I'm sure there's a very long German word for that

I keep them separate -- I don't like a single point of failure, and we're all so early on the fediverse stuff that I'm sure a few servers and services will implode in the near future before things settle down. Would be a real hassle to have everything attached to a single account.

There are accessibility concerns with doing that, if the poster doesn't provide alt-text. Images are basically unreadable to the vision impaired.

I'm pessimistic that this will actually change much, or drive users to Mastodon. Just like, as much as I've been loving my time with Kbin/Lemmy, I don't think people are ever going to leave Reddit. Most people appear to have a way, WAY higher bullshit tolerance than I do. It's sad. The old guard are unusable, and the new options are withering on the vine.

Wow! I've been a heavy RSS user forever, and this is the first I've heard of RSS-Bridge -- thanks for this!

I think this post is the most important thing that all these "Why would you block Meta?! They're a huge source of potential growth!!" people don't understand -- who cares about growth? This "growth and user counts are the only metric that matter" mindset is exactly why we all fucking loathe Facebook/Meta/etc. That exact attitude is what makes them so despicable.
