The thing with that is, it won’t be implemented in a capitalist system where companies will collect most of the data they can so they can sell it to ad companies, business partners and government intelligence who are all willing to pay big bucks for it.

The reason it doesn’t happen is not that there was no engineering architecture design to prevent it, but because no company is going to willingly break the iron law of “profits above all else” that capitalism requires.

The antithesis to all this is free open source alternatives, like Lemmy itself for instance, that don’t collect more data than they need for the simple reason that they are not built with the goal of profit in mind.

So if we want a better web experience in the near future, the best thing you can do is convince people to use FOSS alternatives and create communities here instead of the giants like Reddit, Instagram etc.

I’ve seen IVPN recommended a lot compared to Mullvad but I have no experience with it personally

Had you ever had the experience of not even having a conversation with someone because before the conversation even began the other person has already made a neat little strawman for themselves to attack your opinion without giving actual arguments?

Go ahead, make the fork

Apparently the most democratic democracy on Earth has declared them as well as terrorists

If you mean for Reddit, you’re on one lol

If you mean for Pinterest, it depends on what you need out of Pinterest. If you want a federated social media for images then Pixelfed might be what you want. Karakeep and Pinry are much closer from a user experience perspective, but they seem to me for personal usage rather than a social one, though I can’t say for sure because I’ve never used either.

The 18 downvotes are interesting

no dog in the “conflict”

very poorly informed on the matter

I somehow struggle to believe that you can possibly be poorly informed on the most livestreamed genocide in the history of humanity

are you literally showing a 2 line change and saying “helix is tainted” because this tiny tiny change was co-authored by claude? lmao come on

If you’re willing to go into the terminal based editor rabbit hole, I recommend going straight to helix, coming from vim/neovim in the past it’s much easier to get into and maintain since it’s batteries included and doesn’t take huge dotfiles to configure it like you want, and the movement feels more intuitive to me than vim’s

Not sure who you are getting mad at tbh, maybe you have misread my comment

Piefed was also detected, and also I’m not sure what your point is. Personally I’m sticking with the original software and the instance I’m on knowing that there’s no such ideological firewall with fake 404 errors so I don’t find out. People who agree with the Piefed and Tesseract dev’s worldviews can go there and enjoy their bubble if that’s their thing

Let them shoot themselves on the foot, they are only providing more evidence that their ideology is the one that needs to control the narrative or else it shatters at the first sign of critical thought

proton.me is in THROWAWAY_EMAIL_DOMAINS lol

Apparently you’re also a filthy commie that should be Operation Condor’ed if you prefer to use an email provider that doesn’t spy on everything you send and receive

We have nurtured a culture of radical tolerance. Even when some in our sphere of collaborators have advocated for actors and views that have personally and severely affected the founders and their family members, this has not stood in the way of cooperation.

The leopards that ate other people’s faces will definitely not eat my face too

yeah I didn’t think about it but it’s so true
