I was just hoping they would integrate it into Proton Bridge for linux. Essentially exposing the volume and let linux users decide how they want to handle the syncing. It seems like that would be relatively easy to implement and most linux users are tech savvy enough to setup syncing for how they want it.

Lets just take this to the extreme and see where shit lands.

Take the common leftist view. What happens to the country if we “got” our way. Everyone has healthcare coverage. Everyone with regard to their gender, orientation, race are treated equally and with dignity/respect. Everyone has a living wage. Everyone that wants to go to college can go to college without huge debt. Oh, we have to figure out how to pay for it.

Man that sounds fucking awful.

Now take it where the common right wing idiot that is consumed by the culture war wants to take it. Gay marriage outlawed. Transpeople wiped from the face of the earth. Fuck minorities. No minimum wage. Lower taxes for the 1%. Privatized social security, privatized medicare. No federal minimum wage. Gov’t restriction of free speech.

And yes, I say right wing dipshits want to restrict free speech because they are the morons removing books. To quote Rage Against the Machine, “They don’t have to burn the books, they just remove them” That is exactly what the right wing morons are doing.

The right getting their way leads to a dystopian shithole where only the wealthy have decent lives.

I would actually be ok arguing economics with a conservative. But the conservatives lost that fight when they embraced the religious right and decided to economically spend just as much as the liberals. Both parties are big spenders. So economics aren’t a talking point anymore. It is purely a culture war that the right started.

Do you eat bananas? They are carcinogen too. Hell water will kill you.

That is the problem with this type of non-sense. Everything is about dosing. Aspartame is not carcinogenic in the amounts humans consume.

The fediverse can’t ban you but at some point I guarantee there will be instances that dominate with the amount of users. When that happens, if you are banned, you will essentially be banned from the communities that primarily exist on those instances.

Sure you could even create your own instance of lemmy but you will be talking to yourself.

It is both. And I don’t think Lemmy/kbin can ever be truly successful without a large and diverse 3rd party app support. Everyone isn’t looking for the same type of interface. It is why an “official” reddit app will never truly be successful. I was always more into subreddits that were text content. Having the interface with giant pictures isn’t going to work for me. However, that is what my wife wanted.

As for censorship, that was always an issue with Reddit. But that doesn’t change on lemmy/fediverse. You can easily be banned by different instances. For instance, lemmy.ml doesn’t tolerate any criticism of the Chinese gov’t at all. When you decide to be on that server, you are agreeing to deal with that type of censorship.
