Why isn't anyone talking about this? It looks like Meta wants to compete with Twitter with a new Instagram microblogging app which will probably be compatible with Mastodon

Key Point of the article:

*“Soon, our app will be compatible with certain other apps like Mastodon,” Instagram’s slide says. “Users on these other apps will be able to search for, follow and interact with your profile and content if you’re public, or if you’re private and approve them as followers.” *

The Verge - This is Instagram’s new Twitter competitor

I actually can't tell if you're serious or not. But since it's actually pretty fun to argue here are my points:

Baka is Japanese word for R word

No its not. Are you thinking that because of r/OkBuddyRetard? Baka is a way to say "idiot" and in this context it's there to make fun of a pretty common character type in anime called the "tsundere".

MK brings *masterrace crowd with it.

It absolutely doesn't. It's one of the most accepting and beginner friendly subs I know (maybe besides the 3D printing subs). Nobody is gatekeeping and when somebody does, they get downvoted into oblivion.

You want those things?

You're asking me if I want an anime shitposting sub making self councous fun of Anime while loving it that allinges pretty much perfectly with my ideological and political views and one of the kindes and most helpful communities I know? ABSOLUTELY!

You think the average redditor is the same as the more polarised internet anarchist/communist? There is a difference between the mindset of a Cheetos chugging Discord mod teenager in front of their RGB gaming PC, and someone who is a nerd sitting around either managing hoarded data or reencoding media or studying.

I never said something different. Yes a lot of people will also mean a lot of people I don't want to interact with but that's just the necessary evil for it not to become a shitty unironical circlejerk like r/GamingCirclejerk where I have the feeling that they unironically hate gamers and games. It's a sub purely for shitting on other people. Same thing with r/facepalm

A lot of people also means a lot of good content. Some subs collapse and go to shit when they are growing but others will be better.

Not very helpful unless you want Lemmy to become another Reddit.

That's what I'm saying. I want it to be like reddit but better. I want it to be a reddit with actual free speech.

I will tell you this, a lot of reddit is made up of many elements, like TwoXXChromosomes, FDR (now this femcel sub is purged), once even JB used to exist, now you can go look at all the "russian=orc" Nazism that western users love to circlejerk about.

I know about this. You could just... not browse them. They are on the startpage but that doesn't mean they're good or what I want.

That crap will seep in. I am sure all the Sinophobia and Russophobia is abundant in those niche subs you think are worth their value in comedy.

Yeah no, absolutely not. These subs are against this kind of content and are actively making fun of it.
