And how old are you?

Do you sleep in the same bed then?

Oh I have nothing against it at all, I just have no interest in watching them lol

Nothing elitist by any means. I’d love for everybody to come enjoy the Fediverse - it’s a cool place. But to be realistic, we all know that most people are too stupid to ever realize how much Big Tech platforms suck

I don’t even know what that means, so I guess I’ll never know. Perfectly content with my blissful ignorance haha

Good. I don’t want to see some teenagers doing some dumb dance or whatever is on normie platforms.

Agreed. And when you think about, everything is unproductive, really. You are here for a short period of time, and nothing is productive in the grand scheme of things. How does the universe benefit from what Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates have achieved? Absolutely not at all. The Earth is a speck of dust in the grand scheme of the Universe. Just live life and do whatever you want. Enjoy this weird existence that we somehow all were blessed (and cursed) with. Nobody knows why or how we are even here, so just enjoy it as much as you can, while you can.

I used to feel the same way sometimes, but then I thought about it for a while, and reflected on my own life as well. I see all these people around me that are busy pursuing fancy degrees and high-paying jobs. But at what coast? I thought to myself that following societal norms/expectations does not seem fulfilling or interesting to me at all. Why would I want to do things I don’t enjoy, just because it’s what everybody else is doing? No. I decided not to worry about it, and just do whatever I feel like doing, regardless of what other people think about it. If you enjoy laying in bed all day, reading Lemmy content, and nothing else, then fine. Do it. You are not wasting your life because you don’t do what everybody else is doing. You are wasting your life if you don’t do what you want to do, that’s it.

Migrate her over to a Federated alternative. No aggressive algorithms here

Because then there would need to be a centralized entity to host all user accounts, and we don’t want centralization 'round here

It doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t go to an instance just because it has the most members. If we do that, we’ll end up ruining the Fediverse, because the platforms will just become centralized. In stead, find one that aligns the most with your values/content you want to see.

I don’t see why this would hurt us. But even if it did, I would rather take the blow than associate with Big Tech again.

Sure, but Signal is more of just a replacement for WhatsApp and the likes. It can’t be compared to this type of platform really.

I’m hoping that ALL admins across the Fediverse will defederate from Meta. At least we get to have our own separate platform then.
