- They should pay the hosting costs of any server they pull data from
- not run ads against the content that comes from other instances
- Any changes they want in activity pub should be in the form of an MR on activitypub itself, and they must respect the protocol maintainers of the project if their MR is rejected. If they implement AP features outside of spec, they should be summarily defederated. We do not need another Jabber/XMPP vs Google situation
- Any instance is free to federate/defederate with threads
they're asking for you to hand over your wallet, repeatedly
there are levels of data hygiene and levels of inconvenience people willing to put up with. Pumping less data points into the machine is still better than pumping more
I mean its just bickering about startrek here - but when you go to a specific instance to talk about star trek and he plays edit games to belittle people it sort of takes the fun out it. It's nothing as serious as gender/identity etc
We're a weird mix of nerds in our mid to late 30s, some care enough about privacy to not have Facebook, but had been on whatsapp since pre meta.
Some refuse to install new apps, because "ugh not another one"
Definitely a compromise
Staments is generally very attacky, he plays childish games with people who disagree with him. But people defend him/he gets a pass because of all the memes he reposts from other sources.
His behaviour (and also the fact there is no new star trek at the moment) has me hardly using my account on startrek.website
it was a difficult choice - I pushed for them all to join signal, but there were some holdouts.
Whatsapp was e2ee, which discord is not. Discord can run in a webbrowser or a sandboxed flatpak on my desktop. All messengers suck, what ya gonna do?
interesting - is chromeOS not carrying the modified glibc that allows higher widevine compliance since it moved to running its chrome as a separate process from the windowing system?
discord is my compromise platform, because the only other platform all my friends could agree on was whatsapp, and fuck meta
Fedora or Nobara if you're lazy are a good option. If an immutable variant appeals, I have a good time on Kinoite. There is a gaming centric ublue version now too IIRC
startrek.website definitely punches above its weight, was my first account
But this alt on reddthat.com I use more because it has down voting disabled and it keeps me more zen
