Why are they angry? Are you providing evidence in your comments or just ranting?
It’s centralized and for-profit. They will have to do ads eventually or shut down.
Is there crypto stuff in Firefox? Also I like the Pocket integration…
💯It’s the classic alt-right playbook of prioritizing civility over the actual message.
I’m surprised there’s no fedi version of Facebook but I’m also sure as the fediverse evolves we’ll see the return of personal websites but with activitypub-based social features.
They’ve been extremely transparent about this:
Nobody’s mentioned Homarr or CasaOS but if you want an out of the box “Just works” but still open source experience they’re the best bet.
This might be the most lemmy comment I’ve ever seen.
If you’re not familiar, 404 Media is definitely worth supporting. High quality, no-bullshit journalism.
Yeah it’s not the same. Corporations suck in a different way.
Got a link? I’d be curious to read that.
It’s not hopeless! The Fediverse is AFAIK entirely nonprofit, and smaller instances means more moderator eyes on everything, too.
If I had to predict the future, I think apps like Reddit, Twitter, Tioktok, etc will be the places for entertainment and the Fediverse will become the place for conversation.
Reddit has been trying hard for years to move beyond being a discussion forum to another mindless scroling app.
The reason is because in the time people read one discussion thread they only see one ad, but scrolling memes, etc they will see many more. It makes the ads much more valuable.
The reason is because they use that stuff to help determine if you’re a bot.
reCAPTCHA Enterprise interacts with the customer backend and webpages to trigger a sequence of JavaScript, HTML, and token authentication events.

Why is this bad?
I don’t disagree, but discoverability is important. On the flipside there are so many times in FOSS world where I’ve actively looked for a tool for months, only to give up and then months later have someone randomly mention it in a thread where I discover it has existed for years.
Uhh… why did you just paste the comments from the video without the answers?
It seems like we agree on the facts, and I certainly won’t disagree that it’s worse now, but I would characterize Twitter’s (pre-Musk) response to extremism as “measured, lacking and lethargic”, before I would use “imperfect”, which still implies “pretty good” and from my perceptive it was not good enough to make me want to use it. I think maybe we just have a different tolerance for hate speech.
This sucks (Was it really costing much money to run?) but as long as Firefox continues to work with full-flavor ublock I’m happy.
