I think that this is the best take on this topic

They are like kids

This app is an absolute banger! Keep up the great work♥️

Why?

How arent Microsoft engineers annoyed by this themselves?Do they even use the products that they make?

But that is a double-edged sword. What if, for example, mastodon.social doesn't defederate with Meta, but you defederate mastodon.social? Now you've just cut yourself off from a huge portion of the fediverse. Admins should defederate from Meta if their community wants to do that, but defederating from other instances that didn't do that is going a bit too far, in my opinion.

It is, but it's not likely as lots of them are in it only for the money.

It is not perfect, but its a good balance in terms of privacy and search results. If you have a high treath model consider making your own self hosted searx search engine ( while using tor if needed ) to further enhance your privacy

my dad barely understands how email works, do you think he even knows what all of these do lmao

Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect... ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.

We should strive to use/promote privacy-friendly and foss alternatives ( fediverse in general ) like Mastodon or Lemmy.

He is such a gigachad
