Good for Nix! Horrible article though lmao
The ad revenue part is true but what do you mean by not harvesting data? Mastodon definitely stores your boosts and likes, it just doesn't use that data to recommend more content. And the big difference is of course that it is stored on your instance's server, not a centralized location.
That's fair! Although I fear big money will always come up with some way to make a "better" UX, either simply because they can afford more/better devs, and often by compromising privacy, accessibility, etc.
embrace extend extinguish has worked in the past and it can work again
It's centralized. They allow federation using their own protocol.
But all you need to know is that it's a capitalist, for-profit undertaking.
it's quite different in the sense that you don't see any recommended content, just your follows and their boosts.
That mindset is the problem. A slightly better UX at the cost of freedom is a bad deal.
Oh woops! Thanks
what flag is that I am badly educated apparently
Firefox + uBlock Origin already does it too. No ads, and I can listen even when my phone is locked.
if you want a paid version similar to pihole with a bit more control and insights I recommend a smart DNS service like Control D.
bcrypt... with how many iterations? seems like an important detail
