What cause are they furthering though?

No, they gave up their nukes for the promise of Ukrainian independence and it was seen as good deal because Moscow still held sole control over all launch sequences.

You have no idea what a Nazi is and your usage only waters down its meaning.

Is it really a racket though? Most artists are not tech geeks and desire cultivated feeds instead of .. none.

In short i just jumped into the whole Mastodon blocking drama and am somewhat disappointed to see it as childish as reddit's power mod drama. Accelerated by the fact that a Limit/Mute option exist just fine, i wonder why Block/Defederation is an option at all. It only moves power from the user to admins without anything in return. With just Mute, as far as i can tell, one still wouldn't have to look on certain instances, but could interact/whitelist certain individuals and we'd get rid of the multi account requirement overnight. So why isn't it that way?

Edit: For those annoyed by the same siloing issues, look into ATProto. Bluesky may be a big unknown, but the protocol itself looks a lot more promising in terms of user freedom.

Thanks. I knew they had some questionable default settings, but haven't heard (or read in, really) their encryption being entirely backdoored when needed, rather than the usual "well, better KGB than FBI can read it" conspiracy talk.

Can you name some shortcuts that Telegram uses, but Signal doesn't?

Have you tried contacting your government for this issue? From my experience public services are often open about Mastodon once they realize it's the same thing as Twitter, but accessible to everyone.

A great product is "too expensive", but also sold out to its capacities.
Sounds like free market is experiencing free market.

Which rolls back to the original comment. If their first party app is indeed that profitable where's the marketing and promotion towards potential buyers?

Michael probably can't say it, but there's a lot of people out there looking for "just" Gnome without it's original developers. For illustration you may simply google "gnome devs" and read the titles popping up. That said, lots of drama and not the most worthwhile usage of your time.

It's probably best to take this whole graph with a grain of salt. There's already some questionable relationships in it, like for every 4th Manjaro user coming in a Gentoo user, which I find hard to believe to say the list.
Second, it's hard to say Pop exclamation mark underscore OS is on the decline when the whole field just looks more diversified in general. Sure the hype around gaming distros from the lockdowns seems to have cooled down a bit, but there isn't any distro that just disappeared. On the contrary, it seems to have gotten just more.
As already mentioned, we can expect another hype again when Cosmic DE launches.
