    What’s wrong with having a choice?

    I guess some us are old and prefer how things used to be. Before curated feeds, awards and emoji reactions. As I said in another comment: the old internet never went away, it was just forgotten. And now we care more about how it is presented rather than the content itself. I think we have gotten so used to being spoon fed content that it feels weird for some people to have a choice. A turd with glitter and a bowtie is still a turd at the end of the day.

    Lemmy and Matrix are great but have you tried hosting a Lemmy instance? It’s an absolute pain in the ass for everyone involved right now and Matrix has it’s own issues. They both work fine but they don’t “just work”.

    The development of old protocols or technology didn’t seize just because something new came along.

    For those who aren’t familiar with Swedish domestic politics: this is a good example of why you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet. The parent comment appears to be written in bad faith and borders disinformation.

    The Sweden Democrats/Sverigedemokraterna, which the poster is referring to as nazis, have always been advocaters for a more strict migration policy. Apart from that they are pretty much aligned in the middle.

    The actual nazi party (Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen) got 847 votes (0,01%) in the 2022 riksdag election and the poster knows this. Alternativ För Sverige/AfS, the closet nazis and where most people draw the actual line for the extreme right, got 16 646 votes (0,26%). Data from The Swedish Election Authority
