Yeah, many people on Lemmy don't even pretend to care about the truth. Of course someone can always create an instance or community with higher sourcing standards.
Apple change the rules right under people's apps all the time, in much more scumbag ways, e.g. https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/16/22676706/apple-watch-swipe-keyboard-flicktype-lawsuit-kosta-eleftheriou
With end to end encryption, and requiring manual key transfer (no key sync), this would not be an issue.
One of their accounts, anyway...
Users don't care about federation. For them, there is no such category as "federated chat". There is only "chat".
XMPP never had significant market share among the instant messengers of the time (except maybe as custom solutions for work chat, but not as a consumer service).
2017, previous phase is now complete, XMPP is virtually unheard of.
So it returned back to a state where it would have been without Google anyway.
All the Jabber clients and services combined were never even close to rivaling ICQ, AIM, MSN, Skype, or whatever else ruled the IM space back then.
On Reddit, joke (usually bad joke, low effort meme or pop culture reference) comments were the absolute worst kind of spam that destroyed the readability of comment threads.
That sort of content belongs in its own space, not polluting places that are still worth reading.
That will never work as long as they're the only country in that situation. They would need to be mixed with athletes from other unrelated countries for this to make sense.
It's just like a car having an odometer. This would come in handy when buying second-hand, remember all the uncertainty about the condition of used GPUs?
(That is assuming they make the state user-readable though.)
It's not actually for safety - it's because they want their own software to be the only option.
It's the same move Apple uses whenever they block something in the name of "security".
Add a depth sensor?
