I’d understand more if these communities were outright file sharing. I understand why that’s a liability. But discussion of the topic should be permitted, which said communities are exactly that. [email protected] explicitally forbids file sharing in their rules.

Let’s be real though, the admins handling of this wasn’t great. A more public discussion could have prevented backlash or allow these communities to address LW admin’s concerns.

This goes against the principles of the fediverse, I’d expect content censorship from the likes of reddit and twitter. This feels like a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that doesn’t exist on communities from completely different instances (and judging by the backlash this decision came out of nowhere without consultng the community). I seriously urge you to reconsider this decision.

Even though I take issue with the BBC, I hope they choose to stay on mastadon in the long term. A large organisation like the BBC on a federated platform is sure to spread word and hopefully convince more people to join the fediverse and see it a a feasible alternative to the current big tech landscape.

Gabe Newall said himself that piracy is never a price problem, but a service problem.

Psh, don’t even need that, just use a package manager

I’ve played around with a few browsers, and while Firefox is a better alternative to chrome, I’d more recommend a privacy hardened fork of firefox such as LibreWolf or GNU IceCat. I’ve also used mullvad browser which is kinda neat.

Some people are too comfortable using chrome for it’s extension library however, so if a mozilla-based browser doesn’t fulfill the extensions requirement, Brave browser is a good choice. I haven’t tried de-googled chromium, but I imagine it’s food for the reasons it says on the tin.
