“attracting” companies like Intel that are on the BDS boycott list is not really a good look for Linux.
It’s all worth it if it means having this image grace the Fediverse.
This is what it redirects to if it seems safer: https://šime.eu/3
If you are posting on walled-garden big tech site like Reddit, Instagram, Twitter / X, the site and therefore the company certainly owns your content and all the metadata attributed to it. You’re the product. This is why most of us are here on the Fediverse where things are different. Maybe if it’s your personal photo you took than you can make a copyright claim to some degree and download your data tediously but once it’s on their network it’s generally theirs to do as they please, whether that be sell to Google or any other advertiser or use on in-house advertising. Often without proper informed consent and not always legally. It’s definitely a scam, I agree. Hopefully this exposes it more and brings more people to places on the Fediverse where there’s no owner/seller/buyer of your data or anything else you contributed.
So it’s user generated content that is a product for Reddit to sell, like most big tech companies do, as I said.
Welcome!
It’s content that Reddit users generated which apparently is theirs to sell.
Thanks. They’ve referred to themselves as a fork of Signal but maybe a bit of an oversimplification
I have Session. Given that it’s a fork of Signal and more anonymous I’m inclined to trust it from a privacy standpoint but can’t say I have the knowledge to really critique it’s tech. People aren’t really on there yet, at least nobody I know, so I don’t have much use for it yet but I would if it catches on a bit more at some point.
“Betrayed by this town / Let’s burn it all down “ might be the most relevant chorus of today’s music. It’ll be stuck in my head all night and would fit right in at most protests
There was never any lag in service. I’m on that instance. I believe the person was raided due to their activism and had a backup of some data but not the actual server. They made an announcement and told people to change their passwords. Many lost a degree of trust but are being as transparent as possible with members. https://kolektiva.social/@admin/110637031574056150
I’m so confused. I thought I was going to read about how awful the new Meta app is but it suddenly turned into a review of the 80s docu-horror film Threads about a fictional nuclear bomb dropping in England
