I don't remember there being a similar CPU generation cutoff before. Your 7th gen intel laptop cannot install windows 11. So Linux is your only choice.

Yeah but half of that is a few nerds inflating the numbers with 10 thinkpads each running different linux distros

Hey that's my password too

Yeah they want to make it too difficult to bother intentionally unsubscribing.

They'll start setting standards, other instances will comply, and meta will control (or destroy) the fediverse.

You think we can't get people to join lemmy unless our Genius Daddy Savior Zuck brings them in?

[-] pattmayne@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Nobody is suggesting that we destroy Threads. We just don't want to let it control the fediverse.

[-] pattmayne@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

They will start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be mechanisms to control the fediverse and make it a data-gathering ad & sales platform.

This us exactly the threat. They'll start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be ways to control the fediverse and make it a propietary data-gathering and sales/advertising platform just like everything else.

Good news! Fuck Zuck!

"The customer is always right" is a very popular saying, usually uses by managers to tell their front-facing employees that they must prostrate themselves before the customer on behalf of the corporation.

This is to create a false feeling of entitlement and service in the customer while the corporation seeks to squeeze all value from both employee and customer.

None of those relationships fit into the fediverse scheme.

Is there a page where we can see which instances are ban-crazy and which ones actually federate and communicate?

The only threat to this burgeoning community is the same old divide & collapse nonsense that separates citizens under their overlords everywhere.

I would create accounts and start calling to defederate instances which allow non-polite (or politically incorrect or otherwise offensive) communities.

We didn't just survive the trolls on reddit. We thrived amongst them. We can handle them. We can block them.

I want curatorial tools to curate my own feed. I absolutely 100% do NOT want any admins telling me what I can't read. And going to another instance is no solution if that instance is blocked.

I don't want to be on a purely polite ecosystem, or a purely right-wing-idiot ecosystem. I want access to everybody, and the tools to curate that experience.

The trolls do NOT have the power to take us down. But the admins definitely do.

Welcome to the Defediverse.
