Random Joe, or should I say⦠GNU/Joe
Donāt fret, itās on the Fediverse! ā¢
what lemmy gives you: 1/ communities where news are aggregated on themes, that you can follow (also from mastodon) 2/ elaborate threading system for the replies 3/ up/down votes for the news and the comments 4/ views based on the above, allowing to look only at the new, the hot, the commented, etc.
itās not competition. itās cooperation and complementarity <3
Mastodon is an archipelago
[image of archipelago]
It is comprised of islands where people live and speak with each other. some of these island are connected to other islands with boats (the federation) that make people capable of talking from one island to the otherā¦
some of these islands are only connected with a few, some are very isolated. by chosing where you build your house (create an account) you chose with whom you will be livingā¦
on every island are different rules and different ways of being together and looking at the world.
I see⦠weāre either with you, or with the terrorists? :)
I strongly disagree with your last statement indeed. Itās assuming all people here are shitposters and never done anything for privacy, and also assuming Ubuntu did anything for privacy at all, with a commercial model that inevitably slid down the road of sacrificing peopleās privacy and the ethos of free/libre software for profit, and normalizing such behaviour. (you are the example of the latter, finding justifications for the unjustifiableā¦)
If your personal conclusion is ātrust company XX for defending privacyā you may end up grossly disappointed (unless you have a vested interest in that company,m in which case it is ājustā marketingā¦)
If we wait a bit more, it will for sure trickle down⦠right?.. right?
