Trying to migrate off of stealth for Reddit so I can stop feeling guilty that I’m still technically using reddit

I like the word “republitard”

They definitely sell user data. There is no doubt in my mind about it. I think the idea that Signal can’t be used in the same way is down to the marketing, especially sense Discord is now trying to transition away from gaming https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/discord-is-pivoting-away-from-games-to-become-your-place-to-talk- Signal literally has the same features + more than discord. You dont have to reveal your phone number to strangers anymore. Usernames are there. 1k+ member group chats EXIST. (I’m in one for fight for the future), screen sharing exists in calls. Theres no reason to need discord unless thats just where everyone else is.
Genuine question who is still using snapchat. I deleted my account ages ago, not because I was on my privacy crusade like I am now, but because I noticed all of my friends stopped using it and everyone else on there was like 5 to 10 years my junior.
There are viable alteratives, but they aren’t making money and can’t advertise. Signal is a prime example, its an amazing platform with feature parity + more to Discord. Regardless of how well a platform is polished, you need users. People will use the shittiest platform ever if it has users (Twitter and Reddit come to mind).
The point was not the amount of money they are making, the point is that regardless you are being sold for profit. Any platform that is ad-driven should be avoided if you want any form of privacy.
Bait used to be believable. Any respectable family guy fan KNOWS her name is LOIS and not LOUIS. wth. Next thing ykno this fella is going to say hes never heard of fingernails4cash.com
Not if those friends care about having their data sold to advertisers.
Except companies have learned the meta, and now a bunch of search queries for Reddit are filled with ads on Reddit. (not to mention you have to use google to get their results now.)
Issue with this argument is that if you are found to have hacked their servers and stolen an API key you bet your ass theyre suing you for stealing their property. Their argument is “laws for thee not for me”. I agree with you if we are only talking about copyright law.
People shit on Ubuntu because its owned by a for profit corporation that hosts an app manager that isnt open source on the backend. Not sure why you heard hate for mint, its perfectly fine. As a beginner I’d definitely go for Mint. If you Genuinely want to try but feel like you need someone to hold your hand, I can add you on Matrix (or discord… ugh) if you want a person to reference.
I’m so lucky to live with my parents at 21 because if this were me I would genuinely choose to be homeless. I’ll rent a PO box to use as my address for work and just bum homeless shelters.
Anon has never purchased an Android TV and rooted it
I don’t use Reddit and like I said in the OP most of what I found on Lemmy relating to tech help were dead (no posts in over 10 months). Can’t use a VM due to lockdown browser.
Find me an Intel driver for a pre 9000 series laptop adaptor that supports wpa3 for windows and we can talk about “keeping it up to date” :)
I genuinely don’t understand why you would subscribe to a community about 4chan greentexts and not expect to see shocking language. Its like going to the beach and being upset that theres sand.
CalyxOS, lovely community and MicroG is FOSS (as opposed to Sandboxed Play Services being literally Google play services.)
you make one tired typo and youre the laughing stock of the lemmyverse 😔
