Fingerprinting resistance is either too strict or none at all

Cookies are removed when the browser is closed, and iirc history isn’t saved by default. It just makes it a pain for regular users

This: fingerprinting resistance is either too strict or none at all

They’re too strict, unless you have one that’s usable by default?

Shows uninteresting posts / trash posts containing a few words or so

And also mainly shows posts from bigger communities. Smaller communities tend to have much less posts per day/per month, so seeing one is really rare

I'm sure they do, but I want them. It doesn’t have to be dumb content. It can make you discover and learn things while being addicting.

All for it, except maybe for it to run locally. An instance running it will be faster as it already has all posts and comments stored.

People say algorithms hook you and make you dependent: they show you the stuff you want, so you stay for longer. If I didn’t want to see stuff I want, I wouldn’t go to Lemmy…

No algorithm makes social networks so annoying. Lemmy is so much annoying because of this. I always see the same stuff, aka US news and some shitposts, the usual upvoted and trending stuff

There’s no discovery algorithm and no way to see posts from smaller subscribed communities easily. Each sorting method returns non-interesting posts.

iirc Signal also deletes messages if not delivered in 30 days or so

That’s funny, went from a pro privacy email host to Notion which likes to collect data from you 😵

Tested porkbun and namecheap. Namecheap has a nice and reactive support from my experience. Porkbun also helped me quickly.

 

I believe LibreWolf's defaults are too strict and slow down adoption. Most options are either : all or nothing. No in-between.

Sadly, I believe the default settings are too strict and will slow down adoption by the mass, which would in term bring a better anonymity set.

It's not a great alternative to Firefox because LibreWolf is just not usable for the daily user: no DRM, no cookies, no history, websites that break... The browser should let the user choose:

  • Maximum compatibility (more tracking)
  • Mid-option (like a modded firefox but without the annoyances like cookies not being stored, having a fixed size, or forced light-mode/timezone)
  • Best privacy (pretty much the current mode)

I find myself forced to edit the default settings which is a huge privacy/fingerprinting risk. If we create 'settings groups', yes, the privacy will be hurt, but at least we will be more in each group.

What do you think about this?

Mozilla sucks as well

We’re truly doomed
