Interest rates? Reddit/Twitter/YouTube can’t just exist perpetually being unprofitable now, they have to actually have a pathway to revenue, since Venture Capitalists won’t just throw money at a hundred different projects, hoping one is successful…

Walter…

I forget the legal term, but it’s because they are commenting on something. So they’re allowed to take someone else’s content, add very little to it, and still host it on their channel.

I don’t know what I expected…

If I’ve gone to the trouble of undressing, turning on the fan, etc, then I’m gonna actually wash everywhere, even if it’s quick. Otherwise, it’s basically just a rinse, which seems pointless.

I mean, they might, at some point. But at the moment, the entire fediverse is still much smaller than Reddit, so there’s currently less incentive…

Also, it’s certainly not as easy as you make it sound to “just recode rif to point at lemmy”! If it was, one of us would have already done it…

He’s rich AF. The laws don’t apply to him!

Where can you trade in your phone?

Of course you’re allowed your opinion, but what exactly are you referring to by “more garbage”? Are you sure you’re not talking about bloatware installed by phone/carrier companies that’s completely separate from the actual operating system? Also, just like PC operating systems/there are OSes designed to be extremely lightweight, with low system requirements.

Security-wise, using any older OS is a terrible idea, IMO. As long as any personal information will ever pass through that phone, that is. Even if someone discovered a way to remotely hack your phone, eavesdrop on all your interactions, and steal your information, it wouldn’t be patched, even if the vulnerabilities were published. These old OSes literally aren’t supported anymore.

With that said, I wish you good luck in what you’re searching for…
