I hope this isn’t political. I just find myself sometimes randomly thinking about the fact that Truth social is based on Mastodon and thinking about how weird it would be if they were to start federation.
Important caveat that this would depend on what changes they made to the code. Did they just disable federation or was the code stripped out? If stripped out how hard would it be to add it back?
Edit: maybe this was a dumb shower thought. I ended up deleting it.


They removed a lot of the code; and it would threaten their engagement-echo chamber business model.
Let’s be honest here - Lemmy isn’t the tiniest bit less of an echo chamber - it’s just echoing different stuff.
But that assumes that the right and left are both searching for truth and a path to a better future. Any flavour of leftist can be wrong about something, but at least leftism attempts to help society at the end of the day. A conservative is only ever out for themself (and would likely get pissed with me for using “them” in the singular lol).
Is this kind of broad generalization and a binary way of framing the left and right an example of the kind of objective truth seeking you’re talking about?
If there are two opinions present on Lemmy, it’s already twice as good.
It would indeed. Now you can be 90% onboard but disagree on a minute detail and you get called fascist for it.
those are the insane people calling others names lol. at least the different opinions are on this platform
Lib vs Left vs Tankie
