I dislike using downvote as a disagree button. Makes me feel like I’m discouraging people from sharing an opinion that’s different than mine. Even if they are wrong (in good faith) I think I’d rather they feel it is a safe place to be wrong and just own the mistake with an edit or a reply. I know it makes me feel bad (I know I should have thicker skin) when I’m downvoted for having an opinion so I don’t want to make others feel that way.

Maybe this is a naive take but what exactly is meta supposed to be embracing extending and extinguishing? Mastodon isn’t some huge community that they’re trying to consume. Facebook has a really good track record of contributing to the FOSS community (react et al). Don’t get me wrong I dislike meta as much as the next guy but maybe there’s something good that could come out of it. I’d like it if it was a mainstream entry into the fediverse.

Is it safe to say that reels has failed? It definitely didn’t eat tiktoks lunch but I’ve used reels loads without ever using TikTok. I think it largely an age/demographic thing.
