Not necessarily, it all depends on the software license, people don't usually care about who funds their software, ( even if they're funding it themselves with their data ), plus If we're talking about selling points, saying that you can control your online presence is a much successful sell than saying it's not VC funded, like I never used that argument when I try to convince my friends to hop on Mastodon
Edit: but I'm not saying it's not a valid argument, it's very valid
it is the MAIN selling point of the fediverse.
Debatable, I would say it's the ability to selfhost and not be under the mercy of "the platform" or the admin's subjective morals, you can also not federate and make the place your own

This is going to be good
The curly hair, the silver chain, the Bjj... appears more on camera with his wife and daughter.. going to podcasts.. Etc...
They're trying really hard to humanize him, but we all can see through the lies..
There are, but I'm not linked to some sort of an application that will ( it's not a matter of if ) be exploited by a malicious third party or even the first party ( the government ), good luck hacking my paper passport
Today’s proposal to digitalise passports and identity cards paves the way for a more seamless and secure travel experience,” Věra Jourová, the Commission’s Vice-President for values and transparency, said in a statement.
we know what happens when someone says the word "secure" ... ahhhaaam..
remember, someone a person or a government or a cyber terrorist group will track these border checks..
and the app itself won't be so transparent as your Lemmy client, I think I'll stick to paper passport
l freaking love that this thing exists, the summary feature is some next level genius
France wanted a backdoor.. they got it, and Telegram was never trustworthy..

AFAIK he's reliable when it comes to facts
he does have some facts, he only shares the ones that suites his narrative, what kind of journalism is that?! journalism is about following the truth no matter where it goes.. but he doesn't do that, he just misquotes people and say : "see, they said that, what awful people"
for example, in a recent video he made about the EFF he said that they support kids looking at porn, but off course they never said that, they said they're against ID'ing people who watch porn, because that's a serious threat to online anonymity..
Also in a recent video about the EFF he literally made statements they never made, it was so obvious that one of his loyal conservative fans called him out on it
surprised he didn't shadowban this comment, quot
............. My default position is that any software-based organization is going to be run by libtards, but your accusations simply don't line up with the articles. "If you have the wrong politics, you should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, that's their repeated stance they've stated over and over". Links please "If you're a Republican ... and happened to be standing outdoors on that day, you should be in jail. That's the EFF's stance." Again, links please"
to Lunduke as long as he's getting push back from the left leaning individuals in these groups, then he must be on the right path, that's how bias works not truth
It's very promising, but I find it confusing
