You should see what happens when someone posts news about Windows
You’re right, Firefox deserves a little blame for that. :-P
Federated?
You’re just throwing together FOSS buzzwords at this point.
A sample size of 1 isn’t really meaningful.
Also, this post is refuting a claim that isn’t really being made? At least not literally.
Expect to find more of this type of user on Lemmy.
I’m noticing a lot of people are just… “anti-everything”.
Edit: Case in point: The person further down this thread who said your comment was too long LMAO
It’s unsolicited advice.
It would be like you posting about a minor annoyance with Minecraft, and then having multiple people tell you to ditch it and play Minetest instead.
Lemmy users will cancel this for not being hardwired to defederate with Threads :^)
I will now attempt to invalidate your opinion by parroting the words “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish”. :^)
But the entire point of E2EE is that you don’t need to trust them.
There’s a point to be made for web apps, but with their client apps, the source code that encrypts your data is right there.
and now that a new owner is taking them all
But they’re E2E encrypted? I don’t understand the issue here.
I don’t think the person you replied to actually knows what they’re talking about.
I wouldn’t mind if EU made it mandatory for them to be
They did. Signal and Threema just aren’t interested: https://www.androidpolice.com/signal-threema-nothing-to-do-with-whatsapp-eu/
Ironically, their comments are more accessible than anyone else’s here.
All the people that reply saying “But it is easy, I did it” fail to realize that their personal circumstances can’t just be applied to everyone else.
I did it too. Most of my contacts were not willing to switch. My colleagues at work stayed in their WhatsApp group, and many of my close friends did too. I essentially cut myself off from most of my social circles and threw myself into social isolation. Not a good time.
I ended up rejoining WhatsApp and concluded that in this instance, my mental health is more valuable than the privacy I gain by not participating in WhatsApp.
Not a fan of clickbait.
Edit: I was mistaken, my bad. I thought the article was referring to the admin deciding not to renew the queer.af domain, which was reported a few months ago.
Maybe ask the people what they find confusing about Mastodon, and listen.
I’ll give you example. Say I want to sign up , but mastodon.social has currently closed sign-ups. People tell me I can just sign up on any instance, but there’s dozens of them and they all appear to be the same. As someone who’s not familiar with federated services, I don’t know what to base my instance decision on.
How would you help me overcome this choice paralysis?
XMPP didn’t die, so why would the Fediverse?
