@JollyTreecko I am reading, up voting and commenting on this thread from https://kbin.melroy.org/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/99078/What-are-the-practical-benefits-of-the-fediverse
The way I quickly explain the Fediverse to technical folks is it is like public email with voting and open trigger tracking baked in. ActivityPub is the SMTP of an ecosystem of multiple domains and clients with varying policies and features.
What is happening with Threads is very similar to when AOL started making it easier for the people within their walled garden to interact with the rest of the internet.
- Comment on The FCC can now punish telecom providers for charging customers more for less 11 months ago:
@L4s so does this mean I can no longer threaten to cancel my service and get an offer to pay 50% for 2x the speed? There might be an element of agism or elder abuse happening here too. When I check on what my parents pay for internet, they will just keep paying the marked up cost for slow service. They end up paying 2-3x more than someone who calls for new service and for a plan so slow the provider no longer offers it.

@andrew_bidlaw this feature request for KBin to change voting so it is NOT public from 5 months ago has a lot of examples of why public voting can be dangerous, but there doesn't appear to be much interest in changing how this works in KBin or MBin.
