Does this all matter though? Afaik the browser if fully open source, even the crypto stuff so all the shady stuff would be detected (and has as in your examples). Like all of the issues you linked at this point are years in the past. I don’t use Brave personally but it being completely FOSS is a huge plus even if the company itself might be weird. On the other hand you have something like Vivaldi that looks like “the good guys” but you’ll always have to trust them as well because they’re not fully open source.

I use FF but you just cannot deny that using a Chromium based browser has many security advantages over Gecko, especially on mobile. I takes Mozilla seemingly years and years to implement security features like Chromium. They don’t put the necessary priority behind this.

To be expected. I like it but it’s still quite an immature platform overall. There’s lots to be done to make it easier for an average user.

Lemmy pretty much just needs tags. Like you can mark your different “technology” communities with the tag “technology” and a user can subscribe to this tag to view all posts from whatever communities have this tag (and they don’t have to call themselves strictly just “technology”)

Something like that I would imagine so no direct interaction between communities required.

TBH reading “their” opinion on Russia and the Russia war I can see why people would just simply want them to stay within their weird island. Well defederation is still not a cool option in general for the platform as a whole but I can see how admins of instances read stuff like that and can’t help but let their own opinion influence their decision. I would probably stay away from these as well.

Very good, I hope this platform has a bright future. We really need more like this, out of the control of giant companies.

At the same time, I hope they will develop more features to make it harder for content to disappear if an instance every goes down and for users to migrate their accounts.
