That makes total sense from a corporate perspective. Maybe I would just love to be the one the pushes us a little bit closer to the enduser having control of their data and hardware. Its probably a pipe dream though lol.
It’s not just about the content posted by individuals though. The community and relationships built on a centralized platform are also at risk to a much greater degree than they would be on federated social media.
I didn’t even notice that was a mod. Disgraceful honestly. I was surprised to see that post still up after the poster continuously and deliberately misunderstood what FOSS means. Like its fine if you want to make open source software without a free license, but at least recognize the difference when people spell it out for you, or at the very least don’t be rude about it.
We love to see bigots on a trans-masc persons social media page affirming that they’ve never been a woman and are obviously a man for x, y, and z reasons.
In my state at least if a third party receives at least 5% of the vote they’ll get significantly more funding in the next election cycle. Pretty sure that’s true across the US.
I’ve played more hours of The Long Dark than any other video game in my entire life. Steam seems to cut their playtime data after several years so I don’t have an exact count, but it’s easily over 1000 hours in this game and it’s still the game I’ll go to first if I know I have more than just a few hours of free time.
