  I think one of the Lemmy devs is German too

  “Hysteria”, that’s one way to belittle people.

  Could be just tactics. Remember the uproar the first time it was said threads would federate? Suddenly they were “not ready yet”.

  Now in the second go, the idea got already normalized and there are more pro-meta comments. And they will stay silent and non-intrusive at the beginning.

  Zuck is really big into early adaptation (metaverse i.e.), they see potential in the fediverse and their first objective is to be part of it, then grow with it and finally take advantage of it, once the time is right.

  It’s really not a good thing that some people think the fediverse is going to go up in flames as soon as meta joins. That’s obviously not going to happen and sets wrong expectations that could lead to more acceptance.

  Done! Never did before, but I guess the headline had the right effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:

  In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they’ve also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not from lemm.ee, but I believe that this problem is something the whole fediverse is facing.

  Users from instances like hexbear, lemmygrad, exploding heads etc. seem to have some things in common: -Brigading -Trolling -Spreading misinformation/lies about genocides, wars, etc. -Demanding to be heard because of free speech and “tolerance” -When they face resistance, they get aggressive and you better believe that the comments going against their narrative are getting deleted on their instance

  They are using lemmy to spread their propaganda and hate. This is exactly how propaganda is effective: spew the same bullshit as often as possible and, because humans tend to believe things to be true that they see or read a lot, radicalize users through it. Of course that doesn’t count for every person on that instance but in the end it doesn’t matter if a user is an edgy teenager, a radicalized senior or someone with hundred accounts. They are doing damage and the only way to win against them is to not let them into the playground.

  How human of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Footage Shows Tesla On Autopilot Crashing Into Police Car After Alerting Driver 150 Times⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You made the first comment: “Teslas aren’t safe”, without providing proof.

  And now you’re calling someone a hypocrite because he asks for data of exactly what you claimed, while you’re redefining your first argument as “the contrary”.

  So, do you have proof that Tesla’s aren’t safe in comparison to other cars, or is it just your opinion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good Old Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It has of course nothing to do with the enormous amount of money they rake through their app store by squeezing both the developers and the users.

  Why would they try to force people to only use the store by implementing more and more security features along the way!?

  It’s a mystery!
