious DRM
Stream confirmed it’s dropping within half an hour (10 AM central)
What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn’t it like this stock?
One of my friends is in the red teaming world and this is, in his opinion, the top threat to the fediverse. Not everyone knows how to host properly so may expose themselves somehow and will not have proper DDOS mitigation in place. Unless you have a very robust and difficult sign up process it’s going to be easy to overrun places with bots too. On the other hand, you CANNOT add friction to signing up or it’ll cause people to turn away. Ten additional seconds can turn away half of attempted sign ins.
This is what I did with Hades and MCC
I’m actually in awe of how well they handled this choice because each one of them has fantastic ironclad reasons why. I chose Lotus because I viewed her as wanting to “reclaim” that role for herself. She isn’t Margulis, she isn’t Natah anymore, she is the Lotus who protects and stabilizes the Origin system.
Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn’t have thought of it straight away at all.
