Nah, codeberg is just another company, this could happen there just as it did on gh, granted it’ll be less likely to happen there. They need to move to git platform controlled by them.
Just someone running away from Reddit.

I do hope this puts mozilla in a position where they have to improve firefox.
So far, yes, but it’s early days for it, and I suspect it will get harder and harder to keep up.
I’ll wait and see before I actually make a decision for real. But so far, not looking great.
I know, but that means it needs to keep its firefox source version up to date to keep up with security, and as its source diverges more and more from vanilla firefox, it’ll get harder to do that.
Plus they’ve already proved to be amateurs by enabling some things that really shouldn’t have been enabled: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927.
I’ve used it for a bit, and it’s really really nice. I just don’t know if I trust it to keep up with security updates, especially something so sensitive as a web browser.
Clearly
ICE engines
Internal combustion engine engines.
Nah, their question is why do so many people use it. And the answer is because it’s pretty good.
It’s pretty good, innit?
Straight to jail.
Yeah, I thought of these points too, my fear is that it won’t matter that it isn’t managed by meta and people will go along with whatever meta does.
Though to be completely fair, I have the exact same fear for other decentralised protocols, including nostr. Perhaps the only one I think is resilient to this situation is bitcoin, for better or for worse.
Sure Meta will probably extend AP for their own use but it’s not that they can simply decide that the new feature that they introduced and is at first only working on their platform is the standard from now.
Maybe not formally, but it might not matter. Looking at how google implemented XMPP, then slightly changed their implemetentaion until it was incompatible, and clients tried to keep up with changes, makes me fear meta will do something similar.
I wrote a long answer to this, but forgot to post and lost it :(. But here’s what I wanted to say:
I forgot about Threads, that’s indeed a big user base.
Just because the standard is managed by the W3C doesn’t mean they’ll do a good job of managing it, but it’s probably more positive than negative.
I don’t know enough about how the W3C is organised and accepts contributions, but wasn’t one of the concerns of many AP users when threads announced their AP integration, that threads would immediately become a big player and essentially EEE AP? Tbh, I still fear that.
I’m enjoying this conversation, it’s brought my hopes for AP a bit higher, I hope I’ve managed to convince you that nostr is something to keep an eye on.
I meant niche in terms of amount of users, not implementations.
I think having many clients is a good thing. The reddit API debacle was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, and got me to move away from centralised services.
Actually I think the better moderation structure that comes with AP is a plus point.
I can see how some people would prefer that, but Nostr also has a solution to this need. Not as good an experience as AP, if that’s specifically what you’re looking for, but nonetheless. If you want a curated, modded and filtered experience, you can just connect on to nostr nodes that filter heavily.
Biggest strength of AP in my eyes is that it’s a W3C standard.
I thought this when I came to AP at first too, but it’s been a W3C standard for a long time, and is still very niche.
Complexity to new users is definitely not better on nostr, just as confusing if not worse, currently. The reason I think nostr is on a better track than AP, is because I came to AP running from problems that I had on reddit, only to find the same problems on a smaller scale. Here’s what I can think of off the top of my head:
To be truly sovereign on AP, you gotta run your own instance, which is very impractical, and lacks nomadic identities. With nostr, you own your identity, because your identity is just a cryptographic key, which can be used anywhere, on any node.
To be clear, I think AP is a clear improvement over centralised services, thus why I still use it. I won’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I just think nostr is the better protocol to build decentralised services on top of.
I know, it’s just that you posted this in reference to the old steam colour scheme, but there’s no steam in the screenshot, would be cool if you had steam running with the throwback skin.
Where steam?
Fair, but my point still stands. The only way adguard is gonna have complete control, is by being sovereign.
