Ah, OK.

Yunohost installs a whole OS - Debian 11 - so you’d be essentially be flattening the drive.

That was a bit halfhearted. You didn’t use the phrase ‘hive mind’ or anything.

OK, so you can login anonymously. Great.

The real question is; why would you want to, given that the dead bird site is a cesspool of extreme rightwing awfulness? What are you hoping to learn or take from being on there?

Their apps are E2EE.

Shit. Missed that, sorry.

Maybe give Seafile a try?

Open source, you can selfhost, has clients for Linux/Win/Mac and Android/iOS and best of all - encryption that actually works.

I have Conky on my desktop and do a curl to a known page on my server to monitor if a web service is up every 60 seconds. If it’s down, I swap to a blinking animated gif as an icon and play an alert sound.

Big fan of Gogs personally. Simple, light and a doddle to install.

I use WebCord on Desktop and Aliucord on Mobile.

Yep, I use Mull on my mobile. Supports various privacy related add-ons too.

Check the link in OP’s post.

Subscriber numbers mean little. Take a look at the trend for the posts per day and comments per day graphs. They’re far more accurate indicators of the level of engagement actual users are having with reddit.

I’ve just checked for 10 of the subs I used to subscribe to, 2 of which have over 30m subscribers - all of them have the same downward trend in terms of posts and comments. I’m not saying reddit is in trouble but less new content is being created and that which is is being talked about less, eventually that will take a toll.

Just because multiple companies are doing it doesn’t make it less shady. They’re literally selling you ‘rights’ to content that isn’t theirs to sell.

Privacy invasive or not, it’s not right what they’re doing and, in my opinion, speaks to their ethics as a company. That in turn leads me to mistrust choices they might make in the future, including regarding privacy.

I guess I am asking morally. I expect this sort of thing from Bing and Google but it surprised me to see a company that is privacy focused basically trampling over someone elses IP to the point they feel they can offer rights to someone elses content and make money from it.

Obviously, this was before I learned what sort of person Eich is. Now I’m not surprised. I guess we all have to decide if something goes against our own principles enough to use/not use something.

You don’t think there’s anything wrong with selling you the ‘rights’ to other people’s content?

Whoops - sorry, fixed it now.

It’s their Search API.

Yeah and I expect it from those companies. I guess I was naive enough to think Brave would be better than this.

But then I didn’t know about Eich’s homophobia, antivaxx beliefs and basic awfulness either (as mentioned in the link u/Xaeris mentions.)
