Yep, only the necessary data is federated. The other relevant data that's logged (which is much less than what other social media platforms collect to be fair) could potentially be abused

I asked about that earlier today, and this is the explanation

It’s in Java, so there’s that overhead. But mostly, it’s less about “efficiency at all costs” and more about maintainability, being easier to contribute to / review, and having a less toxic development community. It’s got more developers working on it than Lemmy, and it’s in a language more people are familiar with (Java). It’s roadmap is also not constrained by the viewpoints of a small group of fairly, uh, controversial figures.

After the 1:1 compatibility phase is over, they’re both free to and planning to implement more features that the Lemmy devs either won’t or can’t be arsed to do.

I see, thanks for the info :)

I see

How would this compare efficiency wise, because my understanding was that Lemmys backend was very efficient and that was a big advantage

I might be missing this each time I check, but what is different about sublinks? Visually the demo looks the same

Is it a front-end that's easier to contribute to? Can instances come back to Lemmy if it doesn't work out?

That's really cool, thank you for sharing :)

Huh, so people DO get tired with apps nickel and diming every interaction

Want to filter by more than 2 things? Pay up. Want to send a message? Pay up. Want some privacy measures? Pay up. Also the features are scattered across multiple paid plans, with separate per-item costs for roses/likes/super-likes etc.

This isn't limited to Bumble either

Healthcare would be a good one because having access to good reliable data means better treatments, especially for populations that are underrepresented in current studies

Otherwise the other data could be used for policy development. Right now when a private entity collects a lot of data, they can release the data that helps them while hiding the data that harms them. Having that available publicly means that we can develop policy based on the most accurate picture of reality

I met one person a few months ago who also used signal primarily. It did feel weird adding someone normally. Usually when I add someone it's their first time with signal

Looks like this is just about them using AI for internal admin work?

Meanwhile the baddie is in distress, hopping from bathroom to bathroom

It's on my list of things to explore soon 😄
