I mean, with all the censoring and pandering to Musk, allowing for entire bot swarms to the point it really becomes obvious it’s happening - who could have predicted this?
That’s right, kids. Allying yourself with fascist tendencies in any way, shape or form will hurt you in the long run. Just provide the damn service people are looking for and stop playing god, trying to use your platform to shape opinions and censor statements you or your buddies don’t like.
Guessed as much with the wave of censorship many people, including myself, noticed and shared, pretty much exclusively to anti-MAGA opinions, and regardless of them being constructive and objective.
That, and the increase in bot activity in european and canadian subreddits, to the point it felt there were more pro-MAGA’s demotivating and belittling people trying to make a change, than actual europeans or canadians.
It’s one thing to not agree with my opinion, it’s a-ok with me and everyone has a right to it. I even agree with moderating extreme and violent statements when necessary. It’s another thing entirely to censor my opinion because you don’t like it. And on a forum like Reddit that’s inadmissible.
Nuked my account, changed to Lemmy and never looked back. And I’m happy for it. If you can’t take my opinion without trying to take my voice away I’ll just leave you alone in your echo chamber.
Funny. I thought Apple, Meta, Facebook and Google facing lawsuits in Europe over breaking EU laws was completely unfair, according to Mango Mussolini.
How (mo)ironic, as usual. 🙄
Nothing shady going on here, proceed with your day as usual, dumb citizen. 🤡
Yes, that’s excellent. We need our own Google suite. Fingers crossed so that it may come eventually.
I’m sure not-nazi Elon has everyone’s best interests at heart for going there, right? Right?..
Maybe he’s just looking for marketing data to improve his tanked tesla sales. Yeah, must be it.
I originally switched to Ecosia, loved it. Very identical to Chrome because, well, it’s chromium based. Still a food option, but I wanted to make a full swap.
So I reluctantly tried Vivaldi last week (with Ecosia as a search engine), because that’s 2 major changes to a browser this year, meaning migrating all data and setting stuff up, which is more bothersome than I have patience for under normal circumstances.
Yet, I must say I’m positively surprised by it. Loving Vivaldi so far, and I’m not even using all it has to offer.
