@thomasfuchs any suggestions for ethical alternatives? I've been with Spotify since 2010 and experienced major difficulty going back to buying individual albums. I don't even know where to find new music tbh, every artist seems to release on different niche services.

@realitythreek @hachyderm indeed their scope will be limited to what is posted, but I feel that's still enough to build adequate and monetizable usage profile. I want my content being federated to trustworthy instances.. however, meta, they have the engineers and motive to build the tools that will slice and dice the data firehose into whatever forms needed by their "customers". I'm not so worried about the ads next to my content, I'm worried about how that aggregated data could be used and sold

Lol, appreciate keeping an open stance but, there's zero chance Meta will resist farming the fediverse for data and profit. Sounds like federation is (thankfully) DOA just on this single principle

@mattly Jetbrains rider (or pycharm) surprisingly decent imo
