As [I always said](https://qoto.org/@tripu/105196744728247284):
A proprietary implementation of #E2EE? Distrust by default!

Lock-in and network effects are A Thing.
Much of that exists on the advertising side. Alternatives are starved for funding.
@Dice 7 was probably their all-time best, but 8.1 was still tolerable imo. Can't say the same of later versions.

If you want to help spread the word about the Fediverse, try politely asking your favourite sites, organisations or projects what their Fediverse/Mastodon/PixelFed etc address is.
Obviously not everyone has the time or the spoons to maintain social media accounts, but just casually asking for an address will indirectly let them know the Fediverse exists.
The more people that ask them, the more likely they are to find out more about the Fediverse and join

"How ‘Engagement’ makes you vulnerable to manipulation and misinformation on Social Media"
@trinsec But that's the boring (correct) answer.
I think @axxss means back wings.You'd need new muscles for the new limbs. It's hard to imagine using those muscles because you don't have them. It's kinda like a congenitally blind person trying to imagine what it's like to see.
But I think the real question is how the bones would connect if the wings are on your back. Do they come directly off the spine? Or the ribcage? Maybe shoulder blades?
@worldsendless And `null >= 0 || null <= 0` evaluates to true. #javascript_irl

Best say, "search engine." It's been 7 years since Google was my engine of choice, since I prefer tools I can use more than they use me. @DuckDuckGo

@worldsendless `filter` and `reduce` are handy, too.

This is a great dive into how Google botched messaging for 15 years, and the table of contents BY ITSELF is a truly epic burn https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/a-decade-and-a-half-of-instability-the-history-of-google-messaging-apps/

Sorry for the redundant toot. For some reason "delete and re-draft" didn't work correctly and now "remove" isn't working either...
@TheFuzzStone@fosstodon.org If privacy-friendly ads are an option for you, maybe look at https://www.ethicalads.io/
@TheFuzzStone@fosstodon.org https://www.ethicalads.io/ may be worth a look.
