I've been satisfied with IRC, that was social enough for me as an autistic kid yes. I've not had the luxury of developing a high standard of social interaction for my daily life.
I understand normal people are not willing to give up those unnecessary things like centralized and profiteered software. I think it's hilarious and laugh at them:) I enjoy the 3 or so friends I text regularly and the people I meet in real life. I understand most people aren't willing to live within those means, but that doesn't make it any less funny.
Yeah and i love laughing at those people cry about it going away like bye
I'll stick to my FLOSS stuff like I've been doing since 2017. Fuck off corpos
I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don't mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I'm talking to a right winger who's scared of anarchists and then just say "the socialist kind". It's a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever
.ml people are downvoting you for disrespecting the Chinese government, but people would easily install the Facebook or instagram or WhatsApp app if it had malware and had private api access even to microphone and camera data and sold all of that to advertisers to advertise on Facebook or instagram or TikTok or X. Unfortunately that's just not happening, so everyone is in the clear. Your data by any capitalist profiteering corporation in any country is safe, but Chinese ones are super safe.
You can say fuck you to America without supporting other capitalist or otherwise authoritarian nations, and instead support anti capitalism by using decentralized networks. I won't slurp on Winnie's hunny pot to say fuck you to Uncle Sam, but you do you lemmy.ml
One is open source and doesn't steal your data. The other may or may not, who knows?
Real anti capitalists learn Esperanto
oh bless your heart 😌
Apologies for the southern passive aggressiveness, but I believe you may not notice how much content is an ad
I know that advertisers love that TikTok knows when a user desires your product. I wonder why they can target you so well? All state sponsored social media, X and Meta and company as well as TikTok, should be avoided if you don't want corporations and capitalists and authoritarians having that much information about you. If you hate corporations trying to sell you things, maybe don't use a dopamine and social habit tracking app that's designed to sell ads to play on your fears
Id question the intelligence of anyone who used any app specifically because of a country associated with it when it's not an app about countries. Going to Chinese apps just because TikTok gets banned is kinda silly imo, but then again I don't use state-sponsored social media like TikTok or instagram etc
human-friendly as in you can live there in poverty or human-friendly as in it's great if you're middle class?
