undefined> O allows you to be tracked across platforms. There is nothing that ties my Lemmy account to any other account I have somewhere else.
huh? How does it track across all platforms? Your SSO token is completely private, and the lemmy instance can do whatever it choses with it. How can any platform track what you are doing? lol.
I don't understand why it's against federation. It's no different than an instance offering sign-ins which are federated across all instances. In fact, it's worse, anyone could create an instance and create malicious users.
Except until that instance shuts down, goes down, etc. There goes all your posts, history, etc.
Why is that? It's not like there's any privacy when you sign up to any Lemmy instance.
Facebook quality memes. Linux is a shitshow when it comes to any UI standards, and god forbid, performance. Windows is a shitshow for management and automation. Any decent developer will make use of both.
Large centralized platforms are far far less likely to shut down than small, compartmentalized instances....
edit: Take Lemmy for instance, there's tons of new instances starting up, but many will likely end up shutting down, because the reality is, hosting a service is serious work. Most people don't actually know what's involved in hosting something like this.
