Technology

Ok, I opened the article, read a major part of it, not all of it, it's a little too long and too "esoteric" for me. I'm a simple guy.

I agree there is a problem, I try to find communication. I can't find much of it on Lemmy, where most "posts" are just links to articles, or reposts from reddit. I am missing small forums from the early days of the internet, where people knew each other... But I didn't find it here.

I am responding to this post, but I didn't even read OP's user name, so I might be a part of the problem.

The article mentions Gemini, which is an unfortunate name for something that is not developed by Google (even if it was called like that before Google Gemini, if you don't have a few billion dollars, you don't want to share the name with something owned by Google), I wanted to check it out but failed.

The linked article "there is no content on Gemini" didn't say what it is... It focused on what it isn't... Or if it did, I lost patience before that part...

So I totally agree regarding the problem, but if you are trying to sell a solution, then apparently I am unqualified to use it.

To me, the very goal of interoperability is not to force you into creating multiple accounts. Big Monopolies have managed to convince people that they need one account on each platform. This was done, on purpose, for purely unethical reasons in order to keep users captive

Goddamn, what a shit take.the big monopolies are trying to get you to sign up to each service using their accounts as the authentication IdP for other platforms. Having a central account to funnel data back to the mother ship is exactly why a lot of us DON'T want a single account. Hell, I have multiple Lemmy accounts for segregating what content I see.

Not sure I care any more about this dudetake when his base premise is so far off line.

This guy complained that a instagram clone only showed image post and not text, and as such it was breaking the Fediverse?

What a terrible take.
