Different app

I didn’t watch this video but I suspect the sentiment is similar to Sabine’s (I highly recommend her channel)

It has video+audio calls but not push-to-talk and there are no “voice only”-rooms or whatever it is discord has

I never used Discord but used google hangouts before switching to Telegram and Matrix (the former for family and the latter for everything else).

It isn’t different and you are rightfully confused about the way they phrased that.

We don’t know if axions are a real thing. This is still highly speculative.

No, only comments made after they refederate

I don’t disagree. I want to see topic aggregation as soon as possible too.

My comment was in response to the implication that people who exercise their right to not listen to everyone talking are using defederation as some sort of weapon to fulfil their chaotic, destructive agenda while free-speech instances are merely open to any and all interactions like exemplary participants in a civilised democratic society.

If you actually want to know what my perspective is, I just wrote about it: https://mander.xyz/post/739439

I don’t think of the threadiverse as a link aggregation platform but as a network of communities engaging in threaded discussion. The federated model is an answer to the problem of platform lock-in, the network effect, and the lack of autonomy communities have on proprietary/commercial/centralised platforms.

Without the possibility of creating a meta layer to let users group different communities into a single feed

This isn’t an intrinsic limitation of the protocol but a matter of UX, and given how frequently it is requested it’s bound to be implemented in some way by some project; if not Lemmy then maybe kbin or something new that crops up.

the free side, that talks with everyone

the side that talks at everyone and gets mad when people exercise their freedom from listening to everyone

Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, has voiced support for some guardrails on AI and signed on with other tech executives to a warning about the risks it poses to humankind. But he also has said it’s “a mistake to go put heavy regulation on the field right now.”

Lol, this guy
