Your idea doesn’t sound too difficult to implement but I don’t know if people would want to store all these messages locally when the vast majority of people are used to having their shit be stored elsewhere. Additionally, if you wanted to target enterprise users, they would want to likely have all their messages centralised for auditing purposes

Other than that, I think its a pretty neat idea

I got one of these. I dont understand why theyre going after us now. I thought their issue was all the money they were making off of “promoting piracy”.
Im guess im not surprised

That’s a great point. I was being kind of reductive.

Perhaps religion’s most zealous followers tend to be people who have trouble contextualising information? That would certainly help explain why the "I got mine proceeds to pull up ladder " attitude is so prevalent there…
Anyway, I don’t want to come across like I’m arguing with you.

I wonder if the concept of religion itself is conservative or if it just attracts that kind of person? My understanding is that most religions’ holy texts are effectively just guide books on how not to be a dick to others (not that religious people actually read them that way). I wish someone would do a study to explore this cognitive dissonance in more depth

Damn it Dave!

As someone who always has a lot of questions (and is generally clueless about most of -waves hands- this stuff), I appreciate people like you

I appreciate the actual explanation. I was genuinely asking, although I thought the commenter’s reply was much funnier.

What a world we live in.

Random thought; a twitter nazi decoder ring could be a really funny novelty item

Erhm… Could you explain what that means?

Is CRT in the room with us right now??

This sounds like the premise of an episode of Veep

Hmmm UTC-5, i’d say. Or maybe -6? With daylight crimings, its hard to keep track of

I hear water is wet, too!

Maybe also archive the reddit page on the wayback machine and add the link to the post? So in the event that you needed the original you could still view it without giving traffic to reddit.

Not to sound like a naïve, brain dead optimist but maybe this is our chance to draw our line in the sand. If Threads falls on its face, it will likely serve as precedence for other companies who think they can use the fediverse for their own gain, no?

As Louis Rossmann says, “never go to war with the internet because you will lose”. I’d like to think that the people who make that quote possible are all migrating or have migrated to the fediverse.

I’ve actually had a lot of success explaining this all like email; where you and I can create our accounts on different “email services” (instances) yet still be be able to communicate. Using something so ingrained in every day life makes it much more approachable, imo.

Once that concept is understood, simply saying that the fediverse, aka everyone who uses this technology, has alternatives to most of the major social media sites is not beyond most people. I mean, we’re all here, right?
