Talkative to some, silent to others. Long term Apollo user and had to move post reddit’s apocalypse circa July 1, 2023
Most dictators/strongmen eventually come crawling to china.
Genuine question, can ICC and its allies sanction us then? If so how is harboring one criminal a better trade? Right on time with disputes with China, too. Tsk tsk.
In fairness. i don’t consider myself tech adept, I don’t know how to run a server but I know the importance of privacy and open source. Maybe take it as a good thing that these are being openly talked about here, otherwise the mistakes of reddit will just be repeated. Supporting closed source is a ticking time bomb.
Companies can and will betray you in the name of profit.
On to privacy and security, they ARE important. You have no idea how many people lost money in their banks or have to deal with lengthy lawsuits and procedures just to get their life back after someone impersonated them by stealing their data or ID.
In our area, OTP scams are very rampant. And people constantly fall victim to random calls asking for OTP and other details ; then have their banks withdrawn huge amount of money precisely because the issue of security and privacy aren’t openly being talked about.
Please don’t take it as a negative, but a good thing that these types of things are being discussed.
As a popular quote (paraphrased) says “those who fail to learn the past is doomed to constantly repeat it.”
We don’t want another reddit or twitter.
People are still healing from reddit’s bad decisions. Let them mourn. Let them be angry, let them go through the stages of grief in their own pace.
Hmmm, on the bright side, with lemmy going mainstream maybe some of this culture (including privacy and FOSS) becomes more and more openly discussed.
Ahh now that you mentioned it, now I know why it feels like it doesn’t stand out much. It feels too much like a browser icon. Thanks. This has been nagging at me since I first saw it.
Yeah, not to discredit the work of whoever made it but maybe they could add an option to choose the older icon. Best of both worlds as those who love either can choose.
Trading one master for another, I see.
This! We all mourn at our own pace. Some people may still be at the anger stage.
You have better eyes than me. :)
No, the fire’s still burning. As long as reddit keeps making news, people will keep talking. :)
Ahh if that’s the case, then I have no sympathy to those who choose to stay. They deserve whatever half baked idiocy reddit will throw at them.
peeks at comments
Mildly disappointed that no one mentioned leaving reddit for lemmy, but also mildly impressed at the level of commitment of these redditors.
Lol as an all-in apple guy (with iphone, ipad, mac, and a die hard airdrop fan), I’m mostly amused. But not at all offended. Win11 is a disaster. So I’m perfectly happy simping for Mac. XD
Hmm, I posted in Games and I haven’t have problems so far knocks on wood.
Well if your interest aligns with some of the communities I moderate, feel free to join in. I have a game related one that’s relatively new but mostly positive.
Feel free to look around my profile if you’re feeling bored.
Oh and don’t take this the wrong way, but the apple thing was maybe to be expected
What community are you subscribed to?
Generally, my experience was welcoming with long posts and orderly discussion.
Ahhh that explains it. Though, forgive the impudence, but I certainly do hope that a flat planet with few circles doesn’t cost 1,000USD.
Maybe as a community effort then. Rather than bought.
Btw, I didn’t knew they were that expensive, for such tiny art, especially for a free non profit software.
I’m thinking maybe the Apollo one was that expensive because it has to incentivize users to subscribe and pay?
Alien civilizations? No. No evidence to support this. But alien life form like bacteria and other organisms? Possible, but still, evidence is scant. It’s difficult for some to accept that we are alone but the lack of evidence suggests a very strong possibility that there’s nothing out there.
Unfortunately, no as far as I know. I personally think this should be the answer rather than Defederation. I’m not sure where to make a feature request for lemmy but I’m not sure why this hasn’t been suggested before.
True, but with the war on Ukraine, Russia no longer has the capacity or is no longer perceived as a country capable of harboring authoritarian outlaws.
