Where is the up-to-date version?

Yes that’s correct.

All has posts from all the communities the members on that instance subscribe to.

There are no other RCS clients, just Google Messages.

I’m fully aware, and disagree.
Someone else called it a Slippery Slope. That’s closer, but still not quite right.
It’s actually Reductio ad Absurdum.
Which is a useful thought exorcise when analyzing many ideas.

Is it?
Are you saying you would support bad people under the right circumstances?

It’s your idea.
All I did is assume all good people agree with you.

Do you think they’d stop being bad people if they couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

Do you feel better knowing they aren’t getting your money? Even at the cost of them ever doing anything good for anyone?

Is it harm reduction if all the bad people couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were living on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

I’m sure a few bad people make a living maintaining it, and all the roads you depend on everyday.

Bad people are everywhere, doing all sorts of jobs you appreciate.

It sounds like you’re arguing that bad people shouldn’t be paid to anything good.

Sometimes terrible people can do good things.
Those good things should be supported.
Judge a project on it own merits.

People still use the Autobahn.

Firefox regular does that. There’s a setting to clear history on close. Then it adds a quit button to the menu. You can pick how much is deleted. History, cookies and anything else.

That article was far more clear than their own. “Joining Forces” as they called it, could mean almost anything. But “Acquiring” Standard Notes to add to their services actually explains what’s happening.

If it follows the SimpleLogin acquisition as they implied, it’ll still be a separately branded product that’s added to a Proton Ultimate subscription. So that’s cool.

keeping the main repo full of abandonware isn’t a good idea and will hold fdroid back on being a good app store.

That’s the only thing you wrote that sounds like a reason. It’s really just a speculative assertion.

That’s not to say you’re wrong! I actually do agree with you. In the long term. When their are millions of abandoned apps, and the main repo is hundreds of megabytes, and take several min to update each time, that would be a real problem. Yes. Pruning would be advantageous; And quite trivial to implement. Today though? It’s hardly the most pressing issue to F-Droid adoption. But sure why not.

It’s not just a meta search. They do have their own index. And Brave is only one of a dozen-ish external index’s they also use.

New things can and should be built.
New things.

Taking something that’s currently good at what it does, and changing it to do something substantially new doesn’t work.

Google would have been better off, if they created a new service to emulate TickTock rather than shoehorn TickTock videos into YouTube.

They created Inbox to try to redesign email, rather than mess with how Gmail worked. That was absolutely the right way to do it.

That’s what your talking about here. Rather than adapt Lemmy to your new idea. Create an entirely new system expressly designed for it. That would really be making something new.

I don’t know why some people seem to frequently want something to be something else.
When one service tries to incorporate multiple (and very different) modes of interactions, it always suffers.

Lemmy isn’t a chat room. If you want a live discussion you go to Discord or Matrix. Lemmy isn’t that. It shouldn’t be that. I remember when the Lemmy feed would constantly update. Even when It was working properly, it was extremely annoying. Lets let Lemmy be Lemmy. And if you want to engage with people in a different way, go to a service that was designed for it. Specialization is a good thing.

I’m pretty sure all user data is public already.
PMs might be the only thing not everyone can see.

I wouldn’t put a timeline to it. Just a list of features, broad and specific. As time goes on, they can be marked as “in progress” or “included”. New things can be added over time, or made more specific. All without timetables. For now call it a wishlist.
