I honestly don’t expect them to last more than 3 months.

And when they reach park ripeness, put them in the fridge and they stay good for a few days.

This has strong NotTheOnion vibes.

Be careful what you wish for, we might get Caroline or Thierry…

No, because when (not if) Threads goes downhill they will have become the dominant platform with all the users and special communities (just like Reddit was and still is). I want Lemmy to become that platform, not Threads. The whole idea is not to be beholden to yet another corporate techbro overlord.

Basically this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

First they will add loads of new users and become the dominant instances. Then, they will add their own proprietary features that other instances cannot support. Finally, their extensions become the new de-facto standard, marginalizing the original implementations.

Since Meta has proven itself to be an evil company that does not act in good faith, it is better to not federate with them from the start.

Yeah this is a great album. Also, don’t sleep on the other Elephant 6 stuff like The Olivia Tremor Control, The Apples in Stereo and Beulah.

These are showing up all over the place in The Netherlands, a country that is not built to accommodate these Emotional Support Trucks. Most are bought by business owners who would be served far better by vans. Even a small van has more usable cargo space than these behemoths, and will actually fit in parking spaces, but for some stupid reason these can be had for cheap by companies because of tax rules (that’s what 20 years of right-wing government does for you). It really is beyond infuriating.

I would like to see those polls.

What if you pay them 20 million dollars? ;-)

I love it! The Lemmy web interface was acting a bit wonky at times, this is a great improvement.
