Why not both?

The person who runs it doesn't recommend Lemmy because of the political opinions of its main developers.

Kinda funny now given that Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.

Yeah, but pair it with the exact wording of how Stallman walked back the paedophilia comment:

Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically.

Fanfics are 100% copyright infringement, there's no fair use/dealings defence of them. There's just little point for corporations to go out and enforce their copyright, fanfic authors likely don't have much money and it'd be a PR nightmare. Obviously this equation changes when people start to profit of fan work, it's why AO3 doesn't allow direct links to donation pages.

Sure, but software that targets a moving platform like Emacs can often break. I'm commenting on how stable Emacs is, even past major releases (25->29 in this case).

God, I love emacs

Isn't Thunderbird completely self-managed? I don't think they have anything to do with MozCorp.

This assumes platforms win based on technical details, which they don't. Mastodon will probably 'win' (whatever that means) because of network effects and general culture.

Nostr has an optional built-in tipping functionality where you can leave tips for users whose content you like. You can tip a fraction of a penny or $100. And users can tip you. This has a few effects. For one, it incentivizes people to use nostr. Non-profit orgs, for example, can use it to fundraise.

But user have to be technically minded enough, and willing, to set up a crypto wallet to do this.

In mastodon, admins can read your DMs. If you DM somebody on another instance, that’s two instances that can read your DMs, and so can anybody who breaks into their server. In nostr, all DMs are encrypted by default and can only be read by the intended recipient.

E2E encryption is possible with AP. Besides, if what you're talking about needs to be unreadable to third parties, you should probably use something like Matrix or Signal, especially considering how bad Mastodon's DMs actually are.

Aren't you basically describing readthedocs.io?

If God did love us, he would have given me blindness after clicking on the image.

This meme would be so relatable if I had any friends.
