Thanks for DM tip, I didn't think about it, but I guess that explains the need for something like the matrix protocol. Only thing i've ever hosted myself was a simplex chat smtp/xftp server on a vps. I basically just closely followed a guide from simplifiedprivacy with a readymade script and already knew how to ssh into stuffs. Do you recommend hosting a one person instance strictly as an experiment to verify that nothings being tracked? Or would concentrating my lemmy/piefed use strictly through a self-hosted one person instance account help to ensure nothing but what I'm 'intentionally doing' is tracked? I'm looking to get sold on hosting, but I'm also not really in a spot to waste money on another vps just for fun.

Also I really need a good resource to finally stop confusing privacy/anonymity/other similar security concepts. Thank you greatly for the patience and help

Are we still crafting statues about Jeffery Epstein?

What are savings?
Do I need a nonnegative credit score to apply for one? Can I use chatgpt to apply for one?

I been on librewolf for years, can someone fill me in on what they're talking about here?

Thank you for the critical info--for tech-dummies like myself that still wish to use piefed in a most private/secure way, would it be better to use a non-default instance? Please advise on anything else that can be done as best practices here please

Everyone is fighting their own battles in their own way. If you work for ICE or some other heinous TLA, we absolutely need you to be a complaining impotent loser beyond any doubt.

They want us to oversimplify like this--Don't fall for these bonehead tactics. I know it feels good to antagonize and gas others up in avoidance of idleness, but don't forget this might be exactly the kind of inactivity they're hoping for. Be the resistance that is needed, and don't forget to get crafty with the form such resistance takes.

When the symbolic order fails, people say ‘no one cares’ — that absolute negation is false universality; the real task is to organize particular struggles that make this claim untenable.

I'm seeing great discussions around fediverse tools' level of privacy.
Can anyone speak to how different it is to trust meta/twitter/google in comparison to say the flagship piefed.social or some equivalent lemmy instance of best reputation? (I know this is more of a security Q, but yeah)

"There is great disorder under heaven, the situation is excellent."

The moment institutions fail is the moment to mobilize a new, collective ‘we’ that forces accountability. Don't give up just yet OP, it certainly looks bleak but

You strike me as a user who'd benefit greatly from minimizing tool counts--this is a lot of steps for what a small pocketbook and pen can accomplish.[Also very little can match the pen/paper combo's security levels]

With all that said, I know paper can't grab your attention on its own, for this reason I overlap with tuta calendar (Which should be a reasonable level of security and convenience imho).

When you using that many separate techs, it has to almost feel like the tools themselves require more attention and care than the work you need planned and structured.
