Tbh, in the digital world Lemmy is actually a nice step imo. But more steps can always be taken (as long they're reasonable). Whether its physical or digital.

I mean I tried giving up a Microsoft account for an Ely.by one. Finding servers was somewhat more inconvenient but was fine.

I didn't get the "You played on more than 1 device". Guess it has been 100% Linux

Sounds like a decent approach. Private by default but without taking away the freedom to interact with threads if so desired. At worst an inconvenience

I hope everyone here has deleted their Microsoft account ;)

Firefox does now have built-in page translation that runs offline. While it's not the best one out there it only needs to connect to the internet once to download the translation data.

Check out tosdr.org. It helps a little

Personally waiting for the shiftphone 8. Fairphone 5 is also a possibility if you value ethics. These should be less bloated than most I believe. The pixel is nicer than most mainstream phones. As it just comes with the vendor who made Android and their proprietary bs instead of yet another layer. The best way to eliminate bloat is a custom rom. Pixel supports GrapheneOS and I believe all of them will be supported by CalyxOS. (They made a build for the newest released shiftphone)

Very rarely on other platforms like lbry and peertube. Don't have a Google account and use a YouTube frontend

Well someones gotta go first. Nah, I'm kidding and I get it. I tried it myself with Snapchat and Discord and it was a very slow and tedious process. But I got it done. Migrated to SMS for the people that refused to adopt a new platform and since SMS is ...quite bad it does get easier to convince once you're there. Feel somewhat guilty for bothering people but I sure don't miss the old platforms. Good riddance.

I'd recommend trying running a llm locally. Mistral OpenOrca is pretty good (saw it on GPT4All)

Will it collect data about my sexual activity?
