I expect there are very few people running 7, and waaaay less running xp. I think most people have upgraded to 10 or 11 by now.

We all mourn in different ways. Here at the CIA we mourn by doing terrorism.

Yeah the nub invalidates the n. It's the wrong shape.

I don't remember there being a similar CPU generation cutoff before. Your 7th gen intel laptop cannot install windows 11. So Linux is your only choice.

Yeah but half of that is a few nerds inflating the numbers with 10 thinkpads each running different linux distros

So again, it's not valuable to you. It's obviously valuable to the people that keep using it. So it is... valuable.

That's not what "valuable" means.

Yeah they want to make it too difficult to bother intentionally unsubscribing.

Federation will become part of our cultural language and people will come over at that point.

They'll start setting standards, other instances will comply, and meta will control (or destroy) the fediverse.

You think we can't get people to join lemmy unless our Genius Daddy Savior Zuck brings them in?

Nobody is suggesting that we destroy Threads. We just don't want to let it control the fediverse.
The only threat to this burgeoning community is the same old divide & collapse nonsense that separates citizens under their overlords everywhere. I would create accounts and start calling to defederate instances which allow non-polite (or politically incorrect or otherwise offensive) communities. We didn't just survive the trolls on reddit. We thrived amongst them. We can handle them. We can block them. I want curatorial tools to curate my own feed. I absolutely 100% do NOT want any admins telling me what I can't read. And going to another instance is no solution if that instance is blocked. I don't want to be on a purely polite ecosystem, or a purely right-wing-idiot ecosystem. I want access to everybody, and the tools to curate that experience. The trolls do NOT have the power to take us down. But the admins definitely do. Welcome to the Defediverse.
