Read our writeup here: https://u.fsf.org/3z8 @fsf I love FSF, but your toots are being repetead over and over again too many times. Please consider tooting less and thinking about new ideas to spread.  @fsf i don't understand this. Google cab "deprecate" whatever they want in their software. Nothing is forbidding "other" browser makers to implement any image formats they want in their browsers (instead of spending money , time and resources on unrelated stuff. Looking at you, Mozilla). @fsf This is a whole other problem that free software may not be able to solve without really good counter education. When many stuborn or predictable corporations relly on a piese of free software made by a malicious actor, exercising the supposed freedoms in many situations becomes prohibivly expensive or futile. Are you still stuck using proprietary software to talk to your coworkers and loved ones? Jitsi Meet respects your freedom and privacy, and FSF associate members can spread that freedom by using the new FSF instance: https://u.fsf.org/33h Join today: https://u.fsf.org/63  @fsf Given that Mastodon counts all links as a specific number of chars, how come you're using link shortening? I prefer to see where a link goes before I click on it. The global community of users should be directing how the web develops, not a single corporate monopoly.
