Seven years isn’t a bad halflife for a social-media platform. That’s about how long thefacebook was actually usable, that’s about how long I was active on reddit, that’s about how long I was posting on my blog every day. That’s significantly longer than I was using livejournal or iLike.

Nope. No thank you.

It’s a lot less common to see prominent links to RSS feeds on a website these days than it was, say, fifteen years ago.

I do, I’ve been music for a while about an app that had all my fediverse accounts in one place, a long with my email and possibly reddit (but, uh, without ads). I never check my email unless I’m expecting something and I think a big part of why is because it’s a separate flow from checking my other text-based social media.

I agree with Tilley that many of Chambers’s complaints seem Mastodon-specific, or at least not applicable to the threadiverse.

The only really big disagreement in philosophy I have is the complaint about direct messages not being private messages. We’ve all seen the way that private messages have been used to harass users on reddit. That direct messages don’t include an expectation of privacy on lemmy is, to me, a strength rather than a weakness; something that advantages the recipient over the sender, which is the balance of power we want.
