MODERATORS
Well except that they are continuing with developing it for their Webview browser which is the web browser based of chrome that's embedded in basically every app anyways.
Plus Apple has their Web Tokens which are not being fought against which means Google will be desperate to get in on the pie that Apple is getting away with even if it means waiting and coming up with a different name for it.
It's still coming. Web DRM and person specific tracking is just around the bend once we get exhausted and distracted enough.
Then I guess I won't see whatever websites decide to use it (until it's cracked). Oh well.
Does that mean you (and me) end up drowning in a pool of 90% AI dead internet comments while everyone who stayed on Reddit or Facebook can talk to their friends in their WEI tracked & profiled walled garden?
Shitty choice.
The only solution I can see it robust moderation tools on a platform like Lemmy.
AI still gets to read everything but at least individuals/communities/instances can be blocked for bad behaviour.
What altertatives do we have right now?
