I think that this is the best take on this topic

They are like kids

Why?

How arent Microsoft engineers annoyed by this themselves?Do they even use the products that they make?

But that is a double-edged sword. What if, for example, mastodon.social doesn’t defederate with Meta, but you defederate mastodon.social? Now you’ve just cut yourself off from a huge portion of the fediverse. Admins should defederate from Meta if their community wants to do that, but defederating from other instances that didn’t do that is going a bit too far, in my opinion.

It is, but it’s not likely as lots of them are in it only for the money.

There are pros and cons on both sides of the argument. I just hope that the decision on each instance will be made in the most democratic way possible.

Meta is a garabge company in so many ways. But I think that we need to allow these giant companies experience full extent of the fediverse. That will hopefully bring more pople on the fediverse, populorize is and make it more widely known / used which is a good thing. But we need to be cautious.

Its better in a lot of ways and I have fully switched, didnt look back since.

It can but given how media is ignoring it I dont see that happening in near future. Us user will have to shape the future of the fediverse and I think that is the best thing.

man back in the day aniwatch.me was the best

just send an email to reddit and use chatgpt to write a request for you. mention your account username / email and request deletion of personal data + posts (account in general) from reddit / twitter as perrmited under gdpr.

Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect… ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.

Or you can use duckduckgo that uses bings search index while protecting your privacy

We should strive to use/promote privacy-friendly and foss alternatives ( fediverse in general ) like Mastodon or Lemmy.

He is such a gigachad

At that point just use Firefox / Librewolf, os just turn off all of the brave rewards crap ( crypto )…

I had the same problem, I have switched over to ProtonDrive and Iike it so much. If you want give ProtonDrive a try.

I tried it and its pretty cool and polished, but Bitwarden is WAY better in every poseible way.

Who cares, people will just eventualy switch to a better platform ( Mastodon )
