It's opt-in in the same way the Co-pilot that one day just appeared installed on your computer was opt-in. /s
Its not like there isn't a backlash against Android either. There's a reason why projects like GrapheneOS exist.
No worries, I also started test driving Linux a month ago in preparation for when Windows 10 stops being officially supported.
Same on lemmy... Yet, here we are? I'd call that a win.
I'd rather have a bunch of smaller dudes hosting servers than yet another US multinational that will use their money to destroy democracies around the world.
You're right. The effort of writing 2 sentences to promote a platform some people may not have checked out in some time, if at all, was definitely wasted. I'll remember that next time.
Its good to know this will be optional in Europe. But at this point, do I even care?
2025 will be the year that Linux will see an influx of users, and it will all be due to Microsoft's anti-consumer practices.
Not sure if you were joking but Mastodon has substantially more users than Lemmy.
Averaging 1 million users/month versus Lemmy's 50k.
Don't replace X with Bluesky! Go to Mastodon and other Federalised platforms. That is the only way to escape corporate-sponsored fascism.
The internet is full of coomers and this community is no exception.
Everytime some news comes out that kids are being protected from accessing porn websites or social media (soft porn), this community goes into a frenzy. Like clockwork.
If all you do is browser the web, the learning curve is a solid 0. The issue is when you want to install specific programs.
It will take way longer for them to shut down all individual servers than it takes them to ask 1 company to shut down all posts.
Not to mention the dissent that arrises from one server being asked to shut down, how many others would suddenly start hosting anti-turkey regime stuff.
Its like piracy: you can't really shut it down. Even if Turkey would make accessing the fediverse illegal, people would still use VPNs.
