I think what it means is that it doesn’t add up all the little arrows across all posts and comments, by default. Although, I suppose an instance, external tool, or browser plugin could still do that.
Personally, I am fresh enough to all this that I feel it’s prudent to kind of sit back on the discussion, and am leaning toward the “defederate” option.
However - I deleted my Facebook years ago, and never had Instagram or Twitter. It would be nice to interact with my own family and friends who do most of their online presence in places like that. So I kinda get it. I’m not after the mass-produced content but it would be cool to hear from people I know again that I’ve lost touch with because I’m stubborn about FB.
Just spitballing - and please consider that I haven’t been at Lemmy long enough to know if this is a terrible idea - but what about an instance that hasn’t blocked Facebook and other big corpos, but doesn’t raise their content by default? Like what if you have to actively connect with people on them? Seems like a decent middle ground, until Facebook decides to break it anyway.
Interesting, could be because it’s something you’ve had to do often enough that they’re trying to rate limit you
Gotta be honest, I am kind of curious to try this.
Hm I have made at least 3 gmail addresses and didn’t have to do this. And in fact their apps support account switching pretty easily, which seems to indicate that they don’t really disapprove of making multiple accounts.
In fact the only thing they asked for was a backup email address in case you get locked out or they need to send security alerts, and that was optional.
Wait - what kind of proof of identity do Gmail, outlook, Yahoo, etc require to make an email address?
Is this a bad thing? I thought kind of, curating who you associate with is one of the benefits
That is, they’re here not because they love Lemmy - but because they hate Reddit.
Anyone remember the Digg exodus? This was exactly how Reddit got big.
Anyway I do think it’s a little more than just hate, though. I have poked around at Lemmy before but I’m starting to take it more seriously because I actually cannot use Reddit on my phone anymore.
I wonder how much of a userbase this thing has who have never been on Reddit, though. Probably not more than a handful?
How did that go?
