Whew, good to know!

I just hope that FOSS doesn’t become a regular training ground for immoral capitalists to assault.

Well, there was an article I read elsewhere on Lemmy that said that FOSS is an enemy of capitalism by being a cheaper competitor, so capitalist dogs may try to attack FOSS developers’ resources and willpower to keep going so they can funnel all of us users over to their paid products.

Gosh, I hope these things don’t start targeting Lemmy instances.

Right, so the buck stops here with FOSS, finally!

… 🤞

It goes both ways: look at how much Lemmy usage has grown, and Lemmy’s existence is due to technology. We can protest with our dollars and time by leaving such products behind. Greed is independent of tech itself.

prevent communities from becoming echo chambers

I suspect this will still become a problem since we can subscribe to whichever communities we like and vice versa.

Trolls, bots, and scammers make them necessary at a minimum, and then the subliminal messaging from the cronies of politicians, etc. make them welcome. Bots are easier to make than ever before so you can’t compare the past with the present that easily. kbin.social died last year because of relentless spam bots posting garbage/malware links 100x/sec.

The picture’s off-center stance is bugging me lol.

I’ll be a Guinea pig and install it. It’s only 35kb; what could possibly go wrong?

You are right that Molly would lag behind in security updates by one version every time, but Molly is currently the only way to get Signal on tablets/other Droids in one account, effectively, as far as I know.
