I may be misunderstanding

So I understand, if I created my own instance of Piefed, the original developers have backdoor access to manage my communities?

I thought anyone could create a Piefed instance, and it can be interacted with by both mbin and Lemmy?

He was making a joke of Keemstar’s extreme racism with the Fiverr thing. But it was memed by others and context was lost.

Wasn’t that nazi stuff debunked?

I hear you - there’s been some things I’ve had to give up as a result of degoogling, including access to multiple paid games and services.

It’s also what has stopped me completely deleting my Facebook account - I have VR purchases tied to it.

In the end I just have to keep reminding myself that there WILL be alternatives, and in the cases where there aren’t, I made do without these things once.
