The corporate overlords are inherently right-wing, which is why they fund, build, and embrace those platforms. There’s no revolt in joining them.

Instagram is banned and blocked in Russia but it hasn’t stopped the people from using it at all.

As far as I know, Startpage uses Bing, not Google now. The same is true for Ecosia.
Its Russian founder recently praised Musk in an interview for Tucker Carlson.

As of today, the revenue share is still the same as before the last acquisitions, right? The entry requirements are the same and the discovery tools aren’t worse? If so, and the issue is with the layoffs and unionization, that’s true for countless other companies, especially in gaming.

Yes, my reddit activity is pretty much limited to that now. I don’t want to abandon the community.
I run a community of over 11K almost by myself on reddit and I can’t say I struggle to moderate it. Here on Lemmy I post to one I set up, but I’m the only one doing it. That said, I saw virtually no moderation tools, so it would definitely help to have something. However, I don’t want my posts to get lost or be spread across two or more communities, as opposed to having everything searchable in one place. What would be the technical obstacle in copying the posts and preserving the dates? If size is an issue, they could be capped to a specific size, only with the metadata transferred in those cases.
Which of them support e2e in group chats by default?
I dont need updates or news and if something goes down, someone will make a post about it on lemmy, mastodon, matrix or peertube.
That’s fair, but I don’t think the same is true for most people. There is still a lot missing from the Fediverse in terms of prompt or important updates, especially if related to a matter outside the mainstream. I truly wish everyone had a presence on the Fedi platforms, but that’s just not the reality when even some of the biggest ideological opponents of Musk or Zuckerberg still actively use their platforms, even if their views or practices threaten their very existence.
At the end of the day, the reason even Privacy Guides recommends all the alternative frontends for sites like YouTube is to allow people to stay in the loop without having to share anything with those platforms that collect and sell data. With Nitter dead and Threads being the next big thing after Twitter, the federation could work as a viable frontend and potentially more.
Are you really comparing following a video game page, a media outlet, favorite musician or actor to an abusive ex? Are you on Twitter or any of Meta’s platforms? If not, how do you get the updates exclusive to social media? What if it’s a website that has no RSS feed?
There’s no doubt they have an ulterior motive. The way they’re federating right now is very one-sided and basically tells people they can just post on Threads and get the best of both worlds as they reach both audiences.
However, I see no harm from this to the dedicated Mastodon users who boycott or avoid Meta. They now get to follow Threads accounts without sharing their phone number or other personal information with Meta.
The data collection argument is weak, since everything you post on Mastodon is already public.
Don’t many of the IRC servers expose your IP address and have bots that store every chat message?
There is guilded.gg as well but I don’t know if it’s better for privacy.
Why is this a problem? Buy one used if buying from Google is a problem. Then flash.
Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.
