There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k) ( lemmy.fediverse.observer )

Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience ( lemmy-status.org )

PSA: Lemmy votes can be manipulated

Threads' New Terms and Conditions Affects the Fediverse ( wedistribute.org )

A clear victory for the free fediverse: Meta now says integrating with ActivityPub is "a long way out" ( privacy.thenexus.today )
When Meta launched their new Twitter competitor Threads on July 5, they said that it would be compatible with the ActivityPub protocol, Mastodon, and all the other decentralized social networks in the fediverse "soon"....
What are your criteria for choosing an instance other than Lemmy.world?

Why is Lemmy World down?
Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.
Idea: fediverse of ecommerce. Time to dethrone amazon and ebay. What do you think?
Buying from an alternative ecommerce site usually sucks: you have to register for every website, enter your address, payment information and other information, they may leak data or store it improperly, you may not know the reputation of the website or business, you can’t easily compare products with other vendors and more....

PeerTube has a federation problem
With the mass migrations of Reddit users to Lemmy/Kbin, and Twitter now speedrunning its own mass extinction, it seems me that the eventual future of social media is de-centralized. I like how Lemmy is slowing turning out, even if it still has some work to do and growing pains to fix up. It’s still able to inform me of all of...
