I work in a hospital where they are still required in some areas, so I always have way least one on me, and I'll wear it in some other situations was well.

But you never know (unless you run your own instance) if your instance has been modified to record it somewhere before it is removed.

If you make bread you can tell a difference between brands of flour, and the more expensive stuff is usually noticably better.

If you have all your traffic going through tor, ajax requests will come from an exit node too.

Are there any onion service lemmy instances yet?

Just require users to be logged in to view posts, and then limit them to seeing a few hundred every day. That should stop them from stealing the content.

I used xmpp for years before Google talk federated, and I was so excited. I thought xmpp was finally going to be mainstream, but then they used their weight to control the direction of the protocol, then cut and run. Xmpp has mostly recovered and still a great protocol, but Google kind of messed it up before kicking it to the curb.

Edit: This page no longer exists, but as recently as 2020, Google had a page about how dedicated they were to open chat standards, 7 years after they introduced hangouts, which was once again a closed/proprietary protocol.

And for me at least, Twitter is almost exclusively read-only for me. There are some people that tweet stuff that I like to keep up with, but trying to engage there is super toxic. Reddit/lemmy is way better for actually talking about stuff with people. There is toxicity but it's easier to ignore/downvote than Twitter, somehow.
