You directly told me to spin up my own server if I don’t like it lol, I didn’t tell anyone to do anything. Sharing an opinion isn’t the same thing as telling people what to do.

Being in control of who sees my post. Lemmy still lacks more granular post visibility like Mastodon does. If I restrict a message to followers on Mastodon, I know just they would see it, and so would their current instances which are much smaller and fragmented. Compared that to any social media where that’s going to easily be tracked on both sides. Federating with threads doesn’t change this. Also as you said, lack of analytics is nice. Privacy could definitely be improved though. Mastodon direct messaging is still weird and really should use e2ee.

Why do you hate user choice so much?

Sick, I get tons of more interesting content while being with a Mastodon instance I trust, a nice FOSS client to explore the content, and keep my privacy! If this actually bothered me, I could simply click the three dots and block the instance, so surely that shouldn’t be a big deal, right?

Budgets exist

Communism

I hate Apple, but they are entirely in the right here

They don’t need to do that when the fedi is a thousandth of the size of their social networks lol. It’s hilarious that you think they need our user base.

On what lol

The whole two of them? What good XMPP client is there again?

Meta does not give a shit to absorb the fedi. We are like a thousandth of their size, just a blip on their radar. I have no idea where people get this idea of self importance that Meta cares about their 10 user server.

It’s fine lol, except they are way too aggressive on ads

I’m tall and skinny. Unfortunately it doesn’t translate to picking up girls well

Sounds lame as hell, it’s awesome

What do you think towns and cities are

I hope not, it was a toxic shit hole filled with complete fucking losers.

That would destroy the already limited content of the fedi. It’s like people hate content discovery for some reason.

Firefox Android + uBlock Origin (all filters enabled in settings except languages) = usable internet

Common Firefox W

Why would it be exclusive to a super shitty operating system
