Yes they can. Next question.
heh yeah they already are!
Which Linux distribution do you use?
Not a Linux user. Just a Fedi user.
quick… get the mint OS mainline… we need to save him!
The best kind. Your kind will save us from the worst time of echo chamber.
That person lemmys hard
Yes Fediverse software can challenge the tech giants,
but we can and must expect them to fight against it as soon as it gets on their radar!They’ll likely will attempt to do so by:
- Censorship: Keeping it out of the feeds/search results of their users.
- Propaganda: Putting it in a bad spotlight (e.g. marking it as security risks on their own platforms).
- Direct Attacks: E.g. DDoS attacks and/or bot user networks spreading bad content on the Fediverse platforms.
We should already try to harness ourselves against the direct attacks.
And help with spreading Fediverse software through WOM (Word-Of-Mouth) marketing,
since the tech giants certainly will not help it spread themselves.The Fediverse is one of the few sparks of hope I have remaining lately,
let us ignite these sparks together into something bright!These are great, but let’s also add and be vigilant in watching for
Embrace, Extend, Extinguishtype attacks! Let’s always advocate against integrating with any of their services / instances.
I mean, they’re going to have to. There’s no other choice at this point
Sometimes, the point is not to challenge, but to provide better alternatives. At least I think so.
If the optimistdaily says no Imma be real sad
