@AyyLMAO @mint okay this is so retarded that i know it’s not a troll and is legitmately serious about this.

hi, user of reddit. here on fedi we have a primarily short form and high frequency back and forth flowing conversation style structure. activitypub in fact was a nepotism trust fund weeny replacement for pshb+salmon+atom commonly referred to as “ostatus”, an offshoot of statusnet implemented by gnu social. the primary concern the network always had with apub was that it wasn’t really a protocol for federation but building blocks for making your own. this would cause things that CAN federate that really should NOT (like reddit) to do so. think what would happen if suddenly you could have twitter users jump right into your reddit thread? that’s what lemmy is, the square peg of reddit being pounding into the round hole of twitter but each are decentralized. yeah you can make them talk but from the perspective of the end user you get nothing short of a god damned inscrutiable clusterfuck of insufferable asspain and unwarranted self importance waxing on about the essential nature of topical discussion threads e.g. all your replies. all i did was link someone else that was asking what lemmy looked like and now here we are. you done being a reddit user or are we going to need to get out the medical futa ponies?
