What's weird to me is that even after being reminded about it he carried on as if they don't exist?

A cool feature would be to enable community mods to "retoot" posts from other communities, keeping the comments together.

LOL as I was typing it I thought to myself "Ten years ago nobody alive would have any clue WTF this could possibly mean."

This has been true for over a year now, I think the only reason that community points anywhere else is because a majority of them already moved to Lemmy instances.

This is a really good idea actually.

I have a LOT of notes on this that will eventually be turned into multiple c/DaystromInstitute submissions.

I haven't seen anyone mention lemmy-explorer yet, it's a good way to find communities too:

Exactly, not being beholden to one set of rule-deciders is not so much an "issue" as a distinct feature of the Fediverse.

The nepotism part has always been true, and talentless celebrities have been around as long as the concept of "celebrity" has, but the category of celebrities "being famous for no reason" did not truly exist until Paris Hilton. Princesses and Kings aren't "celebrities".

Well said. I personally don't get the opposition to Threads using ActivityPub. I like being able to follow Threads profiles without exposing myself to Meta.

Yeah personally I like being able to follow Threads users without needing a Threads account or exposing my information to Meta and I honestly don't understand the vocal opposition to that.

Size has not much to do with it. If a hypothetical instance allowed a "troll farm" to set up shop there, sane admins on other instances would de-federate from the one that allows trolls pretty quickly.
