It's all fun and games until the EU decides to start trying to regulate lemmy and we opened the door to it because we wanted to dunk on our political opponents. Let websites make their own content (speech) choices, let users make their choices on speech and platform as well.

the advantage of the fediverse is that individual instances should fall below the sizes the DSA identifies as constituting a "platform". and any that don't arguably break with the spirit of federation anyway...

now obviously they can change those rules but it's a little too late for that, now that it has been passed.

Nah. Twitter is a nazi shithole, Facebook has been enabling genocides.

Regulate their asses off.

Protocols, not platforms.

With Reddit and Xitter now imploded into irrelevance, what’s left? Just FB and its subsidiaries?

My impression is that FB is only used by scammers and bots.

CaptObvious , vor 2 Tagen

I haven't been on FB itself in close to a decade. I understand that it's still somewhat usable for neighborhoods and for keeping up with family, but I don't have firsthand knowledge. Even before I left, getting through the algorithm to see a feed of real people was almost impossible. That's certainly the case on Instagram, which I do still visit a few times a year.

are they irrelevant though? i totally agree with you as far as my spheres of interest go, but outside of that "normies" still use both heavily.

just try to find travel or anything but the one big anime community on lemmy.

and many companies, politicians and journalists still only use twitter

CaptObvious , vor 2 Tagen

I've never been especially interested in normies, but you may be right. All the communities that I care about are in the fediverse. Any entity that still relies solely on Xitter is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned.

Well this is what happens when the blue check goes from verifying identity to verifying you have paid money to feed a grown child's ego.

Who gives a fuck about Twitter

Atelopus-zeteki , vor 3 Tagen

Pretty sure Twitter is and will continue to be "bad". Let them wither and die.

A lot of people it seems, unfortunately.

Man könnte wirklich denken, reddit wäre ein soziales Experiment, in welcher Zeit sich ein stabiles Unternehmen komplett an die Wand fahren lässt.
