    The buy Canadian Facebook group if you Facebook is full of great alternatives. Yes Facebook sucks the rigid cock of Satan, but it is very useful.

      You make facebook sound a lot cooler than it actually is.

      Why don’t we(lemmy) get to suck the rigid cock of Satan? This is metal as fuck.

      What’s your experience with running /e/OS/ with banking apps and things like that? I’ve been considering a degoogled Android phone like Fairphone

      Looks really nice!

      Though Lemmy.world is Dutch and I would suggest Qobuz as a better alternative to Spotify.

    This is misinformation. BlueSky is not a non profit. It is a public benefit company. The shareholders still expect profit.

      The shareholders expect growth and therefore increase in the value of their investment, public benefit companies are however under no obligation to their shareholders to pass on profits to shareholders in the form of dividends. It’s definitely not a non-profit either though, it’s a different structure.

        Plenty of “regular” for profit companies focus on increasing share value by investing profits back into the company instead of paying out dividends. That doesn’t really mean anything.

        Edit: I see what you mean based on what I said. They expect a return on investment is a better way to phrase it.

    There are so many issues with this, lots of wrong information, recommendations of stuff that’s bad and really shouldn’t be recommended and stuff that really should be there isn’t. Please don’t share it this further, it’s absolutely shit.

        It gets very obvious when it reccomends basically just volkswagens and volkswagen rebadges under cars.

          I’m not in it but I have been told it’s almost impossible to control the narrative as Muskrat does on Twitter

          It is held by a benefit corporation which means they have to, at least pretend, to bring some societal benefit

            While AT Protocol is sort of federated in a sense, no one really runs aggregators (which serves half of the role an instance does in ActivityPub) besides BlueSky themselves, so they can still control it if they wanted to.

            Also, “normal” for profit companies can also pretend to want to bring good to the world. It’s misinformation because public benefit companies are allowed to collect a profit (post says non profit).

            I still believe BlueSky is world’s better than Twitter! But it’s important to be honest about it.

    Anyone know if Qwant’s search engine is pretty capable? I would like to ditch Google, but it’s hard b/c it has the best search results

      I’ve been using it for about a year now and it’s quite capable. Picture search is good and the layout is quite nice.

      There have been some fringe topics (mostly programming related) where I needed to resort back to Google because the results were just not good enough. Also it has no Maps equivalent (anymore) which sucks when you want to search for places.
