Oh, no! Not being removed from a voluntary unpaid job that saves Reddit millions every year!

The best way to protest is to not participate

Basically everything outside fdroid is riddled with trackers and ads so no, thanks

We care so much about your children!

*Profits by monetizing children data, even though people under 13 aren't allowed on their platform by their own terms of service.

It is open source but you can't publish modified code (this is to ensure there will be no malicious forks like there was with newpipe)

plus you missed the entire point:

... app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

It's an app that allows you to watch the same creators across many platforms

If you don't want to use Signal, use a forked version of it - Session (doesn't require a phone number, only has a code number as id) or SimpleX Chat (not even a code number, completely private)

"bUt ThiNk oF thE cHildrEn!!1!1" is not an excuse for surveillance

drugs are much more complex than "doing them is bad" and banning encrypted messanging apps and implementing surveillance does very little in terms of capturing pedos, while people who use them for legitamate reasons are screwed over

thought you were mistaken but it was lemmings.world that defederated

I hope lemmy.world will do so soon too

fr, fr, no preserve root

So basically, they are fined nothing (100k is less than a millionth of Meta's net worth)

Infinity

still works though I have been getting a lot of load errors

Me? I'm more of a π-male myself

No, but Jerboa is also AGPL-licensed, Thunder is under MIT and Liftoff under GPL

I wonder where they got that idea from

Every country has survaillance, US just makes the most noise with laws being passed. It's the principle that matters - once other countries see that a certain law allows them to monitor people more closely, they'll want to pass their version of that law. Australia is basically a Police State, UK also has very privacy-invasive laws.

What does "Other Data" even cover? Could be literally anything Meta wants

not a drug connoisseur.

wants all drugs banned because "drugs > bad"

37 isn't middle-aged? I had no idea!

You didn't say it, yes. But established survaillance can be countered by encrypted messanging apps, so the next logical step is to ban them. In fact, the US has been trying to do so for a long time now and the same excuse is always given - "think of the children". There's a video by Louis Rossmann and another one by Mental Outlaw, both going into detail about why this is just that, an excuse. Survaillance isn't normal and should not be normalised.

Newpipe

I mean, no suprise there, every country calls out every other country on that. It's only OK for the American goverment agencies to spy on Americans.

Suggestion for a Shattered Pixel Dungeon community

If an app is ok - Kotatsu

c/Piracy?

~~Most are bots though

Many instances have over 40k total users but only 10 people or so active

I think about 250k is the number of real people (still very impressive)~~

If you don't allow explicitly harmful or intolerant content like slurs or calls to genocide, who decides what is "intolerant"? If you allow only some opinions but restrict others you turn a community into an echo chamber that pretends to have free speech, which is worse than having no free speech at all.

But it doesn't matter what you put on the canvas - the point is that you are driving up engagement and that's exactly what Reddit wants

But freedom of speech is allowing all opinions, even when you don't agree with them. And PCM rules include "Do not promote hate based on identity or vulnerability. This includes the use of slurs, echos, and/or Ouija style letter/word chaining. "Just a joke" is not, never has been, nor ever will it be, an excuse for breaking this rule." and "Advocating, inciting, or participating in brigading is not allowed."

As far as I saw it's the only political subreddit that allowes actual freedom of speech and respects all opinions/makes fun of them

Except PCM
