Poor Axel Voss showed everyone how much of a media company whore he is just to get his biggest lifetime achievement taken down by the EU court because those filters could result in censorship (something that literally everybody told the supporters would happen)
Flatpak allows other repositories besides the official one, therefore having the ability to be decentralised, Snap doesn’t
Canonical (the company behind Snap and Ubuntu) is hated for some past decisions they made with Ubuntu
and more
(The only thing I really prefer Snap over Flatpak is that you need the whole package name in Flatpak (like com.valvesoftware.Steam for Steam) whilst you can simply use “steam” in snap but that’s due to decentralisation vs centralisation I guess and overall a minor problem for me)
Yes, I occasionally crosspost to Reddit (which is as far as my usage goes) and I’m using these watermarks as a subtle way of “showing flag”.
My thinking being, that if I’m posting to Reddit as well why not show them that we are still here because back when r/place happened, I tried to win some Redditors over to feature their Lemmy sibling communities and a lot of replies I got were, that we wouldn’t hold and eventually return back and some thought we’d already returned.
And since the Lemmy devs / server owners don’t actively advertise I think it’s on us to do so if we want to get some (hopefully sympathetic) users to give this a chance.
