For their use case it makes sense.
They want heightened privacy features like making likes and follows private, which is something that is incompatible with the current state of activitypub.
You're telling me I brought this pitchfork all the way over here for nothing ?
You can go turn that garden bed over if ya want.
People probably should be more aware that what happens on here is mostly public and also why that's a better alternative to only giving data to private networks run by companies with trade secrets.
Giving data out to everyone prevents an outsized amount of leverage being given to single companies. Facebook doesn't have anywhere near as much kingmaking power if the same methods can be used by competitors or exposed and mitigated for outright.
Being open source, you also can know exactly what the fediverse is collecting and it's currently a fuck load less than the massive data stream companies like Facebook record.
Well, we are an evil and creepy lot, aren't we?
This will always be Morticia and Gomez Addams in my head.
Is it not?
There's been multiple actors in the parts over the years but these two were perfect I think.
For those of us that grew up with the TV show, no. John Astin literally named the character he played. Before the television show the characters didn't all have names.
The movies are fine, and there's nothing wrong if you enjoy them. But for myself John Astin and Carolyn Jones are the iconic couple. But then I was born over a decade before the movies. But just two years after the television shows 1975 Halloween special. So it may be a generational thing.
I don't really feel I need protecting from the Fediverse, more from the "regular" social networks
Right!?! I'm ok with anarchy, and a non-commercial, non-corporate social media. Not in any need of being protected, whatsoever.
To play devils advocate though, any "regular social media company" can tap into the fediverse and harvest all of the data and do whatever fucked up things they want to it. The fediverse doesn't protect you from them, it just puts you outside their algorithm control. Though even that is debatable because it is possible that a lot of posters on Lemmy may have first seen the content from algorithm-driven sources.
You're right, but I feel "regular social media companies" can do this on their own networks too, but pretend they don't.
Oh for sure! It is a lose-lose for the general population no matter what way you look at it.
@Blaze@feddit.nl they even made a cute little graphic including some niche softwares, so cute
Definitely the biggest threats around
@Blaze@feddit.nl oh I see
Basically they see the Fediverse as a data breach with no actual control over what happen to data the moment it gets to other servers (actually true) and especially if GAFAM gets involved. I mean, I get this they want to stay super-private. But I think that private social networks is a bit naive as an idea
If google actually integrates yt to the fediverse it might genuinely be the best thing they ever did, I genuinely hope they do cuz it's the one centralised social media I actively use and the only google service I use in general.
Plus it goes without saying it objectively has the largest amount of high quality content regularly posted by thousands of people.
It could be the thing that would let a lot of users fully degoogle/decouple from google's monopoly and bring a LOT more eyes onto the fediverse as a whole.
But why would Google do that?
I kind of see where they come from too, but the way they present it just seems strange
@Blaze aaaaaaaaaah..... La frase es como el forro, pero es una incompatibilidad de principios que se traduce en aspectos técnicos (y una critica fuerte al hecho que Meta y google buscan federar)
