giving your browser, an environment which is meant to run untrusted code, direct control over your pcs hardware, especially to modify the firmware of your phone, sounds like asking for a lot of trouble.

@lunarequest goes into great detail, why we as society should avoid using WebUSB, especially the pivacy concerned individuals among us. See: https://nullrequest.com/posts/Thecaseagainstwebusb

Simple fix, just don’t join big instances, create new communities on small instances and self-host. If everybody does so, nobody has an interest into coercing users in a hermetic system, because they have far more to loose through possible defederation

This ! Also, I’m kind of disappointed how many of my peers just waited for the #reddit #blackout to pass, so they can go back to buissness as usual. Supringsingly, to me, there are a lot of people who enjoy corponet just fine.
