Also more ads and bloatware.

Are they really not? Distinct from what?

I do you think there are grounds for attacking Lemmy or an instance for hosting all/some of reddit’s user generated content?

I’ve been hoping that some good replacement comes along but they are all lacking significantly. Emacs is the best I’ve found but it’s annoying in many ways that have been fixed by newer alternatives.

Large files, terrible defaults, and elisp come to mind.

Why would the instances isolate? They don’t seem to have as much incentive to rent seek as big tech.

The category is FLOSS software, I find it more likely that OP could only think of protocols when making the examples.

Don’t forget the bloatware vendors that pay to be preinstalled.

I’m thinking of a hacky solution where we have llms create a knowledge base for scraped discord data. Could be useful.

I’m sorry my guy. i3 is very nice, never going back.
