I bought my son a computer for Christmas and put an i9 in it. Not a great graphics card, but it gets the job done. Bought him some games on steam that play great. He was playing a first person shooter on chrome today.

Swapping Twitter for New Twitter.

Right. Just make great lemmy content and screenshot it. Then when people ask for the source you provide the lemmy link

Yeah, true. I still jump to Reddit to view tv show discussions, just won’t log in or comment anymore.

The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying that so long as you’re putting content on this platform, you are powerless to stop any service from using the features of the platform in whatever way they want.

It was built for easy and open consumption of user content by other services.

Correction: it is built to make consuming users’s data not easy, but more human.

What does that even mean?

WHat you are thinking of is AP, not “Fediverse”, and even then that’s a stretch.

Honestly, I think Fediverse is inseparable from AP (or some similar protocol). You can split hairs if you want, but the thing that makes it different from all other social media services is that it allows the content created by users on one service to be imported into a different service.

You can hope and dream that it is only services like Lemmy consuming user content from services like Mastadon, but this same protocol makes it easy for services like ChatGPT to consume the same data.

I would rather my content be open to the world for however it wants to use it than owned by a single company that gets to profit off aggregating and selling it.

People can complain, but the Fediverse is built to make consuming user’s data easy. If you don’t want AI using your data, don’t put it on such an easily “scrapable” network.

What dat?

I just don’t think it’s possible for something to kill the fediverse. And if it is possible, then it is a flaw in the design of the fediverse and needs to be fixed.

I think you’re right. It looks like Instagram too. I feel like it’s Instagram with a focus on words.

Does the instance owners read your DMs? Does Reddit read your DMs? You never really know.

I would imagine being open to federation is all that’s required for the EU.

Also, defederation doesn’t mean they can’t access federated data. They can even interact with it. It just doesn’t get synced back to the original instances.

How is Zuck being fucked over?
