Such a chad move. Respect!
Thank you!
Yeah since the content is federated, it's no guarantee that anything is actually deleted. Someone could listen to everything that is posted on the entire lemmy network and copy it in real time to some other database.
So never use real names or give up personal details if you care about your privacy online.
No but I really appriciate you asking. :) I have a good job so paying the server expenses is not difficult. This is also the advantage of using distributed / federated technology - each server can be small and the costs are kept low.
If we gain a lot of users and need to upgrade, we can find some ways for you guys to contribute with some donations, but right now I'm just happy to see people using the instance and enjoying Lemmy.
I hope it can be a small step away from being treated like you are just a consumer on the internet.
Yes I very much agree. Being part of something that is not big tech is really inspiring I think. It shows that we don't need these megacorps to allow us to talk to eachother through their services.
I don't use Google anymore except for Google maps in my car. :) I guess they can spy on where I'm driving. But no search history.
Thanks! Yeah I understand, will check his docs later then and change our settings accordingly.
Thank you. :)
Ah really? Yeah that's not good. One obvious way would be enough! :)
I mean yeah, all these big tech companies are trying to make their products feel faster, because that's the only space they can compete. When it comes to privacy, they all lose.
I noticed that too, being a Firefox Linux user. I guess the developer either doesn't care or doesn't know. You can try to open an issue on his github page and see what he says.
It worked fine to mention me the way you did. :)
Well, Google has been caught trying to make their sites slower / malfunctioning on Firefox. Usually they get away with it by saying it's a mistake.

It's a sign of the times that this is upvoted so much. When I was growing up, this was called normal behavior and was boring and nobody talked about it.
