At this point, I'm not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.
Reddit taught me to never trust a silicon valley, centralized, proprietary service on the internet with my data and/or content

Well you shouldn't trust a public, decentralized, open source personally hosted service either.
I don't really know who's hosting the Lemmy or other fediverse services I use and what access they have to the data that we post on there.
Basically, you shouldn't trust any online service with your data and your posts.
Jokes on them I block them on the DNS level.
I'm making a list, and I'll be checking it thrice lol.
Gonna ban all major sites and IPs. The Internet used to be about the small guy not the downtown.
Your meter could use some work but it sings well enough
And I just discovered this some weeks ago. The "woah there, pardner!" is so cringeworthy.
Evil bastards will continue to wring every bit of tracked engagement they can, now that they're publicly traded. It's the only way to satisfy capitalist markets. Woooooo!
I'm glad I'm over here now.
Ok, you do that, but people who don't want to get cut off from 400 million people, how do we fuck up and breakthrough reddit's anti anonimity defenses ?
Killing reddit is on the table, but is there a more practical approach ?
