Hmmm, on the bright side, with lemmy going mainstream maybe some of this culture (including privacy and FOSS) becomes more and more openly discussed.

True. Even buying things on say the playstore, App store, steam or any platform really is a ticking time bomb. If the platform disappears or the companies running them have a change in management, there’s no guarantee.

At least with physical copies, our software is with us regardless of what happens to the companies behind them.

This! We all mourn at our own pace. Some people may still be at the anger stage.

Haven’t tried it yet but wouldn’t you say this would even out with more members coming in? Or is it the nature of the platform that encourages crypto?
