Again, there is no trade-off. If you want to just plug your phone in and be tethered to a wall, you can still do that.

The NSA collects all kinds of information. That is an absolute pittance compared to the amount of data collected when it is required by law...
Like this is not that complicated.
Yes, it absolutely is, because the US government does not require companies by law to hand over any and all information they collect to them.
They can support both...Only 1 takes considerably more effort and with a tiny fraction of the userbase to sell it to.
Props to them if they can make it work where other much bigger apps have failed. I assume this will also fail.
That's incredibly naive.
It abso-fucking-lutely is.
Does this really need an explanation?

Non-replaceable batteries provide zero benefits.

Swappable batteries allow you to just carry extras instead of being tethered to a charger. I used to literally never plug my phone in. Just swap batteries one or twice a day.

It's the first component to die in most phones, and people can't be bothered or don't realize you can have them replaced, so they just throw them in the garbage. That's why they started doing it in the first place.
No, for the same reason I haven't been interested in a long time; no promises for software updates. My Zenphone 6 got 1 update.
...is Discord trying to do federation? I'm confused.
Someone is in charge of Revolt, doesn't matter if it's a company or someone else. Someone is in charge of the servers. What's stopping them from ultimately selling the company? Reddit didn't start out as a corporation. Nor did WhatsApp, but after creating a trusted userbase they were sold off to Facebook to be exploited for data.
IT people love to talk about how "easy" it is to create and run your own server, but this is simply not true and they just lack awareness.
No one needs to pay them. Not being treated like garbage is sufficient.
