Most of the Apps that appear in the “safe” category aren’t the ones that first come to mind when thinking about privacy respecting services^^ I mean MS, Google, Netflix, Discord…
I’ll never understand the normies that use Brave. They’re like “it keeps my data private” blah blah blah. Don’t trust nothing unless you can see it’s code. Also really irritates me when they start recommending it to other uneducated people.
The problem is that there are too few eyes on the code, and Brave is not taken seriously in the cybersec circle, unlike how Firefox is used as base for Tor Browser.
Also, Brave’s developers are malicious in intent, adding spyware, crypto junk and malware all the time, and posturing a lot in media to look good. Honeypot botnet.
this, it’s a cryptomoney scheme. They need to promote Brave in order to increase the value of the cryptomoney token. There’s also an affiliate referral link program I’ve seen spammed a couple of times
Is nice to know lemmy’s history but the problem is:
who defines what is bigotry and what is not?
when a post si too comunist/libertarian/left/right… to be alowed?
The best of federates soclal network for me is that you can be in touch with you want to and be far away from those you don’t want, but without the need to ask for your opposing group to be silenced, that just make the convivence online more pleasing
That is why I love the fediverse in general! But when nutomic talks about the ex redditors from r/GenderCritical says
“Many reddit alternatives have been happy to embrace “reddits rejects”, no matter how bigoted those communities are, in the name of “free speech”. We don’t agree with this view, or with those who have nostalgia for a non-existent reddit past where it was more “free” and bigoted than it is now.”
Is he talking about the instance in particular or refearing to lemmy in general? Maybe I misunderstood that
The answers were all written by dessalines. The definition of “to embrace” in this context is “to take up especially readily or gladly”. Our position on that wont change and also applies to Lemmy in general. But realistically there is not much we can do to prevent anyone from using Lemmy, as its open source.
So, you mean that don’t “gladly recieve” that kind of user but you don’t ban them from using lemmy from their own instance, and even of you wantted to, you can’t.
That sound really healthy in a broad sense , I mean for everyone even of it sound counterintuitive. For a moment I thought you can ban people from using Lemmy in general (not only from using your instance).
I think that FOSS in general has a good chance in the long run, and non-algoritmic feeds probably will help so low down the polarization or at least won’t make ot wors (I hope).
Correct. Lemmy and most other fediverse software are licensed under AGPL, which states among other things that anyone can use the software for any purpose. Obviously its in much more complicated, legal terms. We can only set the rules on lemmy.ml and other spaces we control (eg github issues, joinlemmy site).
For example, there was a lot of drama about Gab, but no one could prevent them from using the Mastodon code (at least not in legal terms).
We give them our main milestones, what we hope to accomplish in the way of federation and features, and pay per milestone completed. NLNet is focused on lemmy’s codebase, not this or any other instance. They’re a really wonderful organization, and the projects they support speaks for itself as to their positive influence on open source: nlnet.nl/project/current.html
Yeah, I was browsing their project list and was impressed by all the cool stuff they’re involved with. Did they start what now is Lemmy or did you reach out to them with your idea?
I’m excited about Lemmy, looks like a really nice project. It has a pretty good interface, which is an absolute must for alternatives such as this to even have a remote chance of success. Also curious to see how federation will perform. Finally, lemmur is cool, but it runs awfully bad on my phone, but so do all Flutter apps. Scrolling is hyper sluggish, animations are not fluid, buttons have input delay, etc. It’s a shame, because the app looks and works well otherwise. There’s certainly work to do in UI/UX (I’m in love with Slide for reddit lol) but it has come a long way already.
Big congrats to all involved! I might chip in some translations when I get some time.
You kid, but there are probably “smart bathtubs” and “smart showers” out there that do run some old ass Linux kernel. The days of flushing a toilet while someone is showering are long gone. Now all you gotta do is hack into their showers and prank them from afar.
