I just want to say the only reason I didn't donate sooner were:
I needed a friendly reminder (the lemmy post was that reminder for me) because life got busy
I didn't know that Lemmy didn't already generate enough to cover the costs of two developers
I couldn't be happier to donate! The work you're doing is amazing! It's helped me kick my 15 year long reddit addiction & reminded me of the original promise of the Internet
You need to stay away from feminism and enby activism entirely until you've humbled yourself and seriously sat with how problematic this take is.
You're not helping anybody with that. Least of all enbies/trans people. And not just because it makes us look bad either, though that's certainly part of it.
There is no fucking way I'm keeping a bedside table like that. Specifically a bedside table.
How the hell am I gonna show people my room politely with vibrators, lube, condoms, rope, spanking paddles, rope & a hitachi wand hanging out fuck all that lol
I didn't say it was exactly the same as FF, I said it immediately improved my experience of the Internet
Auto logouts are IMHO better for society. Putting friction between users and addictive algorithms is a simple way to encourage healthier and more mindful habits. It also encourages better security education
If people have questions like this it's a good thing. It will make them aware of how much privacy they are giving up so they have to make intentional choices about how they design their digital life
Capitalists have really ruined the culture of UX by making it all about what's good for keeping people hooked & helpless rather than what's in our collective best interests
Meta directly opposes the collective interests and human rights of all working class people, so I think the better question is how come you don't care.
There are many good reasons to not use WhatsApp. You've already correctly identified 47 of them.

i love my own opinions!
The best part is when it shoots holes in the wall for more mice to enter through
Definitely not the preference of every vegetable in the garden. But for the ones that are into it I'm sure it's a peak experience
Samuel Beckett memes were not on my bingo card for today
Assmonghould & his followers deserve everything not linux this world has to offer.
So that they can suffer more.
Appropriately far away from me such that I cannot smell them.
Sometimes it's better when people don't use Linux.
Holy shit guys. I need to get my security clearance!
As a trans person please stop. You're not helping & are being underhandedly misogynistic.

I'm sorry, what?
It's women-centered because it's "against patriarchy"... not because it's witchy. And they are trans & queer inclusive as well.
Unfortunately that international pressure appears to be disintegrating before our eyes...
I don't know, it seems pretty normal to sometimes have a platonic friend or family member in my room?
I don't wanna be like "no stay out" sometimes I want advice on what to wear or a second pair of eyes to look for something.
Also, some people live in studio apartments... or have kids...

Yeah that part.
I used to think so too, but last night I found this super cute and informative blog about recovering our free will online and now I'm super hyped about NNCP and mesh networks!! 🥹

Please tell me more about myself, since you know me so well! Not all of us bootlick for meta
