Tell people to just talk to their therapists instead. That’s much more productive.
I’m just going to say it: 50% of foss projects wouldn’t exist if their devs could afford therapy
After installing an SSD and a couple of hours of clean-up, it was as fast as new. I guess with proper maintenance it can be good enough.
The reason people say Windows is “crap” isn’t the performance, it’s the ads.

No, you can’t. You can have a custom domain (“PDS” is the term they invented for this) but it still relies on bluesky’s servers.
Don’t let them distract with with the “whattabout matrix”. The Matrix Foundation is not a social media company, and furthermore it’s a nonprofit.
You are correct. The term is called “openwashing”. Now and then bluesky
employeescultists will come on Lemmy and mastodon and try to LARP that their for-profit company has our best interests in mind.

Absolutely I was not trying to take away from your point! Cory Doctorow actually recently wrote a good piece on Wikipedia that you reminded me of.
I agree with your overall point, but Wikipedia has a singular mission. Social settings can have wildy different missions from shitposting, to hobbies, study groups, to support groups, etc. There is no singular moderation ethos that can apply to all of them, that’s why decentralization is important in social media.
We want to algorithms to work for the people, not have people slaving for the algorithms.
If a grandmother had wheels would you consider her to be a wagon?
I agree with this! Each server can have radically different approaches to moderation depending on their goals and some instances will a much higher tolerance than others. “Community” puts the local first.
