  • Putting aside control and anecdotes, neither of which would be fair to comment on without more context and a lengthier discussion, this breaks the email metaphor a bit, doesn’t it?

    The Fediverse is just like email, where we all talk to each other, except Outlook blocked Gmail because MS and Google had a fight during a meeting so you’re gonna have to migrate to Yahoo or learn to self-host.

    That’s not necessarily a criticism, I just find it funny.

    I didn’t want to rain on your parade, but:

    • Firefox has hundreds of millions of users.
    • Lemmy has less than half a million total users, and YTD MAU peaked at 52k.

    Even putting aside technical details, I fail to see how “Lemmy integration in the browser” could be a good product strategy. A plugin/extension can also be developed by independent developers, which seems much more fitting for the size of the target demographic. Maybe I’m missing something.
