If I may quote Nick Offerman…

I grow a beard because I am neither a child nor a woman.

Someone posted here once something like

Farienhiet is how humans feel. Celsius is how water feels. Kelvin is how atoms feel.

I kinda like that.

Honestly, the more I think about this, I feel like keeping Threads will pull more people FROM there than it will push people away from Lemmy… once they learn what the fediverse is.

Anyone that’s on Lemmy **now ** isn’t going to go over to Threads.

why unblock? again, you’re making the choice for them? Most people will use the Threads app and never realize that it’s part of the fediverse… but SOME will and come over. The rest of the people already on lemmy or whatever, will just block it when it annoys them or they will engage and it will be fine.

Not federating it seems like a weird choice. Can’t each user block Threads themselves if they want? Isn’t that the point of the fediverse? User control?

ok, now I wanna see the video this is taken from.

Yes.

There are three things you should drop money on:

• A TV that is like a theater
• A shower you never want to get out of

And

• A bed that holds you like the womb

I recently found out that my local library has ebooks available to borrow via cloudlibrary - https://www.yourcloudlibrary.com/

I suspect many other libraries of people here do the same. They don’t have everything, but, they have enough and you can use your phone, computer or kindle or whatever to borrow and read them.

It’s been great… and free
