sigh... This generation of games will all suck because of Unreal Engine 5. I'm a patient gamer, I have plenty of unplayed games on my Steam library. I will not upgrade my video card because of this horrendous game engine.

I'm running Manjaro since 2022 and it has been running smoothly. I guess I'm foolish...
Think of Reddit as Cyberpunk or Mirror's Edge: a world controlled by corporations instead of governments. A corporation only seeks its own interests and those of its shareholders. In that world, you're nothing. There's no transparency, and you don't have any rights.
Lemmy instances on the other hand are run by the community and funded by donations. As such, the interests of the group as a whole prevail; they are not the interests of shareholders. To maintain cohesion, transparency is necessary, hence the modlog. Without transparency, cohesion and community cannot be maintained.
Reddit and Lemmy are two completely different worlds.
I'm against it. We elected people to represent us. Let the experts deal with it.
Case in point: Brexit. People were swayed to vote "yes" because they were told life would be great. Now, they regret their choice.
Why is this upvoted? It an ad for a company.
There could be multiple factors. For example, I have a Nextcloud instance that is fully managed by Hetzner, and I didn't bother to find out what database it uses...
Linux is a worldwide community project, and its source code is readily available. It's nonprofit. Proton is now a Swiss nonprofit organization without shareholders (https://proton.me/foundation). Nextcloud is an open-source project that you can host on your own server or in the cloud, which means you have total control over your information.
These are nonprofit projects that don't seek to monetize from you because you're not the product.
OnlyFans' purpose is to make money from your actions. The Fediverse is the antithesis of that. It's run by donations, not corporations. Therefore, it will not exist.
The only way to escape these companies is to prioritize your privacy. When you do so, you'll find replacements for the current capitalist platforms. For example, I switched from Windows to Linux and from Gmail to ProtonMail. I also switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, which offers multiple services like a calendar and tasks. This means that I switched my calendar from Google to Nextcloud, for example.
The Guardian is no exception when it comes to sensationalism and not presenting research findings objectively.
Onlyoffice is not sufficient for you?
