Another example of the all or nothing mentality.

Yesterday I was thinking about this, it is like authorities don't give a fuck about piracy until someone local complains about it. Years ago it was about the music but it turns out is wasn't the musicians who were complaining, it was the society in charge of collecting and distributing the money between the copyright holders (sgae), those were corrupt as fuck and after a couple scandals I haven't heard about them much.
I totally get the tech savvy feeling. There's usually too much information and options. With email it is easier to say "pick one at random, they are all the same". Lemmy seems very different at first, you see a big list of instances, each one with it's descriptions, some of them stating ideals and visions, it feels like a more important choice than what it is.
All this even before reading anything about defederation!
Most people needs that first choice made for them and figure thing out once inside.
Alternative in what sense?
