        One where you can use any server and client you wish, as long as it implements the same freely-available spec. You can probably access the source code of the server and client you’re using.

        As with many things: the problem is not the technology itself, but the terms that capital owners demand we accept in order to use it.

        Not really. It’s just a fancy forum.

        Social network platforms have corporate controlled algorithms designed to maximize addiction. At the very least, you would need a “friend” system and who the fuck follows each other on here? When I was using reddit, one person followed me and it was a bot.

        As if the US government could understand this platform. It will be a shame to lose lemmy.world though
