Ugh, communities? Who needs that junk, just give me a straight feed algorithmically tailored specifically to extract maximum profit out of my eyeballs!

an outrage!
blacklisting is better though if you like to see things outside of your bubble
Hopefully we’ve not just crossed the activity threshold for people to stick around and shitpost but also for people to figure it’s worth posting some quality stuff here
it will matter though if a significant amount of users / communities is on their instances, if that happens and people then decide to defederate, that means the resulting community will be much smaller. Perhaps even so much smaller that it will eventually become a ghost town. It wouldn’t be the first time something like that happens!
given that we know Meta is not to be trusted at all, it stands to reason to never allow them to grow big enough inside the fediverse that the aforementioned scenario could happen
If Meta creates its own proprietary version of the fediverse, it doesn’t really change a thing
anytime Meta touches anything, they turn it into shit, haven’t you learned that by now?
But if someone else would like to see this content, why not give them such option?
because given half a chance, Meta will crush anything not-Meta
I know people are afraid that doing so will ruin the “secret club” vibe going on here
no that’s trivializing the risk that Meta poses to the fediverse. They won’t just ruin the “secret club” vibe, they’ll destroy the fediverse entirely. They are the existential threat that the fediverse faces right now, if we fail to defend ourselves against it then that’s it, it’s gone, we’ll have to start over again
Using the website as PWA right now, the layout works well for me and there’s no bugs to speak of
be the change you want to see, subscribe to those communities and be active in them
people need to be on top of this shit to ban it with extreme prejudice
