  • According to some people on the fediverse, the Kagi forum thread that is linked in the toots I posted above and seemingly nowhere else.

    From a non political standpoint: I tried Kagi last year and it was ok but I didn’t get the big deal. And because I’m not in the US but the UK if you try searching where’s my nearest garage or stay the nearest result came up as 150 miles away. So it’s one of those things I’ll maybe return to it once it’s developed a bit more










  • I’m not sure that most Lemmy users have much to fear from Threads because it’s a microblogging thing which Lemmy isn’t. I

    I’m on Kbin where there’s slightly more of a concern in theory because Kbin has microblogging capabilities baked in but I don’t think it’s used very much (I have a separate Mastodon account anyway and that’s where the real discussions about all this are happening understandably).

    In practice I don’t know, I have a strong feeling Meta aren’t really interested in this corner of the fediverse right now, they want to be a Twitter-killer after all not a Reddit competitor. Which is why if you’re interested in the subject most of the actual debate is going on Mastodon or equivalents.

    None of this is going against your main point necessarily, Meta are obviously very shady. But also innocent until proven guilty, you know? Most instances have a pretty solid code of law.

    Mods are going to be in for a bumpy ride though…










  • Definitely as a millennial I’m of the last generation that will remember arranging to meet up somewhere in advance and sticking to that plan (or rearranging over landline with more than a day’s notice…)

    But something I’ve noticed when I ask people in my team what their dream jobs are the younger people tend to say ‘run their own businesses’, ‘work for themselves’ etc. Whereas in our generation (in my circles anyway) that definitely wasn’t so prominent. Maybe a side effect of seeing influencers making it big?
