Comment on A take on an "ideal" fediverse
haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 year agoWhile I trust you‘re asking honestly, this topic has already been discussed a ton of times:
We are in a very dire situation worldwide due to corporations ruling everything and keeping us from doing what is necessary (solving world hunger, climate change, wars).
Often we ask ourselves „how did we get here“ and the corporations (through public figures which they are paying) have an answer for you:
- immigrants
- the left
- the right
- politicians
- yourself
And all of these answers do hold some truth depending on your view. But they’re all deflection. And its a long game. They do stuff that is pleasant, like making affordable smart tvs available. But then they put ads in them that you cant turn off without tech knowledge.
Same with threads. We‘re not in dystopia yet with threads but we‘re asking a convicted child rapist to take care of our kids. Sure, nothing bad will come of it, right?
More precisely, it will take the fediverse about 3 months to get used to the 10x amount of engagement. After that it will be tremendously hard to defederate without a chunk of users.
Everyone who barely understands how mass psychology works can tell you this.

Ya, I noticed its everything and everyone BUT the corporation that directly operates in whatever domain aha. Every time, it really does suck :(
Who’s the convicted child rapist btw? You’re not talking about Zuck are you or whoever runs Threads?
Also, we don’t really disagree on anything…I don’t think we should federate at all with anything Meta or any other group that has a history of Embracing/Extending/Eliminating or whatever. I feel like we’re doing fine with whatever we have and are doing now.
Its all tops currently and I see no need to change our calculus or do anything but let FaceB/Met fuck themselves over in time as they always do

Thanks for the kind answer. This is fun. :)
The child rapist is a metaphor. We‘re not scared of our kids getting r*ped in this case but of us and the kids getting (among other things) manipulated to high heavens which meta has been convicted for again and again. Search for metas human rights violations and you will be serviced better than I could ever do.
You actually made me think of an idea. We could auto defederate any single instance that is more in size than the others combined. I‘d need to check the numbers but I don’t think we have this kind of situation rn.
If we made this a rule, corpos could split their giant places into instances which can then be federated and defederated individually. The idea is still a wip obviously.

Very cool ;) Yeah, maybe share that on c/Fediverse and your intance admins and maybe we can all figure out a workable solution.
I’d still prefer we avoid any dependance or engagement with Meta and other offenders. Thats always how they get you. They “change” and see the light but its all an act until they get strong enough/you’re weak enough that they can finish the job. And it would be on us cuz we tried to breast-feed/expected to breast-feed off snake and scorpions. No excuse for us to not be aware of their modus operandi and not immediately reject basically anything they touch

You‘re absolutely correct. Meta isn’t really worth thinking about but having solutions for the future could be good.
