@joho As goes the slogan of the USA's IRS
We got what it takes to take what you got.

@joho So glad I dropped Facebook and everything associated with it in 2020!
Show threadJoaquim HomrighausenMay 15, 2024
@otownKim Yeah, you did something really good there 🤘 I should too, definitely.

@otownKim Yeah, that one went well ... 😑

@joho So far Mastodon is a good place. I'm hoping it stays this way 😬

@otownKim I hear you 😊 I think "we" are a key component in keeping it a good place ☀️

My favorite name for it is Xitter. The 'X' is pronounced "sh".

@billherndon

Yeah, unfortunately, that would be a fitting name for quite a few Social Media platforms 😑

I love all those

Cookie statements.

@merien Yeah, they're really up there together with stepping on LEGO:s in the middle of the night or getting a kick in the nuts 😑
Show threadmerienMay 15, 2024

@joho they truly make me laugh, unlike lego, because of the ridiculousness.

Anyhow, private browising, separate cookie containers and often cookie deletion helps.

@merien Yeah, there are, of course, counter measures, but it's a pain that we should even have to use them. Privacy Badger is a nice add-on too, and #Firefox is pretty nice with its "auto" containers.

@joho We take your privacy seriously. All your information is safe with us. We promise to never share it, except with 1 or 2 thousand of our closest friends.

@zazzoo Yeah, that 😑

(Who will in turn share it with 1-2k of their friends, and so on...)
