So far the fediverse has led me from twitter to mastodon and encouraged me to give up Gmail for proton mail. What next? Lord, I'll be looking into Linux for my old laptop next. It's like a cult here.
I'm not complaining

@Tattooed_mummy

next you may find out there is too much gafami even on linux and look at other non proprietary nor incumbered options

you may find out your hardware is unsafe and may look into esoteric architectures

you may find out that there is too much scraping even on the fedi and look into p2p networks possibly on the darknet i2p tor

you may find out service providers offer warrantless access to anybody and you may look into lora, packet radio and meshes that bypass providers
