Oh and the Terms & Conditions forbid you to LOOK AT THE CODE. Don't look at the Javascript ! It's forbidden !
Oh.. oh wait ! You are also not allowed to say bad things about Slyde.
Terms & Conditions are not even served on the same site, and they f*cking disabled copy-paste.
Foul smell, methinks.
No thanks, I will stick to decentralized, open tools and networks (Mobilizon, Mastodon, RSS et al.)
I know it happens that one encounters 99 annoyances in a row and then runs into #100 and the built-up frustration boils over. But it's important not to use a forum like this to discharge such a payload.
As for us being in the US, it's because that's where we live.
To speak to the centralized part, for me and my own use, that is something I want. I don't think that's what everyone wants but I do believe it's what the majority of people want. The problem is, the places that centralize that for us don't always do it with the best of ethics in mind. Maybe we can change that.
