Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I've seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn't even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I've been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it's better.

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.

I'm confused about what they would be suing for? Based on the example of Nintendo, if people were sharing links to download Switch games or something, yeah then you would have a copyright concern.

But Nintendo can't sue anyone for simply talking about Nintendo products. Forums have existed since the birth of the internet, and they'll exist long after whatever happens to Reddit, for example.

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.

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.

lemmy instance 😈

This is going to be better than the Woody Harrelson Rampart AMA. And by better I mean an unmitigated dumpster fire. Can't wait.

I really really hate to see Apollo go, but at the same time, I hope other Reddit app devs follow suit. Absolute trash way that Reddit is treating not only their devs, but users too.

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

This has the same feeling as digg v4 apocalypse that originally brought me to Reddit many moons ago. Now, here we are again... the lemmyverse. I hope this can grow to be a true evolutionary replacement for Reddit.
