I got a number of answers that sound very weak to me, and basically point to a “fail” of the fediverse in its own nature if threads joins. Kind of disappointing.

To me, the key idea of the fediverse is that it’s federated and should work as a whole, no matter who joins. Most of the answers below support the opposite. They are basically saying that the fediverse should stay within the “fediverse”, which is exactly what non-federated social media are doing. Meh.

Aside from the “moral” argument, can someone ELI5 what harm can a federated threads.net do on other users (like me) and/or instances?

So can banks in the UK. There is one design for England, but a few for Scotland, for example.

Did they not try to bake in a digital assistant in Windows previously?

I came here to say exactly this. IG and all the others are private companies, with their own terms and conditions one agrees on, and also agrees those terms can be changed by them at any time. Moderation of content is part of it. Deal with it, or don’t use them at all.

Thanks!

Explain?

I don’t think so, because forcing users to post means shitposting.

I can understand. After the initial excitement, the content is lacuster and scarse compared to reddit (due to lack of large userbase)

Why pics on lemmy.world are so much worse than /r/pics?

Gives an idea of the amount of data YouTube is storing, if only this one channel is 250GB!

The people app has been an abomination since the start and was barely updated since.

And what’s the way to reinstate those communities? They might have very valuable names.

Still can’t uninstall it

Up to a point. I played Cuphead and it was too hard and gave in.

No words on ads displayed.

Thanks for your story. I used both MATLAB and Octave, and while the language syntax is the same and most of the built in functions and basic toolbox functions are similar, Octave come short as soon as you start using graphics and more advanced toolboxes.

Adobe are awful. I hope they go soon and bring their shitty Reader in the same way Flash went.

I flew Delta and they offered free internet for WhatsApp, iMessage and Facebook Messenger text-only messages. Better than nothing, but I suppose some of you here would have been able to access the full WAN through that.
