Have you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?

A removable battery in the perfect surveillance device? There’s no such thing.

Do you think this is the end of your “journey”?

I’ve gotten used to Slackware in 25 years.

They are not cowards. They own and protect their property from destruction. Wouldn’t you say you would?

I bet NSFW fans won’t notice anything.

I’m trying to figure out what kind of blackout you’re talking about. I open up (oh my God, I feel like a heretic) Reddit and guess what? Hardly anything has changed on Reddit. My feed is still there. Yes, a grand total of five ever-fronting subs stopped working, ten more subs took a formal vote, and… it’s still the same. Every social network goes the way of monetizing content. I first joined Reddit in 2015, at the time it was an incomprehensible pseudo-social network with an awkward interface. It took almost 18 years before Reddit became usable. But blackout is still a long way off. While kbin/lemmy is consolidated by the thought of blackout, but people can’t stay in suspense for long.

Uncomfortable. There are two or three users in the instances, and all are silent. “Federalization” is dumb, for the chuckleheads of decentralization. The app and website are crude. Settings are not saved, blocked content hangs in the feed.

If you’re not aware, social media has a user agreement. It is a contract imposed on the user. And Reddit (oddly enough) acts within that agreement. Right now, Lemmy is stapled with the idea of “Reddit is down”(no), and then what happens?

I have no objection.

I used Boost and Apollo a couple of years ago. The feed wouldn’t update and there were minor glitches. The only thing I liked was the ability to download videos, but it was glitchy too. Maybe they are better now.

Lemmy is very similar to Matrix. By the way, there are channels in Matrix. There are communities on Telegram…
