it may be more comprehensive than trying to scrape other platforms, but the data that is available is absolutely nothing compared to what they collect on their own platforms. they're almost certainly not very concerned with collecting our relatively mild amount of data.

we just need to make sure that we don't rely on their instance(s) too heavily so we only have minimal losses when they eventually do drop support.

while just looking at the scenario itself, that's all pretty fair. but the company's efforts to commoditize its labor directly brought that boring job into existence.

i looked into revolt and pretty concerned with these two stances of the project

We don't think federation is beneficial to Revolt

We have a variety of monetisation ideas lined up internally, with these, it is not my intention for us to paywall features and I find it unlikely we would ever do that considering it would contradict what we're trying to achieve.

like, to me it seems they want to get communities invested and then later monetize in ways those communities don't yet know about?? idk that sounds extremely sus. especially when competing instances will fight against network effects with no federation.

yeah, i agree that i don't think federation of something like this would be through ActivityPub (matrix has its own). i guess it just feels unfortunate that if users want to access communities across multiple instances, users will have to have separate logins and identities for each one.

that's all very fair, i guess i was just hoping federation was at least on a long term roadmap

hmm that sounds really interesting! if you end up remembering it and also remember to respond i'd love to know lol. yeah i hope if something good enough comes along two platforms will implement and then others will just follow suit.

Facebook could just create fake users that post ads as content

the problem occurs when most of the content comes from Meta (they will likely have the vast majority of Fediverse users). especially if major communities exist on their instance. when meta decides to no longer support fedi integration, those in the fedi are forced to decide between staying with their communities by ditching the fedi and moving to threads or having many of their communities ripped away.

meta will do this at some point as a play to draw users to them, but we can decide if we want to be affected when that comes to pass.

from what i understand, the real world hybrid data is significantly worse than its WLTP test data. so much worse that it's only a 25% improvement over petrol/diesel instead of the 75% improvement that would be expected given the WLTP.

we also live in a world which has now known that premise and used it for 300 years, which makes it seem much more trivial than it was at the time.

I wish we would just keep adding E's so long threads would be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

which also happens to be the noise I make when I see them.

the farmer saying he treats the animals like family, which one might imply means he treats them well. but his family has to secretly run away from him due to abuse (insinuated by the wife quickly leaving with the kids). this mean he probably also abuses the animals, which is opposite of the implied meaning.
