They have also already declared that if you federate with them, your instance has to abide by their code of conduct, so they already throwing their weight around.

Thought I was on a different site entirely! Really love the changes, came through well on my mobile pwa.
I've been trying to explain it as...
Imagine if your reddit comments could be read on instagram, twitter, and facebook automatically, and you could read everyone elses comments from reddit too! Not 100% accurate, but definitely a simpler explanation and gets people interested.
I've casually followed them on YouTube, but haven't visited the site in ages! Used to be a daily thing. Good call reminding us!
Uninstalling RIF was a very melancholy experience -(
You kind of have to think of this differently than you would on reddit. The fragmentation is to an extent the point. Maybe you talked about pcgaming on Reddit, 2 or 3 discords, 4chan, and Steam communities in your daily life already. If you miss out on a conversation in one place, that's unfortunate but not the end of the world. If its big enough news you'll see it in another community too.
Here you can talk about gaming in Kbin, Lemmy, Mastadon, Pixelfed etc. As your explore and your network grows, you'll get it all, possibly in the same feed. And possibly you don't care for the kbin pcgaming, you unsubscribe from it and perhaps a big strong community forms on Lemmy.world and thats where everyone goes but you're not subscribed? Someone will boost it your way eventually and you'll discover it too.
Zeus!??! Blasphemy. All father or no father I say. Odin for best God.
I was literally wondering as I read the headline if he had a video on it.
@ernest You are a scholar and a gentlemen. Thanks for making this a fun place I actually want to hang out in.
Thank you for showing the growth in ACTIVE users, not just accounts. Its still impressive, and more truthful!
May just be a gamble on future tech. IF federation is the future of the web (and I hope it is!) getting in early and helping shape it makes sense. Its also something of proven tech at the moment, so if they just threw this up fast to take advantage of twitter fires, it makes sense to use something that they know works as opposed to pulling a bluesky and doing it all from scratch. Also means there are more developers out there that are familiar with the tech.
