  You don’t think companies pull data from lemmy? Do you use an app to access the website?

  It’s not that hard to wrap your head around this.

    I use a FOSS app and the website from a Linux desktop. What I am saying is the incentives for the Lemmy devs to work on Lemmy are ideological and funded by donations. The fact that companies can extend it isn’t relevant to the intention of design of Lemmy.

      On your FOSS phone right? Not Apple or Android?

        Dude what’s your point?

        Like I normally love going down the Libre rabbit hole, I love learning about Libre boots, firmware, ISAs, Hardware, p2p user own and operated networks, etc but what does that have to with the idea that Lemmy isn’t a for profit entity incentived to collect and sell user data?

        Where are trying to go with this?

  Didn’t one of the fediverse developers sign an NDA with Meta

    I mean some of the fediverse devs work at Meta so surely right?

    These aren’t totally cut and dry because of the open nature of the software and network.

    You can have Marxist Leninist build an app with support for donations and have someone turn around and interoperate with Meta using the protocol whos standard is hosted by a industry non profit.

    Life’s weird living in the free world shrug
