    They’re trying to kill counterculture. Pixelfed is also banned at meta’s servers.

    I quit FB years ago because it’s such a garbage website. In the meantime IG has just gotten worse and worse and worse… Zuck would be king of enshittification if his websites weren’t shit from the start.

      As someone who originally fell for that trick, bless them. I’ve since learned how to do it right and became a dirty distrohopper.

      Either that or some Linux wizard cast the “every time you get your distro perfectly set up and stable you get bored and install another one” curse on me.

        I take the approach of settling into a distro then getting bored and messing with stuff I shouldn’t (at least on a daily driver) and reinstalling out of necessity, sometimes changing distros as well.

          Smashing something with a club and and sifting through the pieces to find out why it broke is the best way to learn. Its literally primal human instinct.

      It really comes down to what platforms they have with government backdoors & data sharing. If they know the government might not be able to access “encrypted” data then they’d rather suck the balls of government than create it anyway. Look at what happened to the Telegram CEO when he created the encryption & told the government to fuck off.

      You mean a desktop application? If so you can use the web version, or even better, use Ferdium. It lets you connect to various messaging services and integrates them like a native desktop app.

    Cue people spouting: “But muh marketplace!” “But muh friend from highschool I haven’t spoken to in a decade!” “But muh extended family I barely even know exist!”

    Any excuse to keep hitting that crack pipe.
