That first story is very worrying.

50TB of bandwidth a month?! How?!
Inquiring minds want to know.
It seems absurd. On the one hand, we have Wayland folks saying X is dead, there's no development, blah, blah. On the other hand, it reads like they've got a bunch of compute dedicated to CI and repo hosting. I can believe the bandwidth of literally every distro is configured to download source directly from FreeDesktop because of constant code merges. But if there's no development going on, why not just ask distros to torrent the code? Heck, even if there were daily changes, they could still push out torrents.
Bandwidth aside, what's all that CI compute doing with a stalled and dead project?
The social network that hides your mutuals worse than YouTube hides your subscribed content, and which explicitly and openly advertises first party bot accounts as a feature is what you consider the "best social network"?
What's the worst? Your actual friends and family?
That's not what Facebook is like at all.
Have you considered perhaps that you're simply more aligned with their (right-wing ranging to outright fascist) opinions?
Facebook as a company was literally doing stuff like censoring #democrats and started being openly hostile to LGBT people days ago. And you say they can deal with people who think differently? Lol
I am more aligned with their views indeed. But it doesn't change how FOSS networks lie about themselves and are very leftist. I guess Facebook and them are just opposite.
Idk about that but they're at least claiming to be removing censorship so let's see how it goes (not too well so far).
Hostile? Exaggerated in my opinion. I support letting anti-LGBT and other anti- people speak in a not toxic way. The problem is people who lose special benefits over others in cases like this always tend to exaggerate and say that they're threatened which is pretty ridiculous. If Facebook really is just banning LGBT members though, that is too much.
Not really but this is how FOSS networks (Revolt and Lemmy in particular) made me be so like I'm not sure who's at fault here and it's not really the topic anyways.
FOSS is essentially software socialism. It's not surprising many of the people who love it espouse those ideals in other aspects of life.
Yes you do. I can see your post history on the topic. You know they've been censoring opposing viewpoints.
Claiming to be doing that then verifiably censoring political persuasions they don't adhere to. Clearly following the Elon Musk school of being free speech absolutists.
Well at least you're aware of it.
Well facts don't really line up with your opinions, I guess. They were and are being hostile to LGBT people.
Ummm... How? Legitimately how is that possible? Being anti-LGBT is inherently being toxic. What does that even mean?
It's an impossible position. You cannot be anti-LGBT without being toxic in the same way you cannot jump into a pool of lava unscathed.
But you initially said they could?
Of course. You're not at fault. Nothing is your fault. It's those damn other people who made you this way.
I think there's no point in any further discussion with such stubbornness. I would like to use my right to prohibit interaction with me any further.
You lost on every single point made, then proudly silenced your opponent and strutted victoriously, while calling them stubborn... some people have no ability to self analyze, genuinely impressive display of willful ignorance
Perhaps you're right. There's no point talking to a hateful bigot for me either.
And for what it's worth, you don't need to tell me about your right to do that. You can either simply not reply, or you can block. You don't need my consent.
With all my disrespect, fuck off and stay on Facebook. Thank you!
