At this point, I’m not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

    Reddit taught me to never trust a silicon valley, centralized, proprietary service on the internet with my data and/or content

      Well you shouldn’t trust a public, decentralized, open source personally hosted service either.

      I don’t really know who’s hosting the Lemmy or other fediverse services I use and what access they have to the data that we post on there.

      Basically, you shouldn’t trust any online service with your data and your posts.

      It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

    Jokes on them I block them on the DNS level.

    I’m making a list, and I’ll be checking it thrice lol.

    Gonna ban all major sites and IPs. The Internet used to be about the small guy not the downtown.

    Evil bastards will continue to wring every bit of tracked engagement they can, now that they’re publicly traded. It’s the only way to satisfy capitalist markets. Woooooo!

    I’m glad I’m over here now.

    Started? Been having that issue for months now. It only works on VPN if you’re logged on.

    Certain VPN servers can go through it they haven’t implemented a block for it yet. AirVPN launched some new servers that worked for a bit, but Reddit blocked them a few weeks later.

    Ok, you do that, but people who don’t want to get cut off from 400 million people, how do we fuck up and breakthrough reddit’s anti anonimity defenses ?

    Killing reddit is on the table, but is there a more practical approach ?
