Because they’re not exactly private

Do we? I was never asked.

The community as it is right now, feels like the early days of Reddit and Slashdot. I really don’t mind that slight speed bump.

I respectfully disagree. Reddit went downhill and became significantly more difficult to manage/moderate when the masses joined.

If people aren’t willing to invest a bit of time to understand how Lemmy works (and it’s really not that difficult to understand), then I don’t think Lemmy is a good fit for them.

It was the default for a very long time. Reddit changed that because it prevented them from monetizing the site that easily. And the admins seemed to dislike what RES could do with the old Reddit look.

The normies are trying :)

Looks nice, but I’m more a fan of Photon. https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon

Thanks for reminding me of Friendica

Now all we “need” is a Facebook-like platform on ActivityPub and the set is complete

Sure, I’ll be out of the loop regarding work related news and I’ll just text all my coworkers individually. That’s just not feasible!

I’ve tried several times over the course of a few years (every time Meta or Facebook or Whatsapp was negatively in the news) to move people away from that platform.

I’ve resigned to the fact that people are stubborn and don’t want to move. I have a Signal account in case someone does move.

The only Meta product I’m kinda forced to have is Whatsapp, as my work and my family use that to communicate, and I have tried to explain Signal to my mom, but to no avail.

Yes, Pixelfed should 100% definitely not have reels. Reels and videos belong on something like loops.video or Peertube and not on Pixelfed.

Keep your reels off Pixelfed please. Use loops.video instead.

Pixelfed is a photo sharing platform
