I think car privacy isn't talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

You once told me that power posters like me are essentially de facto advertisers for an instance, so I’m keeping that in mind as I go through these instances. I would like to promote small instances through my posting, so eventually I’ll probably just starting posting from random instance accounts that I’ve already made

I indeed said that, but that shouldn't mean avoiding user blocks by using new accounts every week. I say week because PieFed has a symbol for accounts younger than one week, and I regularly see it next to alts you use

Also I know you replied, but still https://piefed.social/c/rant/p/1482182/i-am-fucking-tired-of-this-shitty-behavior

Because I post such a wide variety of content, simply posting is an effective way to discover what comms are and are not federated on an instance (short of writing a bot to do it ofc, but whats the fun in that?)

If you really want to do so, do it using testing communities, not real posts.

That’s true for at least one instance I’ve been on, but I honestly think that bot is not as reliable as it seems…

If it's not, report bugs on the Lemmy-federate github or !lemmyfederate@lemy.lol

They might want to do it under a different username. I have a feeling the devs don't like them very much.

My bad, I didn't know.
