I’m not going to bat for Meta/Facebook.

But in my personal opinion, users choice is best for the users. If Threads ultimately has more and better content(because let’s face it, we’ve all seen LINUX BEATS WINDOWS IN 10 GAME TESTS! 100 different times already), users who want that content will have to create an account with Meta to access it. I’d rather use my Lemmy account and access Meta through that.

but again, just my opinion which ultimately doesn’t matter.

But any way you want to compare Threads activity/uses to Lemmy’s… It’s pretty obvious that Threads is already way bigger which was the main point I’d imagine.

I like how amplified divisive content, misinformation and content moderation is the “legitimate” risks like it’s not already an issue here.

True.

But do you believe the actual people commiting the genocide and manipulating Facebook shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions?

I’d imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook “undoubtedly caused a genocide”.

Seems like it’s getting trivialized to shit on Facebook

That’s a large portion of what’s here as well though…

iMessage is one of the largest enablers of ostracization and teen bullying

This feels like a strange trivialization of teenage bullying thought up by someone who hasn’t been a teenager in a long timr.

100% agree that Google is icky/morally corrupt.

But imo, having “don’t be evil” isn’t a great motto even if it was for the most moral company to ever exist. It’s just a really suspicious motto

I’m not really to worried about Fediverse politics. Shits ultimately silly. Everyone will end up in their own weird radicalizing echo chambers soon enough, seems to happen in all social media.

I just didn’t understand how comparing the president of China to an American cartoon character with no racial connotations was racist.

I understand it’s offensive, but how is comparing Winnie the Poo to Xi racist?

Those COVID lockups caused a population boom that the Boomers can’t even fathom

Tbh 21.6% of Americans being bilingual is way better than I would have guessed. It makes sense that Europeans speak more languages. If each of our states spoke different languages rather than English being a national language, I’d imagine our numbers would be a lot higher.

While we don’t have nearly as cool old architecture like other continents, buildings/houses from the 70s are all over. I think most historic buildings tend to be closer to 100+ years old, which is almost half the age of the country.
