The other 30% are the COD players currently missing somewhere in Ukraine

You don’t need to use loads. You can access all communities across all servers just using your single lemmy.world account (except beehaw)

Yeah, its sad. one more place dead

Overreaction much? Threads isn’t even federated yet.

Worry about bolting the door once the horse is actually heading towards the stable.

half the population voted for Trump

As a Brit, I can honestly say that neither I, nor anybody I know, voted for Trump. I’m pretty sure vast swathes of Germany, France, India, Senegal, did not vote for him either.

Russia… maybe…

I think long term its a “big deal”, but in the shorter term, the amount of panic among people who are actively switching to another instance because the instance they are on has not blocked threads yet is kinda ridiculous.

I am not leaving lemmy.world for another instance because they have not instantly blocked threads (who don’t even have connection set up to the fediverse in a way that lemmy can share content)

So in the short term (like today, this week, this month) it is not a big deal.

In the longer term it is a big deal and worthy of discussion.

But, because someone says “I am demanding lemmy.world unfederate from meta in the next 24 hours or I leave” does not mean they support Meta on the fediverse :D

There is no indication that they never will de-federate from Meta.

All they have said is rather than shutting the stable before the horse bolts, they are actually waiting for the horse to get in the stable first and then address if the door needs closing.

There really is no need to either defederate from meta, or make that decision right now anyway

I was a manager at a McDonald’s In the UK for five years. Can honestly say our shake/I’ve cream machine never once broke down.

We never took it off early for the nightly clean though, that only took a matter of minutes.

But the regular deap clean, we took it off for that, usually a Monday or Tuesday night as they were quiet, and we were straight up with customers and said it was being cleaned

t could be due to coding issues

It’s self inflicted. This is what happens when you turn API’s off or make them unaffordable.

instead of using a low resource API entry, sites now switch to full on scraping which uses huge amounts of resources.
