At this point it's literally just easier to use any Linux distro

That's not the issue though, Photoshop doesn't have a native Linux version.

Using wine to run heavy productivity apps can be very troublesome and buggy

If someone going to get sued for it. It will be dbzer0.com and lemmy.ml due to said communities being part of the instances not LW.

Don't instances cache the content from federated instances? I can still view content from vlemmy.net from other instances, even though it's been permanently shut down.

From the OP:

Doesn't matter if they are hosted here or not. The way federation works is that threads on different instances are cached locally.

We have NO issues with the people at db0 - we are just looking out for ourselves in a 'better safe than sorry' fashion while we find out more. As mentioned in the OP we would like to unblock as soon as we know we can not get in any legal trouble.

Reddit has gotten into legal trouble numerous times regarding r/piracy, despite it not hosting any copyrighted material either.

Why is anyone complaining about instances not taking the same legal risks as a massive corporation? Just use another instance that fits your needs.

Lemmy doesn't crash, the .world server does. Just use a smaller instance like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee

I'm talking about the community. A large part of the community absolutely is about gate-keeping and hating on corporations... and now devs too apparently.

Fanatics and extremists exist regardless of religions. The latter just allows them to control people easier, and islam happens to be particularly good at that.

Of course, most 'religious' people have enough common sense to not follow them to the T. When the government is religious though, like islam encourages, you have a big problem

Lol, it's just on mac. No windows version or even plans for a Linux one. Not that I'd use another chromium fork.

Satire now but honestly doesn't seem very far off, with how willing people are to give up their privacy to megacorps

The only person that can crack denuvo right now.

Clearly fucked in the head but there's no other option.

And that's why people should spread out, as is the entire point of decentralization

From what I understand, they're likely trying to kill the fediverse by making it irrelevant (embrace, extend, extinguish) seeing how it's finally starting to grow, since they can't just buy it up this time like they've always done to competitors.

Even aside from that though, their algorithms designed to retain user attention by any means necessary are definitely going to seep into and poison the fediverse, at least indirectly, if they're federated.

Not to mention they could easily run ads as normal posts and boost them artificially; they are an ad company after all. Wouldn't put it past them.

Not federating with them means we don't have to deal with all that, and the fediverse can just continue to grow naturally as it's been doing.

Federating on the other hand means a very real risk of permanently halting the fediverse's growth in favour of corporations', like Google did to XMPP
