Tumblr has a big problem with group think/hive mind, I guess because there are so many outcast HS students or communities founded by them made up of people who never grew out of that

So if you go against the grain or question whatever seemingly deep realization they just had they'll all come after you, there's really no point in trying to argue with them

hey fedi what's a good #manga website? I just want something with a very simple that has a wide variety

I can't find / remember sites I used to use ( a couple years ago ) search results are full of deceptive garbage

Oh I remember that thread, you make some fair points sure knowing the history of state financing of the internet/encryption there's no absolute pure stance.

Personally I'd be willing to overlook the massive technical failings of synapse/element were they on firm ethical ground. And if vice versa Matrix was as stable and well designed as the several XMPP based platforms out there I could overlook them getting/seeking cop money. But as it stands I think me and my friends should leave the buggy and unstable platform to the pigs and use something else.

There was some post where they defend working with cops because "FOSS isn't sustainable and they make some choice comments about users expecting everything for free

Yes, this seems like a different situation entirely, Matrix devs were actively seeking patronage from the police ( all while making weird rants against their own userbase) whereas in this case it appears the Duetzch Pigs selected #Conversations_im / XMPP based on their own assessment that it's a secure app/protocol to use.
