The issue becomes moderation at that point, not a big problem for a larger community, but small communities tend to struggle with moderation with just one hub of communications.
Also, the hardliners wouldn't be interested in co-existing, that's against their ethics generally.
I agree to an extent, but usability is not a sufficient condition for mass adoption. I think Lemmy for end users is just as usable as Reddit was, at least for me it is. But people don't want to leave their communities.
That's why personally I have a Discord still. There are too many communities I am an active part of on there to abandon Discord outright. Plus all of my friends and family are on there, and I've already approached some them about switching and they all have said the same thing I just did.
I wasn't ever super invested in Reddit, so it was easy for me to abandon it for Lemmy, and I vastly prefer the communities here. Discord though is a different story for now, unfortunately.
We all compromise somewhere, it's just a question of where the line is. Even Richard Stallman makes concessions for things like Firmware and hardware being closed source.
It's the timeless debate between accessibility and exclusivity. Do you want more people in your community by compromising some values? Or would you rather be a hardliner but never reach those people?
Most of the time you have to pick somewhere on that spectrum. It's a question of pragmatism and utilitarianism.
Does it do more good for lots of people to be slightly more privacy-aware, or is it better to have a very small portion of the population that are super privacy-aware?
You have to decide, and the debate rages on all the time.
Remember, privacy and anonymity are not the same thing. Signal is an app for private communications, not anonymous communications.
You can have privacy without anonymity, and you can have anonymity without privacy, and either/both of those can be secure or insecure.

He's hardcore anti-corpo and money-interests, so much that he refuses any sponserships and condemns them universally.
Good stuff, well researched, only downside is that he takes a long time to upload stuff.
Lol ty for the help!

Feel free to make it look like proper code lol, I don't know how to program :P
Louis Rossman has a video on it, you can search it on his channel, "Why I deleted GrapheneOS."
Basically, the lead dev for GrapheneOS started acting erratic and eventually left the project a few months ago handing it off to other devs.
I still use GrapheneOS happily and personally still trust it.
