  • Yeah this is incredible actually. This technology could become very popular with just a few simple changes to signup flows and user interfaces, and I see what’s needed, but on the other hand, I actually don’t want too many people to join us.

    It’s good with a bit of a barrier right now so we don’t have to deal with moderation issues caused by people who just want to cause conflicts.

    The database is the heavy part from what I hear. You could probably run an instance for yourself on the orange pi though.

    It’s not possible to transfer accounts to different instances. You have to register from scratch and follow communities from scratch. But it takes like 5 minutes once you are approved.










  • I don’t know, the article says you can’t get away from Google but it’s pretty easy to reduce your exposure.

    Use another email provider and another search engine and you have pretty much removed most of the sensitive data they have on you.

    If you enjoy Youtube, just install F-droid and then Newpipe to get a completely ad free experience on your phone as well. And it’s fast, has background playing with optional popup for video, higher resolution support etc. It’s excellent.



  • Someone needs to decide, yes, or your kind of confrontational personality will cause everyone to be annoyed.

    You literally ask questions without being open to seeing the other point of view here. I’m not going to use tech that makes it much harder for me to be productive just because it’s free. It’s similar to choose to live in a tent in the forest because you feel you don’t want to take a loan and support the banks.

    Just breathe a little bit and calm down. People here are very chill and you just come in here looking for a fight, judging by your responses.

    We don’t have to fight eachother online and people who disagree is sometimes a learning opportunity if you are open to it. They are not your enemy because they have different beliefs.
