Never used Sync (I used RiF then slide) but I'll check it out when it's released. The is great news for lemmy and the fediverse. Oh and fuck reddit.

I thought it was cool that there was a recursive element to the simulated realities.
Episode was a surveillance capitalism nightmare.
Really a great movie.
Anyway that stuff doesn’t matter. What matters is it was pretty clear and mostly agreed that the internet works best when we use open protocols and not hide community generated content behind login screens and apps. We agreed to continue to participate in adding to the global knowledge as long as everyone played nice and allowed the content we put in for free, can be indexed, RSS’d, shared and scraped. This way anyone can find it and benefit from it.
This to me is the worst part of the enshittification of reddit. All that human interaction and knowledge base is "owned" and controlled by a profit driven entity. Reddit hasn't done it yet, but I think the time is approaching when they gatekeep all that data behind a login, which will prevent it from showing up in google searches.
Bringing this full circle. Federated apps feel like the logical next steps. I think this path is the correct one.
Lemmy is only four years oldand will continue to get better. There will be other projects (kbin, plebbit to name a few) trying to accomplish the same thing as lemmy, exploration is good. It's an exciting time for social media.
Haha that's hilarious.
I stopped using reddit at the start of the black out and created an account on lemmy.world a couple of days ago.
I hope that as time goes on lemmy and applications like it continue to grow so that moving forward online human interaction/knowledge exchange won't be "owned" by a corporation.

Probably one of my favorite scenes in that movie lol.
It's so bizzarre. A majority of republicans (non-wealthy individuals) consistently vote against their own best interests.
Yes something analogous to a multi-reddit would be awesome.
True, company is still around so someone finds it's useful.
