Just wanted to comment that your cover image is great and on point :)

That’s an oddly poetic way to shit on Threads :)

It’s too big to actually die. Like, even Digg is still somewhat around.

But my guess is I’ll continue to enshittify itself as time passes and will probably exist for quite some time as a husk of its former self. It’ll still have a lot of users, but it will lack a lot of content and the sense of community it once had.

Which makes me wonder why Meta chose this name. Especially since Threads isn’t really focused on actual threads.

Yeah, not mentioning even a single instance when writing about Fediverse is pretty shit journalism. I was expecting something much worse after reading your preparation steps though :) At least factually it’s not really incorrect.

I’m still waiting for some major news outlet to write a piece about Fediverse in general. It’s odd that it’s either glossed over in one sentence or not even mentioned at all.

No mention of kbin either

Honestly, that message already reads a lot like an open invitation for his supporters to start a civil war or whatever violence in general once something doesn't go his way. And seeing some news about his legal case, it's pretty much guaranteed that things aren't going his way.

Yeah, makes sense. I wonder if there's going to be a mute/shadow federation function so that the instance doesn't show up in /all, but you can still subscribe to a community to see its posts on your subscribed page.

Not for this instance specifically, but as in some general functionality.

Looks like it’s defederated from kbin. Its communities don’t show up in search.

There’s a link to explain xkcd right in the post, but in short — they’re the same person.

I like the way Europe handles tipping. A lot of the restaurants generally add a fixed service charge (most often it’s about €3 per person), and that’s kinda it. It’s common to leave a couple of euros extra, but nothing too drastic. Huge tips are not expected, and like half of the machines don’t even support the tipping function (more common in France/Italy, for example, while countries like Greece are more likely to have tipping enabled).

There might be a bit more pressure to tip in more touristy city center places, but you’re better off avoiding those in general anyway. Smaller local restaurants are way better.

Furthermore, tipping isn’t expected outside of restaurants/deliveries at all. The amount of jobs that seem to require tipping in the US is insane. Like guys, just put it in the bill and tell me the price.

There’s been a lot of discussion, but I’m not sure if anything’s truly active yet.

For example, check out this latest post from this community, or this one that is more copy-to-Lemmy-focused.

fearout , to RedditMigration in remember to update your review of the official reddit app
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

If you sort by newest almost every comment has been 1 star for a couple of months already. It’s just hard to break through millions of reviews throughout the years. Time-weighed rating system would be more accurate.
