Matrix
I hope you mean XMPP / Jabber? Matrix is as open and chatty as Trump is when servicing Musk.
They didn’t drop them because of money costs, where did you get such a statement?
In any event they didn’t really have much of a choice, even if they dropped the ball by not simply resurfacing the old SMS product they did and do have. Having SMS and have people assume it was private because it was on Signal had already caused various issues, of the kind that causes bad mouth-to-mouth for your service. Signal’s response, while adequate, was also lazy.
If anything they have human rights. There’s also the minimum set of implicit rights that are prerequisite for the concept of eg.: allowing foreigners to request asylum. Now if your country didn’t sign in those conventions, that’s a whole ¿nother horde of issues.
Oh, do cry me a river while you’re at it. Pretty much every community everywhere has a general
or memes
room, those are for the meme gifs (or wait, these are webp these days…).
Don’t they have universal unlocks for suitcases? They can just take a phone / laptop out, disassemble it quickly to clone the hard drive (or sometimes not even that, just power it on and use any of the various Israeli exploits they’ve bought) and presto, you can go on your merry way.
In their eyes, foreigners don’t have rights.
So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it’s real people, not shitty SEO content.
Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?
This pretty much. At some point one has to accept that the people who want to be saved can be saved, and those who don’t, can’t. We shouldn’t (reasonably or not) waste ourselves for the latter in spite of the former.
If I’m talking with people about the topical thing which is why I joined a room in the first place, the last thing I want is a looping autoloops fruityloops annoyance. Plus, not autoplaying and autolooping them saves battery.
Excuse me, Jabber / XMPP is about as old as I am!
XMPP / Jabber is better.
Just sell the car to a derby demolition show. We all win.
Simplest safest way has existed since the 90s:

Yeah it’s so fun to watch l.w melting over Luigi, I wonder if they’ll next also melt over reference to Luigi’s Mansion (a videogame) like Reddit is doing.
This is one of the reasons why I’m against the anti-intellectualism trend of trying to “consolidate” Lemmy communities. Basically subjects everyone who is potentially interested in a given subject to submit to one singular ToS of the (artificially) “popular” community du jour.
I think you’ve pretty much nailed it. KFC can’t ban you from buying a Burguer King that McDonalds is secondhand selling.
This meme could have been an email!
It could be conditioned to revision. If you want to have your posts moved, they would be checked over by the moderation at server B.
But the fact that not even that is an option in the first place means this is a nonstarter for anyone who is interested in keeping the history of their presence.
Or with cooperatives. Cooperatives are a good alternative to corporations.
