Soup, salad, or sandwich. In that order.

Rather than jump to “trauma” here (and believe me, I say this as a person with PTSD), could you elaborate on what you mean by “fear”?

Razer 2 and I don’t have it

They like having no competition, by being friendly at first, then crushing us when we let them access our userbase. Defederate, with no second thoughts. If the Meta users want to experience the fediverse, nothing is stopping them from making a Lemmy account on any instance.

The content is facebook-oriented content. Idk if it would even really be the kind of audience that most of the fediverse would be able to sustain.

As it is, reddit was a concern for many people. Facebook? Not a chance.

Besides, large scale defederation discourages Meta from trying to weasel their way into everything like that. Don’t encourage them. They want you excited, but overlooking the massive issues.

Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.

[The mascot icon for the app ‘Apollo for Reddit’, a small cartoon-style astronaut’s head, is shown smiling in from of a pink heart, with two smaller hearts floating above it. There is a white volume icon in the upper right corner and white text below the icon. The image has a black background.]

Thank You

Apollo shut down on June 30th due to reddit making drastic and sudden increases to API pricing for developers.

It was an absolute honour to build Apollo for you all over the last 9 years, I loved every minute of it.
