Yeah the icon is goofy but I can overlook it for the time being - I’d rather them focus on features and functionality and bring the fun stuff later (which seems to be how they’re approaching this)

Memmy is developing at a crazy fast rate - it’s leapfrogged Mlem in features and stability already imho.

too little, too late.

Sims 3?!?

You’re way too aggressive about this. You can join any other instance and access the same content, or start your own. Nobody is “silencing” you.

If you want absolute control over what instances you’re federated with, start your own instance. Otherwise, find one that’s more closely aligned to your views.

As others have said, this is one of the main points of federated networks, if you don’t like how an instance is run, you can take your ball and go play somewhere else.

Yeah, I agree with it feeling “off” - can’t put my finger on exactly why. It feels like someone’s hobby project, as in one single person. The UI feels cluttered and not well thought out.

As other people have pointed out too, it gives me a weird vibe that there’s no information about who created it, who controls it, how it’s moderated. And the domain was registered on GoDaddy like three months ago… just feels really off to me.

Isn’t the whole point of federation to allow users to choose the instance they want to use? I think it sets a bad precedent if instances were to block them from federating entirely without reason simply because that instance happens to be run by Meta.

If anything, this would be a huge boon for federated networks and ActivityPub as a whole to have participation from such a large-scale user base.

And there are a lot of people out there who would be scared away from the technical learning curve of things like Lemmy, Mastodon, etc - giving them a more “conventional” way to participate in federated networks is a great way to get people acquainted.

More participation is a good thing.

v1 of Vision Pro? Probably not.

Once the tech has matured and the price point comes down? Probably.

This is a relatively new product category so it’s tough to predict, but if you’re going solely off of Apple’s track record the last 20 years, the first couple of iterations will be enthusiast/luxury products that will drive interest and create demand, and then will become more commonplace. iPod, iPhone, Apple Watch all followed this lifecycle for the most part.

Glad to know Clonezilla does work for the deck - it’s one of my favorite tools and what I use for full system images on all my computers.

It’s like they actively want to drive users away. I know a lot of people have said this, but it really feels like Reddit is about to have its Digg moment.

Another Reddit refugee here: lemmy makes much more sense to my brain than mastodon ever did. So far, this has huge promise.
