1. Reflect often on the problems that result from it.
2. Find other engaging things to do with your time, e.g. rigorous exercise is often satisfying.
3. Try breathing meditation, not primarily for any "spiritual" benefits, but to occupy your mind (since you can do it everywhere) and to achieve some peace.
4. Try mindfulness meditation to reduce friction with life.

I mean, given there are companies that scrape user data and sell them to interested parties including governments, it seems highly likely that there will be entities that create instances just to collect people's data in the fediverse.

One way to look at this is to separate the information available into what's available locally and what's available across the Lemmyverse (I am not familiar with others). The information that you mentioned probably are available on all the servers that pull the posts/comments from the community in question.

Info that is local only: IP address, email, password, usage information. Info available to the two participants' servers: DM

I think the mitigations that the EFF article mention mostly protect the locally available information.

That's a great question. The EFF article gives answers that I find somewhat unsatisfactory (but may be possible solutions given what're there at the moment):

For users joining the fediverse, you should evaluate the about page for a given server, to see what precautions (if any) they outline. Once you’ve joined, you can take advantage of the smaller scale of community on the platform, and raise these issues directly with admin and other users on your instance. Insist that the obligations from Who has Your Back, including to notify you and to resist law enforcement demands where possible, be included in the instance information and terms of service. Making these commitments binding in the terms of service is not only a good idea, it can help the host fight back against overbroad law enforcement requests and can support later motions by defendants to exclude the evidence.

Another benefit of the fediverse, unlike the major lock-in platforms, is that if you don’t like their answer, you can easily find and move to a new instance. However, since most servers in this new decentralized social web are hosted by enthusiasts, users should approach these networks mindful of privacy and security concerns. This means not using these services for sensitive communications, being aware of the risks of social network mapping, and taking some additional precautions when necessary like using a VPN or Tor, and a temporary email address.

Please, exorcise it.

Yeah, audience score: 81%, well deserved.

Does sound suspicious. Who would want a non-open-sourced non-platformed identity service?

I don't watch youtube. My inline video contents mostly come from R... Vow, I miss those; they have some really interesting videos I keep forwarding to people.

There are 7,000+ Tor relays, and 2,000+ bridges being run by entities including individuals, orgs, corporations, and most likely governments. (https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html) So, the answer is yes, no, and something in between. He himself didn't say, but the article portrayed him as being an individual who believed in free speech, an activity which Tor does help support.

They convicted him on "supporting the transfer of underage pornography", i.e. he ran an exit node that "allowed" the upload of CP to an Austrian image hoster. Apparently, he wasn't protected because he ran the exit as an individual, not a registered company. Most likely, the Austrian authority checked who uploaded the images, and found his IP address, which became the basis for convicting him. He didn't have any of the materials because all those stuffs were encrypted in transit.

He mentioned that law that was used to prosecute him was changed a few weeks later to protect individuals as well. He apparently now ran Tor exits under an offshore company.

In summary, from what he said, he just happened to run an unrestricted exit node that some people used to upload CP.

You can also ignore bot postings that don' t have comments.

Speed: something closer. Search: big instances. Lots of communities would have been subscribed to.

Big instances probably will be bigger targets for hacks. Smaller instances may be likelier to disappear.

0 guarantee. Whatever they say, in reality, it may happen otherwise. Best efforts/intentions/etc. Remember the hacks recently? Maybe the hackers could have dumped the databases on those instances and taken everything.

You want more certainty? Host your own instance.

Wrong c/, but the answer is no, for the native web interface.

Unhappy kitties.
