No, you literally said that Facebook is evil, because you said, with grammatically corrections “Facebook is against freedom”. And don’t try to argue that this is a difference or semantic.

Facebook doesn’t give a shit about your ideology, it only wants likes because that improves its influence. Be that capitalism’s influence or socialists influence.

“An enemy of freedom”. 🙄

I mean can you be more cliche?

Or maybe, out of the 3 Billion active users on Facebook each month, you, and many others, are focused on fucked up shit. Because, shock and horror, everyone is gripped by the propaganda of the group. Welcome to being part of a biological social species.

Just for a moment consider the following. Facebook priorities posts that get engagement, they don’t care about morality and fairness and they won’t stop untill it is illegal to do so.

I don’t absolve them of their responsibility, but you attributed malicious intent when stupidity and profit is only needed.

4chan in the early days was just trolls wanting to piss people off. Apart from the occasional post that was truely fucked up, which the community generally made sure the authorities found out who made it.

The current landscape is a bunch of people all wanting to circle jerk themselves to feel virtuous.

The world is just a fucking pathetic eco-chamber now. And I’m a flirty whore for engaging in it.

Thanks for the ironic reply.

Whataboutism indeed. 🙄

Oh for fuck sake, can you to stop with the “what about XMPP” bullshit please?

The fucking protocol still exists. And none of you bandwagoning twats use it. But you constantly talk about it like it was stolen from you. In reality you don’t know what it is and use it as a strawman for your arguments.

Right now, download any number of XMPP clients and start using the protocol.

You don’t because you are part of the “big is bad” elitism trope. Just a bunch of pathetic wannabe underground elitist.

If I name instances in the ML sphere posting clearly anti western propaganda, hate speech and the questionable impartiality of rule enforcement in the fediverse, are you going to cry foul?

That would be because bandwagoning is the lowest form of virtue signalling.

All things that exist already in Lemmy.

And only admins of an instance could artificially prioritise posts on the fediverse, and only on their instance.

Bots, shills and bad actors exist on all platforms to inflate posts and opinions.

And advocating for open standards while excluding platforms because “big company bad” ideology is naivety.

Oh look, more elitism posts.

So you want an alternative to large closed source proprietary platforms, but don’t want to allow anyone who doesn’t use it via a “preapproved” list of providers?

The level of irony in these posts is astounding.

I have no idea how you came to this conclusion but it is legally incorrect.

Property theft is taking anything you do not own without consent of the owner. It has nothing to do with if that property deprived the owner of anything.

I just want to point out to anyone who thinks this is a viable legal defence, It isn’t.

You would be considered to be stealing from the rights holder. The rights holder authorises your use of their property when you pay the license fee. If you don’t pay the license fee you are considered to be stealing their property.

Just to be clear, I agree with the sentiment of this post. Legally speaking though, this defence would be cut down in moments.

None in the personal desktop space. But RHEL is still considered industry best practice for web server deployments. Though I think that will change pretty soon.

Realistically, there is no massive advantage RHEL offers today. Historical it was the most stable and secure offering, but not anymore.

The thing that struck me the hardest was when I found out that this doesn’t breach the GPT license.

Basically this only effects downstream distros like Rocky, Fedora is upstream so it will be fine.

At this point I’m more concerned that this sets a very dangerous precedent.

Lemmy “feels refreshing” because it is new to you. This deliveres a dopamine hit to your brain because we inherently find new things exciting.

As a concept it is the same public forum we have had for a long time. But it is decentralised which does help with restricting the ability of single groups of people from taking control of the native, so that is a good side-effrct.
