I think the appeal was supposed to be all drivers are open source. where as even with custom roms, you still have proprietary firmware blobs that must be updated by the manufacturer to prevent any exploits

I’m on infosec.pub because I couldn’t get registration working anywhere. I really don’t think Lemmy will survive because of how convoluted it is.

I don’t want to have to maintain multiple accounts or figure out how to get to the exploding heads url. A normal user just wants one account to “just work”.

Hell, I can never even remember my own instances url

See my other post in this thread https://infosec.pub/comment/488302

Seeing the linking url I’m even more confused to this, I thought I posted on asklemny@lemmy.ml, so everything I post really is tied to my origin instance

So essentially it’s highly censored to defederate them. Not only you can’t view them using a different instance and post, but registering there, you can only interact with their instance. Lemmy needs a better method. I was thinking about this the other day, why is something as simple as blocking content on the users end or blocking x type of content not an option, even on registration. Even if there’s hate speech mixed in, freedom of speech should exist, but freedom to not hear it, should also exist. Essentially shadow banning, but done by choice of those who don’t want to hear said content.

I really don’t think Lemmy will survive as everyone will be afraid of getting cancelled and defederated.

I tried going to infosec.pub/c/censorship@exploding-heads.com and it was empty except one post. shortly after I posted this it looked like their whole instance went offline though. something is glitching, sometimes I can see all the posts when reloading, but usually not
