With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Hmmm, on the bright side, with lemmy going mainstream maybe some of this culture (including privacy and FOSS) becomes more and more openly discussed.

As much as I love Lemmy I don't see it going mainstream :/
It's too weird for the general user

Then why are you here "Generic User 1234"?

[–] torres@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry, I don't know if "general user" means what I think it means. English is not my first language.

What I meant was that most people who use the internet and social media on a regular basis aren't exactly nerdy/tech-savvy. So as soon as you start talking to them about federated instances and whatnot, they lose interest.
