I'm assuming this is more about art assets. Art is not code and you shouldn't expect them for free. It's not a catch.

With ActivityPub specifically, I'm aware. Yet privacy-conscious people tend to congregate there as well, which was my point.

You'd think Fedi would be a good place to be active on from a privacy-conscious user-base perspective, but I think this is the second time they leave Fedi? Either way, I guess being on Reddit allows them to moderate all the naysayers away.

I'm guessing you're hoping people just read the bolded part or something? I don't understand how this is in any way connected to the article. You know full well Finland's whole involvement in WW2 with Nazis was a vengeful war on Russia to return lost lands with 0 interest in anything the axis dictators wanted.

I think the original question could be about the protocol. Why not use Matrix as the protocol for the project? No one is doing the work to bring a Matrix-based Discord alternative because they're a) on Discord b) creatin IRC face-lifts like Element c) refusing to quit IRC d) making projects with bespoke protocols like this one. It's incredibly frustrating.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

These plugins just never work quite as well as a browser made specifically for it, namely Qutebrowser. Trouble with Qutebrowser is that's it's Python and parsing a lot of links slows it down. Still the best browser out there for this use case though, as far as I know.

People in denial about Twitter's turn to a far-right platform, even when it's underlined with an entire rebrand. Twitter's gone and it's unlikely to come back.

I assume as the volume of links grow, the amount of work mods would have to do in vetting editorialized headlines grow as well as some people would like to inject in their own bias. You'd see this obnoxious editorialization from time to time in .ml in the past on articles concerning USA, for example.

I'd just add the relevant info in angle brackets after the original headline, personally.

I understand the general sentiment, but this whole "we're no longer a democracy" is at best bullshit and at worst a dangerous statement to repeat. There's a lot to fix in the US democracy (and somehow money involved isn't even the most critical issue right now), but simply stating it doesn't exist could empower some really destructive behaviour. Try living next to Russia for some perspective.

Follow small vtubers, don't go on X and don't go on YouTube. Save yourself from this stupidity.

Hype. Thanks for the continued maintenance and improvements.
