Damn that's a nostalgia trip. Haven't seen lemon party in a long time. Early internet was full of links to it.

My main question is: What is Meta's goal with federation?

Been trying to figure this out for a while. To get our users/content? The entire fediverse is tiny compared to Threads. EEE? Entirely possible, and others have pointed out how they'd do it, but they haven't federated yet and it feels like it'd be near pointless given the content disparity, though an evil corp will always try to monopolize. To get around EU gatekeeping laws? Possible, and would explain why they haven't launched in europe yet.

Not a fan of that argument. Twitter/Threads/Facebook/Reddit/etc are big enough to be considered a public forum, even if they're being controlled by a private entity rather than a government.

Zuck got defederated by the other pieces last turn. He can move there, but will fail take any pieces.

Are there any torrent clients that don't have that? qbittorrent has it, and even the ancient utorrent had it.

My screenshot is from firefox viewing lemmy.world. If you're using an app, can't help you there. Try seeing what each of those buttons does I guess? Also, out of curiosity, what app is that?

This is the cross-post button:

lemmy.ml doesn't have easy signups the way lemmy.world does.

Though I do have accounts on a few different instances, just in case. And so I don't get blinded by light mode when links send me to another instance.

No clue what this community is supposed to be about, but this seemed a fitting first post given the name.

I have a youtube tab open, it's currently at 498 blocks. After writing that, 503.

My ublock origin icon has been at a steady 0 ads blocked in my entire time browsing Lemmy. It feels weird.

Well, you see, the CEO really wants another mega-yacht. So obviously, decreasing profits by actually paying their workers a reasonable wage is bad, it'll delay the purchase of the yacht by days. Multiple days even!
