A fundamental problem with Metaverse is that their parent companies (Facebook, Insta, and as far as Whatsapp it's a clear antitrust case) don't work People don't see posts from friends. The site spams you to death. They hijac

Also it's worth mentioning that GNU does have their own flavor of Firefox, if that's your cup of tea

Stop excusing it. It's a very real, very serious problem with Reddit. They're very much abusive on this and many other topics

Virtually all of the supposed misinformation turned out not to be that at all. Period, the end. All the 'experts' were wrong, all those that we banned off platforms (the actual experts) were right

There's a post on HN about someone being banned from Facebook because they violated (supposedly; who knows what violated even means) Whatsapp TOS from 3 years prior (possibly even before FB acquisition) Someone needs to tell Zuckerberg
