I think it depends on circumstances. Some people are genuine neckbeard NEETs who need to stop being a drain on society. Some people are just jobsearching or in education and aren’t assholes to everyone they live with.

Instance checks out
I never knew it was acceptable to do this with boys
To be fair, I cannot think of a better alternative to Email
Email in itself is decentralised. You can set up your own email server and send and receive from it. However, your emails will be often flagged as spam unless you perform some form of black magic and allegedly, you are more vulnerable to spam (although I have been running my own email for months now that’s on the open web and hasn’t been spammed). Some hosts like Hetzner and various ISPs don’t allow you to open the ports needed for email, at least without giving them a ring and explaining why you need it.
Eh, it’s quite leftist here and VERY atheistic but honestly I’ve seen more insane takes come out of Reddit. Here there is reason and sense to those takes, as well as substance.
I remember a very rude university lecturer called me once when I was in Tesco. He told me to turn off the Tesco self checkout because of background noise. I was in the middle of buying my groceries. Wut.
If we’re including xmpp and matrix, then we should include Email 🤭
Although there are better ways to do that than Facebook, like a community notice board with rss and/or federation. But everyone just uses Facebook because it’s what they’re used to
This is why I believe in Jesus
Gmail and outlook both took off though
The Facebook scare is absolute ridiculous. Threads integration can mainstream the fediverse. Basically everyone on Mastodon doesn’t want anything to do with Meta, There’s no way Threads would suck up a good enough amount of Mastodon’s target audience for an extinguish to do enough damage.
Disney, Google, Amazon, I guess Meta counts.
Hard agree. A while ago, Feddit UK nearly lost it’s domain and I was a hard advocate of carving our own identity without using terms such as “Reddit”, “Lemmy” or “Federation”. Basically have our unique identity. As right now all I have told about it see it as a reddit knock-off.
My thoughts too
BURD
Honestly, I think the future of fediverse advocacy for now should be recommending a specific instance and not explaining the federation part until they are using it
Discuit is not a federated social platform, and we do not plan to support federation in the future either. This is because we do not believe that federated platforms, for a few specific reasons, have a chance of becoming mainstream social platforms one day.
Cringe
Unless you have a severe illness you’re receiving government benefits for, NEETs are generally in the position through their own fault because they are lazy
