The difference is that the email protocol has long been established and any new email client is built to that protocol standard. What we have here is an open protocol still being developed. The fear is that FB will force changes into that protocol and take it over. Then it will no longer be an open development protocol. By expunging FB right now before they get a firm grip on the userbase it can preemptively prevent FB from causing damage.
We are kind of in unexplored territory right now. You could compare it to google/MS taking over xmpp but it's not quite the same situation either.
But the reality is that the current fediverse doesnt need facebook to be successful. It already has the users to continue to grow. By combining user pools facebook would have the majority share with their instagram users which means they would have a controlling share of users and would leach users away from the fediverse over time until they broke away at which point fediverse would die as most users would be forced to follow in order to keep their feeds.
This way those feeds never mingle with FB and thus fb cant leech them.
If you look at the mod log for that community ( https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840 ) they appear. They just dont appear in the lemmy.world mod log. So it's significantly less suspicious... but its also obvious that c/world has an anti Israel bias. The one guy got banned for 338 years for posting facts that are not necessarily pro-Israel. I can even understand deleting all the comments since pal-israel is such of hot button topic. But the 338 year bans seem like a ridiculous overstep.
Ah well, I blocked the community. If they cant provide unbiased news I've got no room for them.
Well... not lemmy.world/c/world that is for sure. I'd check the mod logs for any community you find to see how bias they are about reporting the news and which comments they allow and dont allow.
You should be able to view source to see the comment that was deleted but the mods actually edited the comments to read "deleted by mod" in order to hide the reason for deleting the comments. That to me seems like an abuse of the mod log system.
Stumbled across that post and went to the mod log and saw everyone banned for 338 years and all of the mod logs show the comments as edited instead of deleted. Kind of stinks of mod abuse. But there is no way to tell because the comments weren't delete they were modified which completely defeats the purpose of the mod log.
I dropped signal when they dropped sms. I get why they did it but they removed their usefulness for most people. You could. Normally convince someone to use it foe sms and then start using the secure features with that person. Now without sms most people wont even consider it.
When someone joins reddit it isnt obvious what to do. A lot of people come from more common linear communication systems like bbs and etc and the whole reddit comment chain can be confusing to follow. It also is extremely confusing about joining communities and what that does to your feed. The thing is reddit has been around for a lot of years and those of us who have used it have forgotten how confusing it was in the beginning.
What do you define as front page? Cause this is the 4th post on my feed atm.
For now. But if they the majority of market share things will change.
I'm against it. Microsoft has for years been trying to move everything to subscription based. This is how they kill standard game ecosystems. Its like a walmart going in. They function at a loss until they kill all competition. Then they corner the market and dramatically raise prices. They want office 360 for games and in the end we all suffer because they get to decide which games are on the pass and how long.
He is recommending if you dont like the post downvote it. Also if you dont like it... dont open it.
