  • Your mileage may vary, but it's still possible to install some distros without those nonsensical containerised "package managers", or to at least remove them after installation. It unfortunately takes an increasing amount of effort, especially in distros that are actively trying to push their flavour of containerised package manager. (Totally not looking at Ubuntu and Snap)

    What is working in our favour here is the fragmentation, which will prevent, or at least slow down a too widespread adoption of those systems.

  • A basic awareness test is built into the fediverse, you have to choose an instance to sign up on in order to create an account and participate. This filters out everyone whose intellectual capacity doesn't go further than tapping "install" in their smartphone's app store.

  • I prefer quality over quantity. Spammers, advertisers, "influencers", brainless users consumers who can't tell the difference between an "app" and a website, and other "mainstream" phenomena can stay in their corporate internet cesspits. Their absence alone makes a platform a lot more pleasant to use.

  • 10 years here, haven't modded anything and was mostly active in a few relatively niche subreddits, so, unfortunately, currently Lemmy can't fill the void quitting Reddit left (yet), but still not looking back.

    Not giving the corporate fucks at Reddit any more free content. If you're living off the community, don't shit on the community.

  • Didn't delete my account, just overwrote all my comments with a message to corporate Reddit and Spez in particular and deleted my posts. Didn't want to delete mainly because a deletion can happen for any reason, I rather wanted to send a message that can be seen.

    Regrets? Yes, but overall it was worth it.
