Lemmy's not a company shrug
Didn't one of the fediverse developers sign an NDA with Meta
I mean some of the fediverse devs work at Meta so surely right?
These aren't totally cut and dry because of the open nature of the software and network.
You can have Marxist Leninist build an app with support for donations and have someone turn around and interoperate with Meta using the protocol whos standard is hosted by a industry non profit.
Life's weird living in the free world shrug
You don't think companies pull data from lemmy? Do you use an app to access the website? Are you on Windows, android, or Apple OS?
It's not that hard to wrap your head around this.
I use a FOSS app and the website from a Linux desktop. What I am saying is the incentives for the Lemmy devs to work on Lemmy are ideological and funded by donations. The fact that companies can extend it isn't relevant to the intention of design of Lemmy.
On your FOSS phone right? Not Apple or Android?
Dude what's your point?
Like I normally love going down the Libre rabbit hole, I love learning about Libre boots, firmware, ISAs, Hardware, p2p user own and operated networks, etc but what does that have to with the idea that Lemmy isn't a for profit entity incentived to collect and sell user data?
Where are trying to go with this?
So why do you keep avoiding admitting you are carrying a GPS tracker and complaining about epic tracking game time lmao
It's pretty obvious what my point is if you aren't intentionally dense to cope with your reddit stance on free games.
Are pro both? Like do you think its good that most phones make money selling surveillance and Epic doing the same to give it competitive advantage over those that don't?
I'm against both personally, both are bad. I support GOG and l8bre games, I bought a librem 5, I support Tor, etc etc
Because I try to act on my values. All that said, what I replied to was trying whataboutism Lemmy in this discussion but they represent a another fucking way besides being fucking carion for companies like Epic, Google, and Apple to fucking be torn apart and devoured for.
