You’re right. An even shittier reddit that failed due to extreme greed before? What’s the point?

This is the correct answer.

What federation protects from is the singular owner of the platform sweeping in and setting/enforcing new rules for some or all communities. This could still happen on one instance, but new instances can mitigate the effects. Single communities can still turn bad, but it will be up to the users to decide whether to stick around or move to other communities.

This attitude is exactly the problem. The current situation is new and unprecedented. Not seeing the difference is the type of ignorance that allowed this to happen in the first place.

I’ve noticed an uptik of pro Chinese propaganda content here on lemmy in recent days. I am afraid the fediverse had been discovered.

I root for bazzite. It’s so easy to setup and update all while providing superb support for gaming. I actually run it as a desktop os and I love it.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

That is my impression, too.

Thank God I’m not on reddit anymore.

I’ve been using it for weeks and I think I’ll stick with it. It feels fresh and relaxed at the same time.

On second thought, maybe they’re doing the right thing. Offering what the competition does with improved privacy and the option to switch it off completely. I personally think LLMs are pretty bad at real-life queries, but ultimately the users will have to decide.

I’m open for alternative suggestions. The ease of wiping browser data while excluding preferred sites in duckduckgo is really nice.

Tell me about it. Windows by day, Linux by night. Starting my work pc with windows 11 feels like entering a third world dictatorship where everything is exploitative yet completely shit at the same time. And yet, it prevails.
