How many have blocked discourse ? Better to be safe than sorry.

And Flipboard! Gotta make sure the Fediverse's garden walls are impenetrable!

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Yes Flipboard too. A reminder of why we must protect ourselves

Why block discourse?

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (3 children)

They are a private entity, we can't trust them.

Pretty much all Lemmy instances are a private entity... I don't know any that are run by a collective or in a democratic way.

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How many of them are a company ?

[–] stown@sedd.it 2 points 11 months ago

That's not what we were talking about.

And companies(at least corporations) are people. /S

They're open source. Apples and GMO oranges.

And the day they decide to impose their changes to us, what are we gonna do ? They have much more users than us. Do you need a reminder ?
