I think even ChatGPT would eb called non-free for them though

Though I know what this is for, but I am against blocking VPNs and Tor since it prevent privacy-conscious people like me and other people such as dissents or other having high risks of like harassment online.

The instances being affected the most are those with open registration, and don’t block registration from temporary email providers, and have don’t have like automatic filter or using Fediverse softwares not providing such.

Though given Lemmy development may not support blocking registration by emails or filtering keywords or filtering federation of very new accounts/new account having no profile, manual approvement registration or applying bots filtering repeating spams may be enough without blocking VPNs or Tor I think

If you want some APIs implemented, make a feature request; you understand what you want

They would dare, I think, maybe even the reverse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

Well, EU at least isn’t compromised like US governments, and still have some sense and its bureaucracy have some senses to prevent Big Tech taking over them, but because of the same bureaucracy and lack of and unwilling to look at opinions from the tech experts, many of their decisions are well, facepalm-worthy such as their upcoming root certs (like you said above) and CRA.

It’s not Linux or SteamOS, but both Epic and CD Projekt don’t support their store client apps and launchers on Linux sadly, such we have to use unofficial ones such as Heroic Game Launcher

The problem is that I think despite the “war” on the surface between copyright holders and LLM/diffusion model corporations, they are actually cooperating with each other to ensure that they would still be able to exploit their creators and artists by replacing them with the models or underpay or otherwise mistreat them, while taking away any chance of competitors or normal people to access to the large language/stable diffusion models or public domain and free/open culture works.

Oh, it is not even “secretly” anymore since many of the same copyright holders actually announced they would replace the creators with LLMs/stable diffusion models, and soon maybe even some of the corporations filing the lawsuits since they would realize they can have benefits from those people than pretending to listening to the mass.

Introducing you to our almighty penguin… LINUX

Mastodon.art is well-known for being trigger-happy at blocking and usually even frame false accusations, their trch.lgbt block has made people lose any trust on them, but there are still people still think they are doing good while in fact they cause more harm tho

How is Sam Altman related to Reddit?

At least Discourse’s softwares are open source, and it as well as many other companies having plans joining Fediverse don’t have a long history of EEE, supporting or letting extremists exist on their platforms and rampage,… like Meta. Meta has a long history of bad deeds so they would get any benefit of doubt.

cough CS2 cough

There are, actually. Since Misskey’s culture are different from Mastodon’s, they have been implementing more features than Mastodon from the start, and Misskey’s APIs are different from Mastodon’s so there will be many weird quirks when accessing Mastodon (even weirder if it’s a Mastodon fork such as Glitch-soc, Hometown, Fedibird,… since they use older Mastodon versions as base) instances from Misskey instances (though Firefish devs are improving this by implementing Mastodon APIs and several Mastodon features). Also note that Misskey caters more Japanese users more than Mastodon, people who aren’t familiar with Japanese culture may also even Misskey userbase and features odd and different as well
