But you can follow Lemmy accounts from Mastodon

But does it do state too?

Speaking of dark patterns, anyone use TurboTax lately?

Today.

The idea is to show normies on Threads that it’s better over here without so the ads and shit. Let Meta introduce them to the fediverse.

The screen refresh rate makes this unusable. They need to keep a high refresh rate and just report whatever rate they want in the fingerprint protection

Thank you for this series.

Those that are on Threads are likely not even aware of the rest of the fediverse. I think that when they interact with us they will be. And when Meta decides it’s time to start ads some people will think it’s better over here. Also, some people won’t like Threads using an algorithm on their feed.

That doesn’t sound better, for an end user anyway.

It sounds like the advantages are really for the instance owners.

Thank you. I need to read this.

Thanks for the info, but serious question, why would I want to? Why is it better than Lemmy?

This is what confuses me. If they are following Lemmy instances anyway wouldn’t it just use a Lemmy client?

So the difference between PieFed and Lemmy mostly becomes interface? Or is it the server backend?

I agree with you on this much of the time. Especially on sites today that have ads. The fediverse doesn’t have that problem.

But the mobile web interface isn’t that great yet for Lemmy. Pixelfed’s web interface is so good I debate whether or not to use an app but Lemmy isn’t there yet.

As far as I know, you are correct. My main browser is Librewolf and search engine is DDG. But I still use Brave when I rarely need a chromium browser or alternate search engine and he gains nothing from that.

The gay marriage thing is not a good look now, but it’s worth noting that he’s not trying to abolish it today.

And the referral link things is also old and it was walked back after it was discovered.

Choose your tools based on your needs because everyone will have some politics you don’t like.

I’ve been thru a few but my current favorite is Summit

Too bad people on mastodon don’t have the ability to block an instance they find objectionable for themselves-- oh wait.

Not sure about Lemmy, but we can do this on mastodon. I don’t need someone else deciding for me.

Tldr? Couldn’t disagree more
