Duckduckgo has had a star in my book until recently. Because they have been dishonest about their tracking. They do enable Microsoft trackers. But if I have understood it correctly, this is only the case for their apps.

Faces potentially a large fine. Im sure facebook’s government contacts can explain how their spying on children wasnt really that serious or even spying at all.

Articles like this creates the illusion that facebook can be held accountable. But really, what we need is for everybody to realize that facebook is just a unnessecary middleman.

Https rewards bloat. We should pick protocols that is simpler to develop for.

I like lagrange for browsing the web on desktop and I use deedum on my phone.

Because the fediverse has no vision.

The norwegian mastodon instance https://snabelen.no has also increased it’s userbase dramatically. From having 100 active users to 250 active users. I don’t know how many new accounts has been created. I have also seen a new norwegian instance being created with 6 registered users.

Allowing liberals and leftists to coexist would kill all nuance. Letting in conservatives would kill all dialogue.

I agree, lemmy is not a walled garden. What I’m saying is, lemmy is lacking an underlying design philosophy. Design should be guided by principles, rather than replicating the feel of reddit. Functionality should be created to serve human needs rather than from trying to replicate reddit functionality.

We shouldn’t look to the people of cyberspace to understand how to develop platforms, especially not the centralized parts of cyberspace. Instead we should look to the people of earthspace. The offline people. People and communities. What do they want? Or what do they say they want?

To be clear this is a criticism not targeted specifically at Lemmy, but the fediverse as a whole.

No, because its just a copy. Lemmy just takes reddit and slaps decentralization on top of it. Therefore it has the baggage of walled garden philosophy.

Something that would replace reddit is a platform that is willing to embrace the strengths of decentralization and truely design around its strengths. Design around human connectedness, community building, community collaboration, accessability (even for technically illiterate), detoxing.

I get Ben Shapiro vibes from this meme.

But is lemmy really the place you go to consume web comics though? Wouldnt you just link to a site that is tailored to reading webcomics instead?

Its about priotities. What exactly would lemmy gain from implementing scalable graphics?

Yes! There’s the defeatist attitude I was looking for!

Open software are in the interest of people. People should fund these projects. But our funding model does not put emphasis on bringing the grass roots to open software, therefore we end up with neglishable funding.

Why dont open software have a proper funding model? They are one of the most popular distros for christ sake!

I cheer that the description has become independent of external social media sites like reddit😁🤟

Often times dictionaries doesnt define every word. Instead they use recursive definitions. So since they mention, oligarchy, Id look that up in the next step.

I definitely agree with this.

As I see it, people view the fediverse as the final solution to the structural problem of the internet.

I am an technoanarkist from a human perspective. I believe in the human web and the community web, where nodes represents people and communities.

The fediverse philosophy is that when you can choose your dictator, your freedom is maximized. Because people will choose the most benevolent dictator.

The fediverse takes centealized ideology and filters out the bad stuff. We feel like everything has to look and feel the same. We dont dare to reimagine.

I believe we have to stop to look to those in power and look to our communities. What do they want? What does people want? What does organizers and communities want? We should develop the web with peoples and comminities demands in mind.
