It’s alright, you don’t have to announce it.

They can scrape that data withiut federating. Anyone can, there’s a public API. And I suspect once they federate Threads, Mastodon will be a tiny share of the resulting fediverse.

No to say they won’t ingest all that data, of course, they’ll get their hands on everything they can, but I doubt it’s the primary motivation behind it.

That is a luxury that should be severely limited. I hate screaming children on flights, but I don’t want us to all start chartering private jets, even if somehow becomes affordable.

Yes, because Lemmy is still at that early phase of its existence where half of the posts complain about reddit, Threads, Twitter, etc, and that’s just not something I’m interested in. Waiting for it all to die down a little.

It would be great to have a way for communities to voluntarily marge and consolidate once things settle down. I can already see a lot of fragmentation of topics that honestly are never going to be big enough to sustain multiple communities. The flip side of that is that rogue mods could abuse that to merge unrelated subreddits, I guess.

Otherwise, “multireddits” would be great, it was the main way I accessed the other site.

I did a short stint as a video editor at a local news channel. Had one colleague who made it a point to lean back and touch the keyboard as little as humanly possible, and use the mouse for everything. It was excruciating to watch him work. He was fairly experienced btw, so I’m sure he could have done the work much quicker, he just chose not to.

It’s almost like rainbows are recognisable, cover a wide spectrum of colours and are the natural choice for a device that advertises its RGB capabilities. But yeah, it’s probably the gays or whatever.
