no no, that's not my job actually
It is an appeal for reddit to commit self-die

i like the choice algorithm for which posts are better than others more attractive, but that's about it, i dislike the UI, it has no API, it's not clear which instances are federated & i can't find my favorite lemmy communities there, i have no idea how to subscribe to shit, it's pretty cool for idle browsing for a few minutes while pooping but that's about it
We deserve human rights, democracy, freedom of speech, privacy. Since software is a huge part of our lives, Free Software should also be on that list.
never seen any proof of anyone deserving anything, including that
it wouldn’t cost the developer anything.
i can charge $1k or i can charge $0, if i can choose, why would i go with $0. i like money, it makes life easier.
Developers should have the responsibility of ensuring their users get the freedoms they deserve.
No one deserves anything
right to study and modify the program and distribute the original copy and the modifications
there is no such right in any code, legal or moral, that i've read in the past, i wonder what philosophical branch it is that sources this perspective
what’s stopping the developer from adding spyware into the app
nothing, but when they do that, that's when they're "being unethical". That's like saing it's unethical to have a kitchen knife in your kitchen because you COULD stab someone with it.
Why would anyone trust that the program does what’s in their best interest?
cuz they're dumb & uninformed. doesn't make it unethical tho, afaik.
because every instance behaves differently and as an explorer, i like testing how things work in other places, and the different "points of view". It's like when you're looking at a great statue (the Fediverse), but you can stand from any angle, below, behind, on top, in front of the face, and sure, you can see a ton of it, but the perspective is different on each instance.
And besides, every instance has different rules and features. If I wanna say controversial things, I pop into the free speech one. If I wanna watch some tiddies, I pop into the nsfw ones. If I just wanna look at memes and see what's going on, I pop on lemm.ee or kbin. If I just feel like doing some organic interaction, I pop onto sh.itjust.works and send a few comments & messages and have a good time.
I actually made a script that creates a card when you hover someone and it tells you their points. It seems to be bugged now, tells me my comment score is 14, when it was like 700 a few days ago lol. I have like 600 comments in my main account so i imagine it's a tiny bit more.

Yes. Mods should be able to troll. Admins too. Everything is permitted. This is not a corporation or a government. It is all dictatorships. These little autocracies are what make lemmy great. 😌
