Wanna explain why or just wanna complain?

I’m fine with copying the fun parts of Reddit.

I’ve been wanting to create this but I don’t have enough experience making federated anything. Which parts of LinkedIn would you want replicated the most?

When you’re a hammer, all problems look like nails. That’s most engineers’ perspective to social problems.

No. It must be in the app already. It’s for security reasons.

I’ve been thinking about creating a federated LinkedIn but still haven’t totally nailed the concept, as it goes far beyond just posting content. But no, I doubt you could convince anyone to pay for it.

My main frustration right now is that with the downfall of twitter, LinkedIn became the defacto business contact that people exchange at conferences and meetups. What I’d love to have is an alternative to that for starters.

If you’re serious about that, I would love to have a chat.

I never your your names and I don’t care.

no one is attempting to EEE email.

Yes… they are?

Have you noticed how Gmail labels don’t work with other email providers? Folders and categories? Stars and Important? Many people have come to rely on these features and moving to other providers becomes a bit of a hassle. This is the naughty extension of e-mail.

Another great example is github. Git is open and interoperable, but most companies using github are stuck to it because they use Github also for issues, pull requests, and many other things.

The original sense of EEE’s extend was pushing features that were not standard (to IE). An example would be for example if Threads implemented a stickers function that only worked in the Threads apps but to us only appeared as sticker-id:123456. Any features built around AP that worsens the experience for others can be seen as “extend”.

Your public posts are not protected from GDPR from indexing…

I think this sounds way more reasonable. There’s will always be people like celebrities that I might want to follow, who will probably never be on mastodon or Lemmy. But I also understand the existential concerns for the future of the fediverse.

So threads is even worse than any FOSS app?

I not even shilling. I have no interest in Threads whatsoever. But you guys are totally delusional.

I’m really curious how they will approach this. If you can use threads with any other apps, ads free, won’t people just do that?

bring paid off by Meta

If you think Meta cares the least about some little forum with some thousands of users, you are delusional.

The color and texture of those flowers is very off-putting, sorry 😣
