Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it's own "instance", and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again.

Full circle.

We are the corp. You will be assimilated. Your meta and meme distinctiveness will be added to our own. Lower your mods and surrender your communities. Resistance is futile. - Reddit, probably

I mean, if they were to adopt ActivityPub and enable federation, you can pretty much guarantee they'd slap ads next to content pulled in from FOSS instances. Kinda their thing.

My comment also got me into deep thought about how humanity is like a borg collective but we don't realise it

With the controlling rich being the equivalent of a borg queen and capitalism being the control

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
