1. Couldn’t agree more. I want nothing to with Meta because their end goal is to either have control of the Fediverse or end the parts they don’t.

2. This is an amazing use of the word fuck.

@not_that_guy05 No. Lemmy is not owned by any corporation or any one person. All that federation or defederation means is whether an instance connects to another.

@billiam0202 I’m sorry, what I meant was the integration that Threads has with Insta users (ability to migrate Insta acct to Threads and not a users FB account). You are correct though, Zuck is definitely looking to take Twitter users from Elon.

@Squiglet Neither have I until now😂. Was a redditor for 10 years until the API change and never could get into Twitter.

I’m assuming the @ from Mastodon is just because it’s the default way for it to display in posts. Lemmy uses the @ for replies but doesn’t display it in the comment.

@Squiglet @Xylight Pretty much, although you’ll want to differentiate between @fediverse@lemmy.world and other instances (i.e. @fediverse@lemmy.ml)

@ThatGirlKylie No, you aren’t signed up for it automatically, nor do you have to opt out if you have a Facebook account. This is aimed at Instagram users.

@niszogen All I have to do is know which instance, the community is that I want to follow, is on. For example @aww@lemmy.world was the first option that came up when I typed Aww into my Explore tab on Mastodon but I could also follow @aww@lemmy.ml if I wanted to.

@jcrabapple @ComptitiveSubset EEE. Embrace, extend and extinguish.

@niszogen IDK if I’d consider it just a Twitter alternative. From Mastodon I can follow any Lemmy communities on federated servers and see the same posts that I can see in my WefWef app on my @Khazram@lemmy.world account.

@Bushwhack I’m using Ice Cubes for Mastodon but here is what i see when I’m looking to follow posts in @aww

@DuskLoaf Just started using Ice Cubes for Mastodon (for this reply) but also using WefWef and Mlem.
