We used to say the same thing about the internet as a whole, and then the big tech companies crowded out all the smaller options, started controlling narratives and we ended up where we are at now.

I don't want to see the same thing happen with Lemmy instances. We are on the ground floor.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting a legitimate answer. This is how we can fight authoritarianism. Through information and education. Not by strong-arm removing posts.

It doesn't even matter to me if he is trolling everywhere. We are presented an opportunity to battle this with knowledge and it appears that the moderation here has succumbed to the very thing they're claiming to prevent.

Editing my post to say mods are based. Thanks for leaving this discussion up.

It starts with us.

I came here to get away from censorship, not join it. We need places for open discussion but I'm starting to see that this isn't it either.

This was an opportunity to actually have a discussion about the topic and reinforce virtues of freedom, but it is doing the opposite and illustrating the descent to authoritarianism.

Using authoritarianism to silence the question is not the win you seem to think it is. This shit is gross

100%

It took me years to realize I had it, even more years to get a diagnosis (I was told I had "severe ADHD" btw") and even now, I'm out of medication more often than I have any due to logistical and financial barriers.

Yep, I have my PiHole running on a Pi2 still.

You're underestimating these websites though. I already run into sites that arbitrarily throw up a "Firefox not supported" gate until I switch user agents. That will only get worse.

I'm still very concerned about Firefox's funding majority coming from Google search, especially after the antitrust shutting it down. https://slashdot.org/story/431592

We're headed for dark times for the open internet.

So who is Canada replacing him with, and will the new one bend the knee or continue to fight?

Yeah clippy references. Very topical and modern. Hard hitting. Very politically motivating

Damn right. He shouldn't. Don't forget about these scabs

Almost like he's trying to flick the bic

Shout outs to pardoning Ross Ulbricht, while blaming Canada for fent

Thanks

Really? Where can I find this

In that case, how long til some open source project uses it to make a custom firmware to bypass the manufacturer bs and integrate my cheap IoTs seamlessly into Home assistant?

Shockingly good news from a media corp. Paramount would just steal your discs and tell you to pound sand

You're still doing it

Man you are autistic as fuck

Getting 120fps in the tutorial on steam deck, pretty impressive

I shouldn't have to explain the network effect to you on Lemmy of all places. You go make all the specific communities that I need switch over, and I'll be right there with them.

That's the point, discord isn't just a VoIP app. It has all that other stuff too. 90% of my discord usage is text based. But IRC is dead now, so it is what it is. I was just as pissed about it when discord initially came around as I am now, but this is what we're stuck with until something new takes over
