He fights the good fight but I don’t like his videos very much because he’s very whiny and annoying.

Y’all would be surprised how many Facebook users there are outside of the west. In my home country of Vietnam Facebook is like Twitter+Reddit+more. It’s the most popular social media app. Everyone is on Facebook. The government posts news on Facebook, academic institutions post news on Facebook. Everyone posts official news on Facebook. Hobbyist discussion happens on Facebook. Buying and selling stuff - also Facebook. Wanna watch short form/long form content? Also Facebook. Facebook Messenger is also the second most popular form of communication. But it is to us what iMessage is to Americans. If you’re not on Messenger, fat chance nobody will talk to you. There’s Zalo which is technically in first place but Zalo is where the Vietnamese government gets to exert its control and it’s mostly to conduct business and talk to boomers. It’s that bad. Facebook is also very popular in other Asian countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand and the Phillipines, although I’m not sure to what degree.

It’s still a tiny echo chamber like it was a couple months ago when I cut back on Lemmy use. It can get pretty repetitive and boring to read. I came back to Reddit because the user base was larger and there were more perspectives I could hear from.

Honestly, at this point I kinda prefer to go on Reddit. I’m getting tired of all the tech/FOSS talk and there’s so much doom and gloom on here it just bums me out.

I don’t tell people about the Fediverse.

I will justify it in four words: It’s a Hades sequel.

Non-native. I got this one.

Heyyo, I’m from Hanoi!

Chiming in from a third world country. Just did a speedtest. On LTE right now i get 100 down 60 up, 500GB/month for 35$ a year =).

DNA and voice is voluntary at least for now, but they will do a mandatory iris scan. Doesn’t make it any better in my books. The fact that the government even wants this much biometric data is ridiculous.

That’s the Vietnamese government for you. Such blatant overreach and I’ve seen little discourse on this issue. So many people blindly trust it because national unity/national security/patriotism or whatever. If you dare to oppose the government, they’re taking you to the police station for questioning. There’s basically no press freedom and internet freedom is shit as well so where the hell are people going to get differing opinions? All the articles I’ve read are simply parroting the government. This shit would never fly in a democracy. The writing has been on the wall for a long time. I’ll be finding ways to get tf out of here

Master…please teach me your ways.

Too risky, I’ll pass :(

AntennaPod doesn’t have any in-app ads, but the podcasts you listen to will still have them.

You don’t need an antivirus. No one needs an antivirus. Common sense is good enough.
