The thing most people get wrong is privacy friendly =! private. If you say something publicly (on the internet) you can assume it will stay for ever, if not directly then via some sort of archive. The privacy part of Lemmy/Mastodon is them not collecting data on what you look at to sell it. If you want something private then don’t use Social Media, because what you say publicly will stay public.

SocCenter sounds like sock center, your application of choice for everything socks

Yes

It just works

Security updates and general support. That’s basically it

If you search DuckDuckGo: What’s my IP it shows it directly in the search

Mojeek has pretty bad results. I’d only use it to avoid censorship of results

SearXNG has maximum privacy and results, but it’s a bit too complicated for the average person. DuckDuckGo has worse results than google because of Bing base, Startpage is similar to DuckDuckGo, but it has as good results as google. Brave search has good results and is not reliant on other search engines.

I think the issue people have is that threads is way bigger than all Mastodon instances and that they could having control over Mastodon because of the amount of content coming from threads vs the actual Mastodon instances

No, but there are no apps and iOS is locked down

I find the bot very useful when I’m on a device without Newspipe or whatever like an IPhone. I know it’s piped bot, but could it also provide a invidious link as sometimes I run into a speed/bug problem with piped (probably because web view sucks, if I open a link in a proper browser the bugs are gone)

I know, and I use that. But on a IOS device I haven’t found a good way to do this

The OS part is open source, the Steam part isn’t. This is also true for Chimera OS and similar distros

I think they can’t even sell the cyber truck in Europe

-Privacy friendly sites (no google, ddg/searxng and stuff) -VPN (Proton is private with a free tier, Mullvad for maximum privacy) -Fingerprint blocking in browser (Brave has it too standard, put it on aggressive)

To bad it doesn’t stay that way

What about GPL?
