  • Is there a change to an app in Google TOCs that can get folk to get app from F-droid?

    For example: “Free features for this app only available on play. New features and enhancements available (paid or) for free through f-droid.” Or if you cannot openly advertise in the app, “Visit our website to get enhanced features and updates” with clear documentation on how to install and permit f-droid and get app through there.

    That way, big app devs can create moves to f-droid, normalising it and chipping away at googles power. The more apps, the more legimate f-droid seems to normies.

    Ideally done as soon before switchover as possible. Even reach out to content creators.

    It moves from protest, to protest and solution.










  • I appreciate that point and always good to see what works. I don’t think they’re a bad thing per se. Everything is good in moderation. I think !Linuxmemes@lemmy.world and similar are better positioned for that than this community. I’m sure the privacy communities will always have that content to hook folk in. I guess I see our goal as when folk are hooked in, how can we help them continue that journey. We are a wee bit niche and specialised and many communities may struggle on Lemmy with that.

    The rules are against them but this has a lot of up votes so I’ll let it slide.

    I won’t lose sleep about one or two but don’t personally don’t want to see them dominate the community. There are enough “haha, meme” communities without turning this into one. This community is to help folk in their journey to de-googling which is a difficult and challenging process. It isn’t anti-google. Hating google is unproductive and solves nothing, but actively moving away from a company with so little respect for privacy is fantastic.

    I don’t see how this meme helps folk to transition away, so feels real low value to me.


  • You cannot.

    As your comfort zone grows smaller, anxiety grows for the things outside it.

    Part of CBT is approaching things that make you anxious, starting small and mild to change the physiological response to them. To disarm them.

    I’ve had issues that have made me anxious in the past, but I couldn’t function that way so I pushed to disarm it and now I am glad I did.

    Obviously, it’s always good to work with a professional on these sorts of things.
