That's not how the real world works though. Platforms need money to exist. An actual alternative is FOSS hosted by individuals, either because they have free capacity or funded by voluntary donations. Just as the fediverse works, which is why I use uBlock/Alternative clients on YT/Twitch and send money to the creators I watch directly. My goal is to harm those platforms directly, because better alternatives exist.
I'm not aware of an equivalent for search engines, that is acceptably maintained and mature.
But fr, here all cats and dogs have chips with all of the owners data, readable by doctors, animal shelters etc. Also useful for only allowing them to go through cat/dog flaps.
And for normal people, just call everyone "You" lol
I don't like popcorn enough to justify getting that shit everywhere by uncontrollably grabbing and stuffing it in my mouth. For me, it's something to slowly munch on.
And why does the fact that the two dozen girls were in a cult matter?
