  • 1 . The extra steps to find a fedi instance and create a new account is usually too tedious for the post-first-think-later kind of guy.

    2 . The like/dislike function are present, but the lack of shitty function like karma, medals etc. don’t push the users in some kind of frenzy “contest” where copy-pasted crap or Ai-slop flood the platform.

    3 . The flow of new contents is too slow to encourage doom-scrolling types. The users who stays more of a week are usually people interested in discuss things and actually “read” other comments.



















  • Firefox is not the devil, but “ideologies aside”, the basic idea is:

    1. (Just like microsoft), They could have just decided to put it in one of the “many” variant of the product, name it FoxAI, let the users decide and call a day. Instead, they’ve chosen to force a very heavy component like that on the main version out of blue.

    2. Switched or not. Now, you’ll have ‘way’ more bloat on a browser, who should be focused on speed and performance.

    3. The whole thing about AI on free stuff is to get as much data as possible to train. You have to trust them to switch it off completely.
