And their justification of it.

Edit: since for whatever reason i couldn’t reply to @BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social, i’ll edit my comment here:

I have no issue with the difference in opinion, but idk, if giving up way more privacy than it needed to run the app doesn’t seems bad to you, i have nothing much to add 😐

Okay, this is an honest question.

Why do you care? How does it matter at all to you what apps your friends use? How does it affect you?

I can totally understand people valuing their privacy strongly and refusing to use mainstream corporate social media. I can also understand people who don’t care about that and decide that they get more out of it than they give.

Given that people posting on a social network that you’re not on has essentially no effect on you at all beyond a vague bit of FOMO, why does it matter?

Because fundamentally, people really don’t care about all that much. They want a simple social network that’s vaguely pleasant to use, has the people and content they’re looking for, and otherwise stays out of their way. They certainly don’t care about Musk’s random crusade du jour against the evil woke libs.

Nor do they particularly care about targeted advertising so long as it remains vaguely unobtrusive and their data isn’t constantly leaked in ways that directly harm them. Zuck, for all his many flaws, is smart enough to know that the single biggest thing he can do is to largely stay out of the way.

People are Lazy.

Yes how do you use dickdickgo to do this?

What kind of addon do you use to contain the tracking cookies on Firefox? I’d really like to get it too.
