They openly post their finances, you can take a look: https://blog.mastodon.world/

The $1200 is for both mastodon.world and lemmy.world combined, but yeah. Most of it (80%) is going towards Hetzner, which is their cloud storage/hosting provider.

Ah, the classic “nothing to hide” response.

How did that quote go again? “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”? Even things you think may be innocuous can and will be used against you if given reason to.

I’m also on Librewolf, but most people are not all that tech-savvy, so basic Firefox is better for them just because it has auto-update.

Firefox user here. Vivaldi is the best chromium-based browser I’ve found, so I use it for sites that refuse to work with non-chromium browsers.

Librewolf watches in the distance.

Blue Blocker is a great extension for anyone still using Twitter.

That’s how the corporate-written laws in the USA handle it most likely. The EU actually has some amount of consumer protection. Burying it in a 100 page terms of service document doesn’t count as consent either.

Not an expert either, but from what I’ve seen, the EU actually has some amount of consumer protection. The USA on the other hand mostly lets big corporations get away with whatever they want, as long as they make some “donations”.

Back when it was unintrusive banner ads and the like? Sure, you might have had a point then. But now, with multiple unskippable 2 minute ads, before, during, and after the video? Fuck no.

Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc, are all redundant if you have ublock origin anyway. uBO blocks all the stuff they block, and having multiple blockers makes it more likely they’ll interfere with each other.

Saved you a click: New Zealand and the Philippines are the countries.

Well, yes, but: Even more money! If the numbers don’t go up, and by more than predicted, it’s considered a failure.

But have you considered how much money the weapons industry shareholders will make?

The only claim I recognize to the land currently being fought over is that of The Kingdom of Jerusalem as proclaimed in 1099 by Godfrey of Bouillon. The title has passed to the current rightful claimant of the Kingdom, His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain. I demand the restoration of the rightful Catholic monarch as the blessings of the One True Church is the only way to bring peace to the Holy Land. We’ve tried allowing the Hebrew and the Saracen to govern the territory and we’ve witnessed nothing but chaos as they squabble over their false doctrines and heresies, shedding their unholy blood on the land that rightfully belongs to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to be administered by his divinely appointed representative, Felipe VI.

their new homes

You mean the land that they illegally stole from Palestinian civilians, butchering anyone that refused to be made homeless?

Nah. They’re lax about loli. Which, as distasteful as it is, does not involve any harm to actual children. They do go after actual CSAM.

Don’t forget to use Ridge Shadow VPN when anonymously buying your Pepsi!

It was in AskLemmy iirc. Which, yeah, definitely the wrong place to post that.

Take a look at https://massgrave.dev/hwid.html. It’s linked on the site OP linked.

That’s the thing with being pro free speech - it means not censoring speech you hate.

Things quickly get complicated when the speech is (potentially) harmful.
