That’s not an option. Sorry guys!

AI is not going to come op with a solution and he knows it.

Volatility, traceability and high TX fees come to mind. Also, who accepts Bitcoin?

Unrelated question, how does Piefed differ from Lemmy? Is it designed to exist alongside Lemmy, or is it a better alternative somehow?

Windows isn’t even that good. The OS is kind of a huge mess. It has two unfortunate advantages though: it’s the default on many devices, and (because of that) software availability is best. I wish it wasn’t the case.

Is this happening on Lemmy? I haven’t seen it

Good for some use cases. Only if the Signal Foundation stays in the current track and it doesn’t go south like with Mozilla.

For a privacy chat group with random people, maybe another app would be a bit better.

Unlikely

How to prevent those people from joining? I don’t think you can.

On the other hand, Reddit communities never got that terrible, right? Not all of them at least - it’s more that the platform turned to shit. Lemmy prevents that from happening. The concept of communities moderating themselves seems to work pretty well.

I don’t think it’s impossible. We should be wary, enshittification might find new ways to ruin even the fediverse. I don’t know how, and I’m not pessimistic. But we should not assume we’re safe from the phenomenon.

What really helps is that fediverse users are quite aware of the ideology behind federated social networks. I think, indeed, they won’t all stay on a server that is federated with Threads if it threatens the fedi network.

It’s part of the reason you don’t see the lemmy.world instance in the lemmy server browser.

On join-lemmy.org you mean? I didn’t know that, but that’s great to see. Lemmy.world has become pretty big.

Even if, for instance, Threads was widely allowed to federate with Mastodon servers?

Good correction, thanks

Right, then Signal might not be the best option. The NSA can easily track who’s using Signal, and possibly do some traffic correlation to reveal who’s talking to who.

But to state that there is no privacy on Signal at all is a bit of a stretch.

Depends, who do you want to shield what information from? Signal knows all of their users’ phone numbers. You can hide it from other Signal users. All depends on your threat model.

Honest question, are you still using Telegram after all the recent news following Durov’s arrest? Do you view the service differently?

I get your point. But we’d probably adjust if there’s less releases, I think. More choice might not be better when it comes to the planet and it’s natural resources. And we’re now at a point where phones barely change when compared to the year before.

If there’s a new iPhone every two years, you can still decide when the improvements justify upgrading for you.

This one is pretty uncommon, probably. He could’ve at least said something like “haha, what a coincidence”
