I'm hoping that ALL admins across the Fediverse will defederate from Meta. At least we get to have our own separate platform then.

Not to sound harsh or anything, but those of you saying that it's okay that all this data is public are insane. This completely goes against the entire philosophy of the Fediverse and FOSS in general. The reason we all are fleeing from Big Tech is because they collect so much data on us. At least, they keep it hidden from public view. This is a major issue in my opinion, and needs to be addressed ASAP before we can claim to have superior platforms on the Fediverse. Why can't this data at least be encrypted?

I don't see why this would hurt us. But even if it did, I would rather take the blow than associate with Big Tech again.

Fuck WinRAR. It's for normie NPCs. 7Zip is FOSS, and everybody should be using it instead.

Sure, but Signal is more of just a replacement for WhatsApp and the likes. It can't be compared to this type of platform really.

I haven't used streaming services in a couple of years. Now I'm just doing all piracy and watching it through my Jellyfin server

KeePass. Hands down the most secure one if you set it up right

Good. I don't want to see some teenagers doing some dumb dance or whatever is on normie platforms.

I feel like the EU needs to get on top of this

Well both browsers suck balls, so there's that.

As a European, I'm begging you, Elon. PLEASE remove X from Europe. Thank you!

No thanks. The Fediverse needs to remain anonymous, or at least users need to have the option not to provide any personal information.

Because then there would need to be a centralized entity to host all user accounts, and we don't want centralization 'round here

As long as Android remains open-source, someone will always provide an alternative version if Google restricts the "official" OS

Thank you everybody! I ended up getting Jerboa, since it's available on F-Droid. It seems to work pretty well. I'll be trying all your other suggestions out as well.

For real. Fuck Reddit. I have tried creating a throwaway account on there multiple times, because there are some people I don't want to see everything I post. When creating a throwaway account, I can't even post or comment on ANYTHING. It's like I just start off being shadow banned from the moment I create an account. I'm tired of Reddit's damn bullshit.

New from Reddit today. This is my first comment. Hello Lemmy!

Yes, it's awesome. We have a new community on here dedicated to KeePass. Come check it out at [!keepass@lemmy.world]

I use Open Street Maps. There are multiple clients available, but the one I use is called OSMAnd+. It pretty much works just as well as Google Maps in my experience.

Exactly. When data like that is public, I can guarantee you 10000% that Big Tech and governments are harvesting ALL of it as we speak. If this issue is not resolved and TRUE privacy is not implemented sooner rather than later, Lemmy will not succeed in the Fediverse, period.
