I think I’m just going to wipe my account and ditch altogether.
There is absolutely no valid reason Lemmy should have any association with Meta, no matter how vague or distant.
I’m out.
Lemmy.world is garbage. Come to Lemmy.ml where Zuckerberg is not present.

If Lemmy.world federates with Meta/Threads, I will delete my accounts and ditch Lemmy altogether.
It’s shameful that this is even up for discussion.
What an embarrassment.
How do I switch any existing username? Is that possible?
No, sorry.
We know exactly what Zuckerbag is all about.
Not a chance.
I’ll hop right the fuck off Lemmy in a heartbeat.
Impeccable username.
I’m not sure how you can see it any other way.
They had a successful platform (Instagram) and piggybacked a new platform on top and are counting the users toward their numbers.
If Zuckerbag released Threads without being tied to Instagram, it’d be a queef in the wind of a userbase.
It’s a clever strategy. For sure. I won’t pretend it’s not.
But seeing how “Notes” went - I don’t think it’s gonna go very far.
It’s like if McDonald’s started selling hotdogs from their stores under a separate store within their restaurants.
“McDog’s has over 1 billion served!”
No, McDonald’s does - you just put another product under the same roof by a different name.
Not meaning to be rude at all but - do you remember the 2016 election?
These people will vote for anyone who is not a Democrat.
They don’t care about policy, they don’t care about honesty, they don’t care about personality.
All they want is to be able to say “we won!”
They’ll polish that turd DeSantis right up in their minds and pull the lever for him.
Make no mistake.
I appreciate your integrity.
I gotta say though - I don’t know how anyone could see it any other way after 2016.
Republicans would vote for a plastic shopping bag if it ran against a Democrat.
They’re childish people fighting an invisible enemy of “wokeness” and all these other bullshit buzzwords and culture wars.
If Trump isn’t the nominee, they will vote for DeSantis. If DeSantis isn’t the nominee, they will vote for a plastic shopping bag with an “R” Sharpie’d onto it.
Why?
Because Instagram did the same BS with their “Notes” feature recently and now nobody uses it.
You were automatically enrolled and it showed up on your feed and three months later, it’s crickets.
As much as I hate Twitter, I don’t think Threads is going to make a dent in the long run.
I fucking KNEW it.
35 million users my asshole - they’re just counting existing Instagram accounts.
Yes, unfortunately.
Don’t get complacent. Vote.
I’m using the WefWef app.
Awhile back they were like $50-$60 and me and Artie were playing with any XHP70 hosts we could find.
I made a K1 XHP70.3 sliced and loooved the beam but the form factor of the K1 is just too big for me.
So when Artie showed me the L35, it was like “woah - same performance but way smaller - gimme that!”
I love that it has a side button for normal use and a tailswitch that’s instant turbo.
I use this to scare off whippersnappers if they appear to be considering “creating street art” near our property.
It’s also my “if the dog ever goes missing” search light.
One of them Tim Apple phones
Okay - this has happened multiple times now:
The photo was correctly rotated in my camera roll but came out sideways upon uploading.
Any way to fix this for future posts?
Spicy3D is here! Heck yeah!
Jon Slider’s home again :)
Good to see you here, buddy.
We identified the Boston Bomber!
Ooph. Those were wild times.
I’ll be shocked if Threads is relevant within two months.
The “guy standing in the driveway” just outed a woman to authorities for trying to get an abortion.
We already know he is a bad actor.
“Wait and see” is bullshit.
Facebook/Meta is THE largest social network and one of the oldest active ones.
We’ve seen it all.
There’s no reason to wait.
Defederate.
I’m deleting my .world accounts now and moving to .ml.
