The title or this article is significantly better than the content. I’d take a CO2 ban to also ban hydrocarbons.

Risky click.

Edit: It’s unregistered. Which I view as a total failure of the Lemmy community.

I still don’t like facebook. Even without the other stuff, I’m just not the type to document and share my life.

It’s there to solve a very real problem, that nobody is asking to fix.

“I’m not the type to comment and review books, and the people I do know who do that are old, so BookWyrm is solving a problem nobody asked to fix.”

Maybe there are people, younger and more ideologically devoted to non-corporate services than your mom, who do like to share their lives with a limited set of friends and would like a service without all the evil stuff.

That communities can be moderated either through voting or moderation is no excuse to spam them because you’re too lazy to make a DM. How your instance wants to handle DMing is a whole separate matter.

If you want to share something with someone, share it with them. Tagging them instead of sharing the content in a normal way spams the whole Lemmy discussion with irrelevant comments.

I really don’t see how Cory’s view of enshittification doesn’t also encompass the powerful corporation embracing, extending, and extinguishing their own protocol to close any escape hatch. Especially when the key module is so monolithic and expensive.

They’ll make a proprietary update to their relay that conveniently makes it better and faster for their users while making it harder and more expensive for the alternative to keep up. They’ll add a special feature, but only build it out for their implementation and not figure out how to backport it to the public spec. Little by little Bluesky and the spec will drift. All while the alternative keeps burning money trying for something that, while Bluesky is still in the growth mode, provides no benefit. Eventually they give up or just can no longer be a real alternative, then the VC investors start asking for more and more and more. Corporate money isn’t just going to roll over and say “you got us, I guess our investments were just charity”.
