There's a line in the sand with security and transparency on one side and ease-of-use and convenience on the other.
I feel like most people don't really care about open source or federations..they just want an easy to access news/commenting platform.
It's a great examples of devs telling users what they want.
Closed source apps do not allow us to verify they do not actually steal our data or profile us. Liftoff for life
So many years wasted on reddit... only reason was that I liked infinity and it made my experience good...

I've found Thunder to be the best so far. But I'm holding out for Boost.
Can someone tell me what "FOSS" means? I get it in context, but what's the acronym? I'll look it up later if need be
It's an inconvenient truth for sure. I'm using sync right now because it's the best app experience on android at the moment if you don't need to top level post and because I used it with Reddit. This wasn't a big deal with Reddit imo, but using a closed source app to access an open source platform feels wrong.
