What..? My comment wasn't that deep, but it sounds like you want it to be. You need to stop it with the unprompted toxicity/hostility.
My comment was simply a nudge to the irony contained within your statement. Apparently you couldn't handle reflecting on that, so instead you decided to lash out about some made up nonsense. (projection about your misery?)
If this is how you typically behave in life, I can understand why you'd be miserable.
I have not been able to replicate the amazing experience I had with Audiogalaxy or Soulseek. [...] My taste in music is extremely eclectic but since I've been limited to Spotify, I am rarely discovering weird music anymore. Fuck corporations.
this seems equivalent to banning a cybersecurity community because encryption get used by bad actors sometimes, so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned
using your analogy; it's like banning access to a piracy community because sometimes pirates use it..
pirates sometimes use meme communities too, but those aren't banned, and .world isn't completely defederated from db0, so that's not it.
so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned since information about staying anonymous online is "sharing the tools and techniques" that could be used in assisting criminal activity.
staying anonymous online is not a crime though. copyright infringement is a crime. that's why the analogy doesn't make sense.
scenario is: people are linking to law-breaking content in x-community. therefore, .world is choosing to ban said x-community that facilitates it, to prevent legal liability.
I understand the need to draw the line at actually sharing copyrighted content, but discussion of lockpicks or linking to sites that sell lockpicks is not equivalent to going around illegally picking locks, except it seems that is exactly the case when it comes to piracy but no other topics.
you're right, while lock picking can be illegal, it's not always illegal. however, copyright law violations are always illegal.
this law-breaking content happens to be copyright infringement/piracy material. another example a host might ban would be a community that is linking to CP, or a community that is linking to Identity theft sources, etc. even if it's just users posting links to this sort of content, I can understand a host not wanting to expose themselves to any sort of legal liability.
hmmm, not sure if chrome has this, but for Firefox I use the "Open in App" button, since I have "Open links in apps" set to Never.
Though I can replicate your issue, clicking a lemmy link in Discord brings me to Firefox, whereas clicking a YouTube link in Discord takes me directly to the YouTube app (technically the ReX app)
The people still choose reddit/Facebook/google. I don't know we're supposed to change that without actually removing people's freedom of choice.
In my opinion/experience, it's for a few reasons. People are marketed these centralized platforms, typically they're very/fairly simple to use, and those platforms already have an established userbase. Combined with the other factors, the userbase will keep growing, which also incentivizes Even more users to adopt the platform.
For most people, there's no incentive to use some small random forum. And these small random forums aren't typically run for profit, meaning people aren't paying for ads for their niche forum or hobby website because it's just a hobby, not a business run for profit. Whereas people will see countless ads for Instagram or TikTok. Typically, people who don't block ads, and use these sorts of media didn't care enough to bother looking for alternative platforms, they couldn't even be bothered to set up an adblocker.
most cryptos are pseudonymous. so, nobody knows who you are until you inevitably tie that pseudonym back to yourself somehow. like if you attempt to cash out, or use that pseudonym (wallet) to pay for something that could be linked to your real identity.
The best ones already have no ads, and they do it for free. They run off donations only. You just need to find a way to get invited into them.
You're pushing facts away by pretending that it's a myth.

Android Settings -> Apps -> Sync -> Open by default
I mean, they're somewhat right, if they're talking about RS Classic -> RS2..
but yeah, he left before RS3

Nintendo would stop them. If yuzu devs want to go to court, they can continue development.
Yuzu devs could do it anonymously, but that's gl on not doxxing yourself, at risk of lawsuit.

Well, you could curate your own whitelist, but that's not very practical for most use cases.

tbh it's better than their previous UI
Old Reddit > Current New Reddit > "Old" New Reddit
any benefits of this over Spicetify? does SpotX also support theming?
