This is exactly what comes to mind when some fedi people want to block all the search engines.

Good answers from real people are what drove everyone to start appending “Reddit” to the end of searches. The rest of the results are SEO trash.

I’d like to see a lot of that traffic move to lemmy and other fedi stuff and I think letting indexers do their thing is positive.

The one paid podcast I pay for does this.

You pay on their site and then you get a personal RSS URL to put in your catcher.

Probably owns funko pops too.

I do the same but I just use a script that runs periodically to update CloudFlare with my current IP with their native API.

Ubuntu Server with docker/docker-compose on top.

So many guides for Ubuntu specifically makes reading up on something a lot easier and it works just fine.

This assumes the only source these companies collect from is your internet traffic. It’s not.

And even if it was, VPNs don’t protect against fingerprinting.

For the past few months I’ve been using kanary which is a service that searches for your information on hundreds of different data mining sources and submits deletion requests for you.

I started with ~225 exposures and it’s gone down over time but I’m still sitting at ~50 exposures and it seems to have plateaued.

This information was data like who I’d married and when, past and current addresses, family members, etc. None of which was gleaned from internet traffic.

Sorry but that isn’t gonna help.

Important info here. Definitely not the impression I got from the OP.

Just set a rate limit? This could have been a code change and a blog post.

I’ve already fixed CW on my end by using the setting to show everything by default. They don’t personally bother me.

Those that expect me to CW benign things bother me.

My comment was and continues to be about people who isolate themselves because people post scary pictures of eye contact and plates of food.

Ah, so now that I’ve shown I wasn’t full of shit, you need to change tack.

This is something you could have responded with to my original comment.

And it is a form of isolation. Its isolation the poor sensitive souls on Mastodon subject themselves to willingly.

I’m vegan and I’ve run into vegans on mastodon who bitch and moan about CW on posts with animal products and that’s just as ridiculous.

Again, grow the fuck up.

Jesus you’re annoying.

is a single example from 10 seconds of scrolling.

Now, what are you going to do with that information? What was the point?

Edit: hahaha just search Mastodon for “eye contact”. There’s more than I originally thought.

I’ll invite you to reread my original comment to answer your question.

Where’s the strawman? Those are specific examples I’ve seen.

Lack of isolation online played a big part in my deconverting from Christianity.

These goobers on Mastodon content warning a fucking dog looking at you or, heaven forbid, a plate of food, cracks me up.

How do they function day to day? Grow up.

and revealing information

It’s already available publicly without having to log in.

Na, that one is probably appropriate.

If I run an instance that blocks threads, how do my users have interaction with threads users?

also blocking any instance that federates with an instance hosting harassers and hate groups – provides even stronger protection.

Even safer, unplug your router.

Y’all notice that things always talk about “user safety” and such but never detail just how the NAZIS at Threads will continue to interact with their users when the whole-ass domain is blocked.

This is just another purity test.
