That’s a loaded headline. It makes it sound like all of the missing funds went to Zelensky but that’s just a guys opinion.

Does this only affect Chrome or all Chromium based browsers? Are Brave and Edge going to be implementing this too?

Just because they haven’t launched in the EU yet doesn’t mean they won’t. They were clearly rushing to get this out the door. I’d be absolutely shocked if they don’t go to the EU since Facebook and Instagram are there already.

I only have street parking at my house and I don’t even have any outlets on the front of the house.

Sadly the charging infrastructure isn’t there yet. There’s only a handful of level 2 chargers near me so I’m it’s not practical at all unless I want to go through the hassle of getting charger installed at my house.

It's sadly not any worse than Instagram already is.

I feel like this isn’t talked about enough. Charging at home doesn’t work for a lot of people. Give me a fast charger at the grocery store so I can charge while I shop and I’m in!

It was super easy to sign up but ultimately it’s missing a lot of features and is why people didn’t stick around. There’s still no search or hashtags so finding content that interests you is basically luck with the algorithm.

"People joining the Fediverse are those looking for freedom. If people are not ready or are not looking for freedom, that’s fine. They have the right to stay on proprietary platforms. We should not force them into the Fediverse. We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it."

Who gets to appoint the gatekeepers?

What a huge piece of FUD this is. Threads is already way larger then the Fediverse is. They don't need to come here and try and take users. You are afraid that Meta hoard the content and users from the Fediverse but they are already doing that. Threads doesn't connect now so it's all there's. Why would they connect to just disconnect later? Why is the answer to being afraid of getting disconnected in the future to never connect? This makes no sense. It's complete fear mongering.

That’s not what I said. Moderate dems need to lose to progressives and not to conservatives to move the party left.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer piece of trash.

I don’t understand why people think the democrats losing to someone farther right would make them move left. Doesn’t it make more sense they’d move to the right since that’s what more voters wanted?

Yeah I came to Lemmy and Mastodon so I'm not living in a walled garden anymore...

Yeah but that's all public information that I'm choosing to put out there. Meta doesn't need to do a complete integration and share posts back to the fedeverse just to grab public information. They can just scrape the sites the way they are now for most of it.

What is the point of using something that's federated if we all have to do things the same way? Sounds like you just want a centralized site where you get to make the rules.

Email is not just for individuals. There are plenty of newsletters and other mass emails you can sign up for.

The fedeverse also benefits from their creators content for free too. There's no better way to get people off of Meta than to tell people to come to Lemmy/Mastodon and you can still follow the people you want. Making people choose FOSS or the content creators they want to follow will just force them to stay on Meta.

That's true but connecting to the fediverse is definitely trying to keep the government off their back about being a monopoly. Playing nice is in their best interests for now. If that ever changes they can be defederated at the point.

The OP wasn’t speaking for their server though they were speaking for the fediverse. Everyone should be able to run their server how they see fit but don’t speak for other people.

You don't need to get consensus though. The Fediverse isn't a monolith and you can change servers if you feel the one you're on isn't working for you anymore.

There goal is to not look like a monopoly to the government and have to deal with anti-trust issues. This lets them hide behind them being "open" and not forcing people to use Meta apps to access the network.

Microsoft changed and so could Meta. They’re out to make money not just to be evil so if they think this will make them money they would do it.

Maybe not every democrat is a progressive and that’s why they vote against them? That’s democracy, not everyone agrees with you and sometimes you don’t get your way. Gotta work to change people’s mind and not just say fuck ‘em.

Email doesn't work? I think you are being a little hyperbolic.

You're right. It's all FUD at this point. There's nothing stopping servers from federating for now and then disconnecting later if an actual issue comes up.

Sounds like some changes should be made to the Lemmy software then if anyone can just connect and start pulling out private data about me. Mastodon doesn't have that problem. I connect to my server and my server talks to Meta. Meta doesn't get to see any of my private info. Just the stuff I make public.

This is an absolutely awful take. Can you imagine if you had this approach with email? You wouldn't let your email server connect to a Gmail server or any other email server that connected to a Gmail server. That's insane and email becomes worthless.
