If you are a Chrome user, you've probably been been opted-in to Google's enhanced tracking system without any warning.
Chrome's newest update pretends to provide users "Enhanced ad privacy", but actually enrolls Chrome users into a new trackings system.
To disable Google's "advanced" ad tracking, go to Settings>Privacy and Security>Ad Privacy and disable all three options there (Ad Topics, Site-suggested Ads, and Ad Measurement).
Anybody confused why people still listen to turntables or CD players forget that they never:
- stop working because they can't connect to WiFi
- stop working because they need a firmware update
- stop working because the manufacturer dropped support
- say "if you like Bach you might like Taylor Swift"
- play ads
- recommend "turntable premium"
The cool Fedifinder Twitter-to-Mastodon follower tool got a UI facelift, and is now even easier to use. Thanks for the effort, @Luca
It's at https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ and helps you find people you liked following on Twitter, and that have moved to Mastodon
So you're just getting started in Mastodon huh?
Here's a neat thing. On the web interface you can search for a Hashtag.
Same as you can on Twitter.
Something like #Ukraine, for example
But on the search results, see that little user icon on the right? Click it and you'll follow it as if it's a user!
New posts with that tag will arrive in your home page, even if you don't follow the author yet
