The platform I can trust ? When none of the current platforms I do trust have any cookies at all ? Or analytics?

Personally I’m not too eager to jump on yet another big social media bandwagon (this is the first time I hear about this platform) => however I do think it’s a good message/idea to have a platform that challenges meta/X/… and confronts the idea of trust. I’m not saying I trust this but it’s a good message for Joe Schmoe to start talking about these issues.

Grandma who wants to share pictures of her cat isn’t going to be using a decentralised platform. And she =>needs<= to share cat pics. So it’s either meta or anything else that looks like it. This might be better. (Emphasis on might)

Tell me why my dear sweet grandma isn't welcome to post her cat pics here, coward

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She’s more than welcome, I’m just trying to discourage her because I’m afraid she’s gonna steal my already non existent thunder on here.

I don’t have cat pics ok?!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!!! HUH?!?!!

Be happier with some cat pics, this is exactly why we need more grandmas on board :p

If you ask REALLY nicely (or bribe me with a coffee), I'll share my cat pics with you! We'll take Grandma down!

My parents just email me pictures of stuff. It's fine.
