Given their post on mastodon saying they won’t defederate, I would bet money they took that meeting and signed an NDA.

Maybe they even are getting some funding out of it.

This is all speculation of course, but if they don’t deny it then I think it’s pretty likely.

Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

MacOS.

Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.

Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.

I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.

France out of all places was actually considering this?!?

This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.

The word nuclear in general just scares people.

What you’ll likely see is the button links to a centralized service that sends you to the Lemmy instance you are logged into

So the button would never link directly to any Lemmy instance but some central server that sends you to your own instance.

Who would run that server? Probably the same guys who develop these button integrations.

I talked about piracy a whole bunch in the switch piracy subreddit.

Wonder if I’ll get sued in 10-15 years for it along with the 1000s of others.

Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.

You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.

I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.

I miss the Wild West days. It built character.

Children today never have to see this kind of shit anymore.

I showed my friend all of the privacy problems with threads and his response was ‘I don’t care, they already have everything anyway’.

I told another friend and their response was ‘I don’t care if they have my data, it’s not much use to them and it doesn’t have any effect on me’

The world is hopeless.

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.

This post is 2 years old lol

I upvoted. Many apollo users don’t know abut wefwef yet.

You should have picked a more descriptive title though.

Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.

You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.

Just use TLLauncher.

It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.

For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.

I feel like the EEE attack is inevitable at this point.

Why else would they even be willing to federate?

They saw the threat that decentralized non-profit social media is and want to kill it before it has a chance.

All Lemmy servers and especially the largest ones need to defederate from it immediately.

Just give it time, someone will make a native wefwef clone. It’s open source after all.

Hell, if there’s no native app in a year, I’ll contribute to making one happen.

I would like you to point out some example features that can’t be done on here though that exist in memmy? The hiccups on here are not due to it being a web app.

And somehow some people are going to use this as reasoning that they need more guns to defend themselves.
