Only do it if it's supposed to be part of the wedding. Otherwise, don't do it. It would be very disruptive and distracting and could make an otherwise beautiful moment very awkward. And it'd be something the bride and groom would have to remember for the rest of their lives every time they put on their rings.

I'm betting it's because Pixels have some unique hardware/ software quirks or something.

The difference is the stage at which they "advocate" for it.

People here are advocating for it now before Facebook has a chance to "embrace" us.

Facebook would only "advocate" for it after they've "embraced" us and started to "extend" ActivityPub with proprietary features that potentially caused issues with Lemmy users.

With the former, Lemmy continues on its own, growing naturally. With the latter, Lemmy users lose contact with communities they've become a part of and may be forced to move to Threads to continue interacting with their communities. That harms Lemmy's active userbase. Additionally, because of how big Threads is, it'd naturally have the largest communities, so other Lemmy users would start using them instead of communities on other instances. That means those communities would shrink and may even die off entirely. When Facebook cuts off ActivityPub support, that'll leave us with several small or abandoned communities. So we'd end up with a smaller userbase and fewer active communities.

Problem: I barely check my phone when I'm home. If I'm home, I'm usually on my laptop or watching my TV.

Fortunately, my fridge doesn't have this problem. Instead, it beeps very loudly whenever the door is open for too long.
