    Good! Holy fucking shit is insane at the amount of predatory crap in software these days!

    It’s literally become a fucking science on how to manipulate people by wearing them the fuck down with pop-ups, sign-ups, notifications, and “related” content. Anything besides giving the user the opportunity to do what they fucking want to do in the first place.

    Honestly, Lemmy is a breath of fresh air. It’s also insane how straightforward and easy it is to use, especially considering the reputation the fediverse has for being “complicated.”

      Open source software seems to be the only way to be free of dark patterns. Why use products that are actively against you?

      The Reputation comes from people who have never tried it and are looking for an excuse why they don’t use it.
