IMO organizations should self-host their official communities. If you’re going to move, it ought to be to something like [email protected].
In addition to the obvious benefits of having admin control/being able to avoid moderation drama imposed by others, it also means you could have more than one community: maybe !openmw for general discussion, plus !modding, !development, etc.
Are you seeing these pro-meta articles on Lemmy or on Mastodon? I haven’t seen them, or much negative effect yet from Threads in general despite my instance being federated, but I assume that’s because I only use Lemmy.
(For the record, I would prefer if lemmy.world and mastodon.world defederated regardless.)
They can join a proper instance instead of a gigantic corporate-controlled one.
Spoken like someone who thinks the only criticism of liberalism comes from the right.
Sigh… if “indirectly linking” is prohibited then literally the entire web breaks.
Anybody who decorates enough cakes to be able to make a statement about how it “usually” comes out can’t be too bad at it!
I don’t think that initial peak was ever “real” anyway. I think it was due to people creating multiple accounts on different instances (or maybe even claiming multiple usernames on the same instance) before settling down with the one account they were actually going to consistently use.
A southern biscuit is nothing like a “savory scone.” It’s more like a cylindrical croissant.

There’s two reasons for that:
Lemmy is still small (compared to centralized social media).
We all chose to be here instead of mainstream social media for a reason, so we’ve all got something in common.
Looking at the rest of the data (especially the sustained linear increase in posts across the whole network), I’m increasingly skeptical that the drop in “active users” is really all that meaningful. Speaking for myself, when the big migration happened I created three accounts on different instances, but I’ve found myself only consistently using one of them. If a significant percentage of the rest of you did similar, that means there could’ve been what looks like a huge drop in the number of “active users” even though the number of actual people using the platform remained the same!
They went to nostr or other parts of the fediverse because the lemmyverse is toxic and they were constantly facing attacks of various types. Same thing that happened to wolfballs before it.
LOL, DARVO much?
“Beef Bourguignon” is just fancy-speak for “pot roast with wine.” You don’t actually have to do all the faffing around just 'cause Julia Child did it that way.
Same reason that back at my university, the Architecture building was ugly and the Civil Engineering building was poorly constructed.
They ought to set up a mastodon.gov server for federal officials like Biden to post on.
I’d say the ability to interact with the high-profile accounts on threads via Masto makes it a much more attractive alternative for many, although I personally have no interest in doing so.
I’d rather we deliberately boycott high-profile accounts until they come to their senses and move to Mastodon.
Facebook didn’t kill XMPP
That’s 'cause Google did.
It’s cured, slow-smoked (to an internal temp of 203 °F, much higher than what would be considered “well done” for steak), and then steamed. It’s literally the most cooked a piece of meat can possibly be without becoming inedible.
On top of that, it’s a cheap, tough cut of meat that only becomes delicious because of the complicated and laborious prep. When you buy a sandwich like that (which is pretty expensive), the extensive cooking process is most of what you’re paying for.
