this seems equivalent to banning a cybersecurity community because encryption get used by bad actors sometimes, so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned

using your analogy; it's like banning access to a piracy community because sometimes pirates use it..

pirates sometimes use meme communities too, but those aren't banned, and .world isn't completely defederated from db0, so that's not it.

so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned since information about staying anonymous online is "sharing the tools and techniques" that could be used in assisting criminal activity.

staying anonymous online is not a crime though. copyright infringement is a crime. that's why the analogy doesn't make sense.

scenario is: people are linking to law-breaking content in x-community. therefore, .world is choosing to ban said x-community that facilitates it, to prevent legal liability.

I understand the need to draw the line at actually sharing copyrighted content, but discussion of lockpicks or linking to sites that sell lockpicks is not equivalent to going around illegally picking locks, except it seems that is exactly the case when it comes to piracy but no other topics.

you're right, while lock picking can be illegal, it's not always illegal. however, copyright law violations are always illegal.

this law-breaking content happens to be copyright infringement/piracy material. another example a host might ban would be a community that is linking to CP, or a community that is linking to Identity theft sources, etc. even if it's just users posting links to this sort of content, I can understand a host not wanting to expose themselves to any sort of legal liability.

hmmm, not sure if chrome has this, but for Firefox I use the "Open in App" button, since I have "Open links in apps" set to Never.

Though I can replicate your issue, clicking a lemmy link in Discord brings me to Firefox, whereas clicking a YouTube link in Discord takes me directly to the YouTube app (technically the ReX app)

Android Settings -> Apps -> Sync -> Open by default

I mean, they're somewhat right, if they're talking about RS Classic -> RS2..

but yeah, he left before RS3

There's no spam filters that will protect you 100% from putting the same email address everywhere.

Well, you could curate your own whitelist, but that's not very practical for most use cases.

The people still choose reddit/Facebook/google. I don't know we're supposed to change that without actually removing people's freedom of choice.

In my opinion/experience, it's for a few reasons. People are marketed these centralized platforms, typically they're very/fairly simple to use, and those platforms already have an established userbase. Combined with the other factors, the userbase will keep growing, which also incentivizes Even more users to adopt the platform.

For most people, there's no incentive to use some small random forum. And these small random forums aren't typically run for profit, meaning people aren't paying for ads for their niche forum or hobby website because it's just a hobby, not a business run for profit. Whereas people will see countless ads for Instagram or TikTok. Typically, people who don't block ads, and use these sorts of media didn't care enough to bother looking for alternative platforms, they couldn't even be bothered to set up an adblocker.

Apparently you have to forward an email address to get the 1GB

most cryptos are pseudonymous. so, nobody knows who you are until you inevitably tie that pseudonym back to yourself somehow. like if you attempt to cash out, or use that pseudonym (wallet) to pay for something that could be linked to your real identity.

tbh it's better than their previous UI

Old Reddit > Current New Reddit > "Old" New Reddit

any benefits of this over Spicetify? does SpotX also support theming?

go to your library there is ads for updates for your games.

I have no problem with patch notes
