    Some people are really annoying about it or don’t see other good stuff, but the open-source movement is a serious force for freedom imo.

      I’m sure I’m not alone feeling like all these corporations slowly stole the whole internet from us like we were frogs in a boiling pot. And we let it happen because it was convenient, but now the facade is crumbling and we’re reaching late-stage.

      It’s high time to seek refuge on better shores, and while I just got here it feels like Lemmy and the Fediverse more generally might be it.

      Yeah, it’s extremely refreshing to find online spaces that are non-extractive again where one can exist without entities trying to sell you something. You start to realize the awful way that most tech treats its users. We’ve been getting boiled alive, slowly.
