minds is fascist
trackers are bad (especially google ones). odysee doesn't get a pass just for being floss
odysee/lbry's privacy policy isn't that much better but at least it's clearer
odysee has many problems, ranging from technical inabilities to questionable moderation but privacy does seem to be pretty much figured out (they do collect unnecessary information but it all looks like anonymous useful analytics)
in conclusion, 2 trackers on the main page ain't that bad
Isn’t what Moxie doing against the license of the project
no. you can moderate your own signal server however you want, moxie own the signal.org server and doesn't allowed unofficial clients to use it
having said that, you could argue that it goes against the idea of the license and foss software in general
i can't speak for the lemmy's developers but rust is basically the perfect language for backend servers
-
it's incredibly fast
-
it's incredibly safe
-
there is clippy, a incredibly powerful tool to detect common mistakes
-
statically linked libraries (bad for normal applications but ideal for servers, it's why go does it)
-
incredibly powerful pattern matching
-
very safe and easy-to-use generics
-
sanitized macros
these are just a couple of things that came to mind. for most of rust's life it was used as a language to create backend servers and dynamically link libraries so it ended up being very good for those things
yes, also bad
