mournfully flipping the counter back to “0” on the “it has been X days since a turbolib said something deeply homophobic” sign

summary of issues with Wikipedia written by a Lemmy developer https://ibis.wiki/article/Announcing_Ibis,[email protected]

you’re right to be sarcastic, better sit back and shut up and wait for the free market to fix it /s

no there is no (good) option that doesn’t involve you signing up for an account. but that seems like a weird requirement; you were willing to sign up for youtube?

the developers of composer are way ahead of you, every time I run composer install I get a blue and yellow “stand with ukraine”…

https://www.healthline.com/ - has a two-click “disable all”, but if you choose it you get a static site with 10 of their articles https://anon.healthline.com/

they could have made their shitty DM system end-to-end encrypt messages by default, instead of burying that feature[0] in chat settings

or, they could have used their MASSIVE wealth and lobbying power to directly fight the warrant in court (if there even was one, they have a long history of just requiring a form ostensibly signed by any cop to turn over private data)

or they could have just lied and said they couldn’t find the data

I don’t disagree that people shouldn’t trust Facebook but saying “they don’t have a choice” is absurd

correction: it was both! fedbook chat also supported xmpp at first, they never federated but you could at least use it with a jabber client. then when they had enough market share they killed it.

fun semi related fact is that whatsapp, at least a couple of years ago, was using modified ejabberd (ie an xmpp server) as the backend - so arguably they helped with EEE too.
