Maybe I’m confused here but if you’re seriously questioning whether you’d benefit from a smaller, Swedish based service over an American tech giant (unsure if this term applies to Discord in all honesty) - for starters you have the Swedish laws/consumer rights, GDPR. This company’s whole idea also seems to resolve around being ‘basically like Discord’ - but without all the aggressive data collection, fingerprinting users, storing messages, and profiting from users data. I also took a quick look at the ToS and PP and it seems pretty solid what their ideals seems to be, or what they want to advertise themselves as. But hey, I bet using a US tech giant company with its entire business model focused on making a profit from user data in the year 2026 is just as good for data privacy respecting laws and regulations as any other!
This is a level of anti establishment that I think goes beyond what I’m capable of resisting. Just honest people releasing their work for free, basically asking for donations for their efforts, trying to make a living out of their skills. 🤷♂️
Why are you talking about Lemmy and federation/decentralization?? What was that rambling about fluxer.lemmy.world? I’m not telling anyone to put that address in their browser address bar. Where did you get that from?
You are weird and make no sense what so ever. But since you seem to enjoy adding random images that has no context or relation to anything, I’d like to do that too. Here, on the house.

Scroll back up the 🧵, I am anti capitalist.
Does that mean you selfhost every service you use unless it’s run by a non-profit, or what?
when non-profits are ran by for-profits they are petite bourgeoisie so that’s also bad
no need to self host if there’s an instance from an unregistered fellow human though

You do you. 👍
welcome to decentralization 101.
how did you even make it to lemmy in the first place?
Uh. Did you notice I asked you a question? Are you good, buddy?
Did you noticed I am in a different instance than yours, and you don’t own lemmy.world?
Why are you talking about Lemmy and federation/decentralization?? What was that rambling about fluxer.lemmy.world? I’m not telling anyone to put that address in their browser address bar. Where did you get that from?
Correct. You requesting folks to rejoin another centralized LLC.
Can you edit that into a complete sentence? I’m not understanding you right now.
Is your previous point then that this is a private company, rather than FOSS?
decentralization. I even mocked the sweed’s lack of exploitation LLCs do.
unless you want to make a RandomHugs LLC.
