I feel the same. I prefer less crowded places, but I believe it would be better for us all if people left any kind of corporate or attention draining social media.

Please, tell me more

They tried to fix it, but gnome didn't allow to customize the comment

Thank you for the in depth explanation

Is there an actual way to stop it? I don't think so. At least, moving to the fediverse would stop any particular corporation from having the monopoly of it, prevent reddit-like abuse of power, would give users more power, among a few other things.

Can someone eli5 why emule stopped being used, if people liked it so much?

The way I see it, soulseek is focused on sharing smaller files and niche stuff to a small community. For large files, or things with a large audience, other tools would be better suited.

I use soulseek quite often. It's a good source of books and pdfs too.

You just have to talk and explain everything. Oh, wait...

Maybe we need a technical questions and answers siteon the fediverse!

you're right, the matter is more complicated than I thought...

they can perhaps create instances, pay malicious users, try some embrace, extend, extinguish approach or something, but they can't manipulate the code running on the instances we use, so they can't have direct power over it. Or am I missing something? I'm new to the fediverse.
