That's been the takeaway from Star Wars since A New Hope.
"that option because just goes to desalines"
Who is the developer of the software. How they choose to develop Lemmy is up to them - you do have a choice though. Support them or don't. What no one who donates has a choice over is how the developers choose to use the development funds they receive.
Not the point. The issue OP has is with the instance .ml - if they are donating to the developers then they're contributing towards development costs which affect both .ml and every other instance. If that's too much of a hurdle for them, maybe they could switch to donating to their instance admin.
I doubt a lot of Lemmy users have got those apps on their phones. Although I am curious about how it would affect people who, say, used Island or similar (leverage the Work profile) to install them as I have seen that suggested in privacy communities before. Would Meta only be able to access other apps installed to that profile - if you had a browser installed in it too for example?
I think he's confused the US with the UK. Over here, companies (not individual employees) can be legally forced to introduce backdoors and legally prevented from ever mentioning it.
Apple recently got around this by 'accidentally leaking' the fact the UK gvmt were ordering them to break encryption.
If they had developed a centralised bit of software such as Twitter or Reddit you'd have a point. In that case you can't support one without the other.
On a decentralised bit of software you can support the developers and spend your time on an instance they have no control over. So supporting the developers for development is not the same as supporting any particular instance - thats why a lot of instances accept donations too.
Americans when a country surrenders to a heavily armed death machine: lol, surrender monkeys!
Americans when a country surrenders to a diaper wearing fascist old man: USA! USA! USA!
All these billionaires stockpiling in their secure bunkers have clearly never heard of the word 'siege'.
Probably not federated across yet. BTW - you're better using the right structure for linking to communities in post:

And most of all, a gargantuan ego that refuses to believe anything bad can happen to them.
We are excited to share that we can be found at Pittsburgh Pride this Friday (2-8) and Saturday (11-8)! We can be found on the map as SR 26, and will be on Sylvia Rivera St! We will be performing unbaptism rituals, selling merch (stickers, pins, and satanic rosaries), and collecting items for our Baphomet Bags project! We would love to see you there!
Episode Two of our Podcast is now live, the subject is Satanic Safety. We don't use pseudonyms to be edgy. Identifying as a Satanist carries real risk. We interview a few people to hear their experiences.
As well as Podbean, the episode is on PeerTube, YouTube, Spotify, Amazon etc.
There's also a YouTube version without ambient background music for those with sensory processing issues or who just find it distracting. YouTube videos will also be available on Invidious and Piped.
Our UK Order will be in London at the Satanic Flea Market on Sunday June 30th. Come along and say ‘hi’!

Our UK Order have published episode one "Origins" of GOSPod, their podcast.
In this first episode of GOSPod, they talk about the origins of the Global Order of Satan and what it's become today and offer some personal insights into how each of the hosts discovered Satanism and GOS itself.
You subscribe in the usual ways at gospod.chat or either our YouTube GOSPod playlist (remember Invidious is a thing) or if you prefer, it's on our PeerTube GOSPod playlist too.
So, we had a very successful day in London yesterday, Talked to lots of interesting people, sold some merch but the star of the show was undoubtably Rollo, the Hellhound (our Chaplain's doggo), chief dispenser of good vibes.
But you expect everyone to immediately take you at your word without providing any context whatsoever.
