    I think this is a culture clash between the privacy minded FOSS crowd that is naturally drawn to a project like Lemmy and the influx of average redditors thats just looking for a new home.

    If you already have zero trust in these megacorporations you will naturally gravitate towards preemtive defederation.

        Accurate. I’ve known for years that Reddit was going to go this way. As soon as I heard of this place I was onboard.

      The fediverse is entirely public. Every action you take (all posts, votes, favorites, etc) is public. Meta will scrape all the data whether Threads federates or not, there’s no privacy difference because there’s no privacy!

      I don’t think any sane reddit refugee would trust corporations after experiencing first-hand how that ends up lol

        Why yes, I have been told by friends that I don’t need to respond to memes with an in depth analysis because its just a joke, how did you know?
