Das ging ja flott. "Assange in Großbritannien zu einem knappen Jahr Gefängnis verurteilt."

@TheGnuMaster and the worst thing is, instead of being open about what they use for all the services, they slap own product names onto it, and only ever so slightly mention small bits about the original thing.

@TheGnuMaster the model feels super sketchy too.
Like, if they would do something beneficial, they'd offer the services without hiding most of it behind a paywall.
Social and Chat are free, but they are so many buttons with "spend x money", they just want to grab your cash.

@TheGnuMaster I haven't really heard a lot of positive things about Brave and BAT recently
and in general, if your users stand behind you, any basic donation model will work to keep a service alive. Don't hand a product to people, share services with them and get them invested in the ecosystem.
That's how you'll get support from a sizable amount of people.
@piggo Its quite shocking really.
I hope that the Free Software Foundation will have something to say about this.
@piggo You're talking about Purism right?

so wait a second they took mastodon and removed all the features that made it somewhat better than e.g. twitter, and market that as a new service? are you ok?
@pixel what do you think of Brave and Basic Attention Token, or Steemit as possible ways for making money for Free Software Projects?
@pixel
Labelling these things with their Purism name is unethical, especially the way they are doing it.
@pixel I think that it can be challenging for Free Software projects to find a good business model that will pay.
I think that funding projects through online funding sites or using various crypto currency projects is better.
@Sirsquid@mastodon.social I am not a citizen of the United Kingdom.
(disclosure)
@Sirsquid@mastodon.social I didn't mean to suggest that.
Sorry, poor choice of words.
@pixel
At this point purism appears to be a bad actor in the disguise of a good one.
I am loosing faith in the project and the sincerity of it.
@808bd@social.privacytools.io hmm... Is QWANT running on Free Software? Is it decentralised?
It is good that there is another alternative to google.
We have to be very careful though to make sure that they are in fact serving us and not a bad actor in disguise.
@Sirsquid@mastodon.social
The leavers aren't all idiots.
There are racists and people have been lied to and there are those who didn't appreciate how the United Kingdom was being bullied.
Personally I believe that with the power of the people, the EU can and should be reformed.
It has served a purpose to make things fairer and more affordable collectively for Europeans, but is failing lots of people now.
@CSB There is also d.tube however that is not decentralised in the same way as the other two.
@CSB I don't believe so.
Try peertube or media goblin.

There is rationally nothing Facebook can do to restore any measure of trust in them, and a 180-degree turn makes their newfound "privacy" faith all the more unbelievable.
