I heard that Lemmy developers have extremist political views, isn’t that a risk?

Lemmy is open source and open licensed (should check). If the original developers do anything crazy, anyone can “fork” the project, effectively making their own version without the crazy changes.

Or something like that.

Really anything you post publicly is going to be public.

So, you’re not going to believe this, but…

Sometimes you even get to show off the cool, useful shit you built for them!

Sometimes I’ll copy paste the error message back to them. Apparently it works better when it’s in a text message.

Justifications can also be arbortrary

Is this present day Brent Spiner mixed with historical LeVar Burton?

He’s going to get downvotes because the only speech censored on Twitter before Musk was extreme bullshit like neo-Nazis.

I’m on Boost, but should probably look at Voyager.

It’s not impossible. There are a lot of crypto grifters who have been prepping to scam the American government.

I realized immediately, read the comment, and then went back to look for a deeper meaning. It wasn’t there.

I get that you’re using AI directly related to your point, but it’s still a lot of shitty AI spam.

Use it for your own research, but don’t foist that on us.

The other difference is that promoting more and more obscure, useless shit ruins your credibility for when you’re trying to get them to Lemmy or Signal or Mastodon.

Signal is an absolutely fine product and doesn’t need to be decentralized right now.

Maybe. But it’s probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.

Their rationale was that SMS is not secure and having something not secure on their app was damaging.

Yeah, I don’t mind Pixelfed getting attention at all. It’s just that I don’t trust Forbes, and this article seems to want to muddy the waters.

No mention of Lemmy. Hardly a mention of Mastodon. The leading image is all the oligarch apps. I’m not impressed.

I was banned from a discord server today for mocking their continued use of Twitter links.

They warned me that if I couldn’t respect their choice, they’d remove me. I responded by asking if it’s okay if I roman salute then.

Doesn’t seem like a super reliable source. I just grabbed the first result I googled.

I got it from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1bg323c/oc_reddit_traffic_by_country_2024/

It lists worldpopulationreview.com on the image.

There this statista link which has similar numbers and sounds more detailed, but still doesn’t have sources available. Google’s AI points to statista.

So nothing definitive. But I certainly expect that most users are from the US.
