and they get rate limited often.

Subscriptions really are taking over the whole world.

I don’t really care about anonymity much. Privacy != Anonymity.

It seems like some people use my searxng instance sometimes. It’s not locked after all.

The search requests are being made on my behalf on the host (in my case, the hetzner VPS).

I host my searxng instance on a hetzner vps so my ip is not leaked anywhere.

Unfortunately the GrapheneOS team do not provide apks for the vanadium browser. Have fun compiling it yourself.

I doubt cromite’s devs’ knowledge in privacy as they still use Adblock Plus (which has some privacy issues) instead of uBlock Origin.

Brave is even shadier with their past URL injection “accident” and overall crypto involvment.

The best is to self host your own SearXNG metasearch engine.

Matrix, SimpleX, XMPP

It’s because LW is behind cloudflare iirc.

Grayjay still works and is being actively maintained. They also support other platforms like PeerTube and Odysee, which you can easily enable.

MullvadVPN.

If you can get a invite code, sure. Or you also can try out Disroot.

I personally pay for Posteo (1 euro/mo).

No I meant end to end encryption

Tutanota’s emails are quantum resistant only when you are emailing other tutanota users. So practically no benefit really. You’re better off buying a cheaper email like Posteo that at least lets you use a goddamn third party client. Then you can use GPG to encrypt your emails or just use something else really, email is not good for discussing confidential stuff.

MullvadVPN is good, keep using it.

…or just migrate the community to another instance? Like why are we in the fediverse? Have people forgotten that if you don’t like a instance, you can just move to another one?

Locking this post as it violates rule 5.

COSMIC DE is really starting to look amazing. I can’t wait to daily drive it.

No idea, I’m not the one that owns !asklemmy@lemmy.world, so ask @Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world instead. In fact, you asked me about this in the past. Didn’t you say you would make one?

big, it risks snowballing into the only populated instance.

…which has been happening for a few months now. 90% of the newcomers join LW, either because someone recommends it to them or because they just don’t care about decentralization or don’t understand federation.

LW should actually close their registrations down for a while, but I guess they just don’t want to (iirc the admins acted pretty ignorant). It is very concerning that most active communities are in LW or Lemmy.ml.

Pick one of the top 50 or 100 ones at random, just avoid lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, they are larger than they should be.

I am currently using discuss.tchncs.de, you can try it out.

Lemmy’s introduction website is good at this btw:
