No no no there’s a large difference, it’s “round up all the bad people who cause lasting harm, let them die, and then everything will be better!”. Like it or not, you can not measure good with the same stick as you can measure evil. Not when the systems we’ve built in do favour "evil as default (and worse, up to some point, so do the rules of physics).

Are they stupid or evil? Hard to tell these days.

At scale, or in capitalism, there is no difference.

betcha you didn’t see that coming, bitch.

Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It’s pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.

Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.

1. No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
2. But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant “each software”, that’s more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
3. No but yes.
4. I’m not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
5. Mostly absolutely yes. I think I’ve seen it discussed a few times under “fediverse identity” or something like that.

As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it’s time to spread out.

db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country’s lemmy.

AI is much like smoking (hey, it is killing the atmosphere! ). Even if a good writer uses it, the usage itseld can still cause harm for others.

Oh it’s for the correct sound distinction. Compare naïve vs naive (eg.: glaive).

I’d take it part of the problem is that publisher is quite a “unglorious” job to say somehow. Like, it’s difficult to make it look fancy or interesting enough that you’d take effort, time and resources from other things you could be doing - such as, ya know, writing the story you want to write - to have to do that.

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

My sources indicate that, as a natural intelligence, I can recommend feeling awesome.

I’m only three (3) active (and hopefully semi/official) communities away from ditching r/ and moving completely to c/; for most of everything else I’ve found quite sufficient activity on Lemmy + Mastodon. Alas, since “representatives moving their community to lemmy” is not the kind of stuff you can enhance yourself unless you are an admin of those, I’m stuck on waiting.

Well, it will be entertaining, there’s no doubt of that.

Don’t want to sink with it? Leave the fucking sinking ship. The writing was on the wall for a full decade already.
