There’s a whole section on social media. That’s where they discuss Mastodon and W, among others
Comment on Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more
itsmistermoon@piefed.social 13 hours agoYeah, that was my main criticism of the article, it completely omitted social media.
Also, the author mentions Codeberg as the “developer” of Librewolf, so it seems is not the most tech savvy around.

I meant it barely touched the surface there when there’s plenty of alternatives, not mentioning it just mixes xitter with facebook, instead of mentioning alternatives for each “category” (ie: instagram / pixelfed, x / mastodon, facebook / friendica, etc.). If you read the articles it seems that there’s almost no choice here.

And social media is arguably the main thing. The network effects make it sticky but the US has been amazing at exporting it’s culture, social media amplifies that, and right now that culture is a bit fascisty with a hint of freedom stopping regulation of the rich and misleading. That said, but that lens, I’m not really sure Lemmy is a great alternative since it has a lot of people from the US already and I think it wouldn’t scale well (either because of lack of instances, burn out from moderators, or the problems migrating here)

Huh, I wouldn’t say, the article mentioned Codeberg as the developer of Librewolf.
It says:
To be honest this sentence doesn’t make any sense at all: Librewolf wasn’t developed, it is in active development. But it is true that it’s being developed on Codeberg, which still doesn’t convey a lot of information to the reader… I dont know if this article is very helpful at all…

It previously said “by” Codeberg, so the author either catched the error or read someone else pointing out the mistake.

It reads like AI slop in my opinion.
