I think that this is the best take on this topic

They are like kids

This app is an absolute banger! Keep up the great work♥️

Why?

How arent Microsoft engineers annoyed by this themselves?Do they even use the products that they make?

But that is a double-edged sword. What if, for example, mastodon.social doesn’t defederate with Meta, but you defederate mastodon.social? Now you’ve just cut yourself off from a huge portion of the fediverse. Admins should defederate from Meta if their community wants to do that, but defederating from other instances that didn’t do that is going a bit too far, in my opinion.

It is, but it’s not likely as lots of them are in it only for the money.

I just hope that the decision on each instance will be made in the most democratic way possible.

Are other single board computers like OragnePI or Libre Computer any better?

Meta is a garabge company in so many ways. But I think that we need to allow these giant companies experience full extent of the fediverse. That will hopefully bring more pople on the fediverse, populorize is and make it more widely known / used which is a good thing. But we need to be cautious.

Its better in a lot of ways and I have fully switched, didnt look back since.

It can but given how media is ignoring it I dont see that happening in near future. Us user will have to shape the future of the fediverse and I think that is the best thing.

There is a difference if you want to make yourself look like everyone by design or if you use Tor, if you use Tor your real identity can not be traced back to you so there is no point in making yourself look like everyone else. But then again this is only for individuals that have high-threat models.

It is not perfect, but its a good balance in terms of privacy and search results. If you have a high treath model consider making your own self hosted searx search engine ( while using tor if needed ) to further enhance your privacy

man back in the day aniwatch.me was the best

my dad barely understands how email works, do you think he even knows what all of these do lmao

just send an email to reddit and use chatgpt to write a request for you. mention your account username / email and request deletion of personal data + posts (account in general) from reddit / twitter as perrmited under gdpr.

Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect… ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.

You know its bad when you are killing your own applications in a dumbest way possible

Or you can use duckduckgo that uses bings search index while protecting your privacy
