If I’m gonna pay for the food already then why would I want to have to do more work just to eat it?

Fully agree with you.

Apparently the Senate is not enough and we need to cede an entire other branch as well to the minority. That’s apparently fair…

Yep. As someone in the States, I basically stopped using it. It at least worked well to get people on it here and anything with them was encrypted.

I think it’s still very relevant to everyone else. An open standard is better than a closed system like WhatsApp.

One day we’ll wonder why we let so much get tangled up in single companies. You’d think Twitter would wake people up.

I don’t know how much better going to another closed system is. AFAIK it’s only Google running these servers and only their implementation.

Seems it was temporary maybe?

I add .rss (note the period) and it works fine.

That’s where I’m at. Don’t care that it’s not FOSS or the Dev charges. I just wouldn’t support an app that puts trackers and ads on a product that inherently doesn’t. Putting it behind a paywall wouldn’t bother me a bit.

That said, that’s why I don’t use it nor support it but don’t give a shit if someone else does.

Same. Now my only used app. Similar ish to infinity which I used before.

Party of small government everyone…

Unless someone wants to pay Firefox an ungodly sum out of their own pocket I fail to see how relying on Google for search engine money is so bad.

They clearly are going different ways with the browser and aren’t beholden to them.

Could be a great complement to osm. I’m excited to see how it develops.

It’s pretty great. Lightweight and nice looking.

Even with .gz? Might have to try it later because I’m curious. Thought you always needed the z flag for that.

How anyone respects this market manipulating turd is beyond me.

I just feel like matrix will be easier than xmpp for hosts once dendrite is finished. Xmpp has so many extensions and everything else to manage, at least to me. Setting up xmpp was a bit more convoluted than matrix.

“tearing”

Last I checked gab, gettr, parler, etc all existed. Maybe they suck and don’t get traction because no one wants to be on them. Why not start your own PayPal service and accept everyone?

No, I’d really rather not the government tell me I have to support someone on my service if I didn’t want. Has fuck all to do with personal safety like fire exits.

Like someone else said, I wouldn’t want to be forced to allow neonazis on my service so…

If you’re so concerned, open your own payment platform and open source it or run it with no restrictions. No one is stopping you. Or tell them to accept checks through the mail, etc. Why is anyone entitled to a private company’s platform? There are still other ways to be paid. Why must this one company support everyone?

Hope that Mozilla can take it to 200. One of the best products I’ve ever used.

Freedom of speech only concerns the government not silencing you- not private companies kicking you off their private platform. It’s no different than someone saying you can’t put signs up in their front yard.

Now I don’t know the specifics of why these two outlets had their funds frozen but they should definitely look into alternative methods of payment.

Maybe it’s regrettable but it has zero to do with freedom of speech.
