I don’t think anyone is claiming that Proton is perfect, but it certainly beats not being able to play most new-ish games. Which was the situation on Linux prior to Proton.

Regardless of implementation, that can never work. There’s always going to be platforms in counties without age verification and children will just use those instead.

The solution is parents actually fucking parenting their children because the government literally can’t solve the problem without going full China-mode.

It also makes Lemmy objectively less safe because it’s much less effective at limiting stalking and harassment. Especially since way blocks work on Lemmy isn’t clearly communicated to the user.

Do you fuckheads seriously think this would’ve worked if they just showed up in the streets, whined for a while, and went home?

No. Obviously you need sustained protests. The arson was entirely unnecessary, though.

You literally put a Soviet flag in your meme. You could’ve made your point without that, so yeah, don’t complain when people point out the obvious implication.

Why would anyone stress over the state of someone else’s phone battery in a screenshot? It’s usually barely worth being concerned about on your own phone unless you’re expecting an important call, worst case you’re disconnected for an hour or two. Hardly the end of the world.

So give me a Fediverse Twitter alternative that’s actually a drop-in replacement for Twitter the way Bluesky is and that is (and this is by far the most important factor) as easy to sign up for as Bluesky is. People aren’t leaving Twitter because it’s “corporate” or “enshittified”, they’re leaving because it’s the proverbial Nazi bar and they want to jump through as few hoops as possible to get where they want to go. Which is Twitter, minus the Nazi in charge and his followers.
