    I’m honestly really happy that Elon Musk bought Twitter and basically destroyed it. If it weren’t for him, open protocols such as ActivityPub wouldn’t be on news. I wish I could say the same for Reddit though. The amount of information it holds is simply too much to ignore. During the blackout, it was hard to find answers to my tech related questions as all subreddits were private. Hopefully tech community will move on to Lemmy.

    Practically, every time I go to peertube channel or mastodon from Lemmy it appears either empty or having few to no posts

      Yeah it seems like there are definitely still some quirks in the Lemmy software and the activitypub protocol! I look forward to seeing how this all looks in like 5 years

    To be totally honest, I’d prefer if Lemmy stuck to Lemmy, Mastodon stuck to Mastodon, etc…

    Having structurally incompatible types of sites linking into each other is almost always messy. Sharing info between them is accomplished by just giving an URL more often than not.

    I think we should want to see all these closed silos put in the position of having to join an open consortium such as the Fediverse. That is the best outcome but given the negativity I have seen in the Fediverse towards these companies my bet is all this fragments to no end and the open solution does not necessarily win out.
