Nebula is absolutely amazing, but it's a very specific niche. I don't think that kind of model could ever work outside of that genre of educational, super high production value content.

using chrome in 2017 was embarrassing. using chrome in 2023 is just sad.

Threads being in the Fediverse is a plus for me, not a negative. It means I could follow regular people and friends who would never in a million years join places like Mastodon or Lemmy while I still get the benefits of being on those platforms, all while being shielded from Meta’s ads and data harvesting. The only issue is I don’t actually believe Zuck will go through with it. They’ll either never federate or severely limit it if they do.

Mastodon themselves have put out a post outlining how this will affect them (it won’t) and how EEE is not a threat. If Meta does eventually opt out of ActivityPub then cool. It’s not like that’s why Mastodon users were there in the first place.

I thought the site was unusable (on mobile at least) until I started using wefwef. It’s literally just Apollo - to the point that I’m not sure it’s legal lol. Highly recommend it or some other client over trying to use the raw website.

wefwef is actually crazy good for a web app. feels as close as we’ll ever get to having Apollo for Lemmy
