And finally, after suing everyone, sue the almighty himself, who dared to bring all these pirates into existence.

Internet is a utility and should be treated as such.

solid advice.

Great move. I did this last year after a decade of gnome and can’t be happier. I use sway for work and KDE for pleasure.

It’s also bring used by drive European entities that are not allowed to use WhatsApp and similar.

I think it’s okay, since people on all platforms create multiple accounts and throwaways.

This will happen again unless tools, culture, and conventions are made and taught in fediverse. Maybe communities having a certain mass should be subject to special rules, like irl.

It might be partially due to corrolation as well. People who don’t like to be controlled by corporate overlords and be their products, tend to use/switch to open alternatives.

I took your bait and posted to 196!

That’s the same problem as with Chrome. If internet for most people goes through Google Chrome (which it currently does: Android, smart devices, Electron Apps, Android apps, Edge, Brave, etc.) then the controlling entity can redefine the meaning of that protocol. In the above example it would be Google redefining the meaning of the web, see DRM, manifest v3, and similar efforts. Small players wouldn’t be able to play catch-up or disagree (it wouldn’t matter) and risk bring irrelevant.

The admins of defederating instances fear the same could happen to ActivityPub and fediverse.

The most notable one imo is Google semi killing XMPP. They started Goolge Talk based on XMPP and after many people started relying on it, they replaced XMPP with their proprietary protocols.
