I'm not convinced it'll completely back down but I suspect there is a chance they'll lower the pricing structure to a more 'reasonable' amount.

If I put my tinfoil hat on I'd say this was the plan from the start;

• Announce something ludicrous
• Get the users a bit fired up
• Backtrack to what you'd always planned
• Play it all off like "See, we listen to you guys, aren't we good?"

Holy crap, yeah. The amount of repost bots I've been seeing lately has been insane. Also noticed a massive increase in porn bots in the comments, almost all exactly the same kind of thing

"Hey baby check me out https://linktr.ee/obviouspornscam"

Yeah, if a request was made under Article 17 of the GDPR they would have to remove it. They can only keep that data for specific and relevant reasons and I'd be hard-pressed to find a reason for them to keep my memes and shitposts.

That's usually reserved for things like previous employers to keep certain data for tax/finance reasons etc.

It's nae deid! Just nae cunt uses this so it's been dumped on the back burner.

Firefox for me.

I used to be a Chrome guy for ages but made the switch a few years back after I noticed Chrome was getting a bit bloated.

Yeah, just regular Firefox with a few add-ons like adblockers and script blockers and such. It's got a pretty seamless sync with Firefox on my mobile too.
