I have a friend who uses it religiously, and I found out they would sometimes sneak pictures of people around them, including me. Totally uncool behavior!

So for how long could they have been doing it?

I’ve been using their service for two years now. It’s open source and encrypted, and the upload speeds exponentially improved.

Throwback to when they announced releasing a simple phone. Fun times.

“evil corporation” is quite the tautology.

Neat! Thank you for sharing.

No it doesn’t, only system packages are admitted as viable options for WebView, hence the need for root privileges.

I am intrigued to know what is the original message.

I see myself blowing up a pipeline.

Give Vimusic a try!

Exactly, I had to exclude Jerboa from the firewall since many instances started using cloudflare.

I was in a similar spot and gave up before starting. This is due to several reasons: 1) My circle of relatives and friends, like yours, neglect their privacy and would not engage with me in a serious conversation regarding it; 2) educational institutions, businesses, organisations and even governmental bodies may rely on WhatsApp for communications; and 3) the two big telecom monopolies offer enticing mobile data deals for using WhatsApp.

While I am not saying you should give up, you should go for modest goals (e.g. converting your close family to signal when chatting together) and eliminate optimistic expectations so you don’t get crushed.

We’re not arguing against profitability. However, making growth and profit central to social platforms is the culprit.

Five posts a day isn’t bad as you put it. You’ve been for years overstimulated by Reddit’s abundant content. Many of us have been contributing to lemmy perfectly fine; we see reccurent usernames and profile pictures, we grow compassionate and sincere with each others thanks to this familiarity.

Not everything should keep on mindlessly growing. Not growing fast enough isn’t a problem, yet our modern, capitalist lifestyles make it seem so. That said, I am not against lemmy’s ongoing growth per se.

it just seems that a lot of people are expecting Lemmy to replace Reddit, when it isn’t up to that task and isn’t what it’s designed for.

Exactly, and that’s totally fine. Unsatisfied users will leave and content ones will remain.

The FBI employee with a low wage going through hentai and shitpost material on a discord server:

Hey I know you have “drama” with them but the PrivacyGuides community is solely centered around the concept of technical privacy, non-contextualized, and is agnostic to every other topuc. They’ve criticized (if not attacked) many FOSS projects but only from the lens of privacy and so I would understand their sometimes odd behavior. That being said, it would be unbiased of you to accuse them with such conspiracy theories.

On the other hand, I’m perplexed by the fact that they prominently use the spyware crap that Reddit is for communications.

Lemmy will never win such a race to the bottom. It should not.

Perhaps so. We sometimes get blinded by the desire to expand indefinitely, but I’m content with the current activity on lemmy and the slow yet sure growth.

I’m still researching what OS will be ideal for me when in the close future and it seems until now it’s ubuntu (or kubuntu), but I will make sure removing snap is the first thing to do.
