In 2022, Attorney General Paxton sued Google for unlawfully tracking and collecting users’ private data regarding geolocation, incognito searches, and biometric data. After years of aggressive litigation, Attorney General Paxton agreed to settle Texas’s data-privacy claims against Google for an amount that far surpasses any other state’s claims for similar violations. To date, no state has attained a settlement against Google for similar data-privacy violations greater than $93 million. Even a multistate coalition that included forty states secured just $391 million—almost a billion dollars less than Texas’s recovery.

How do alone people find each other online? (programming.dev)
 

I am not joking when I say that I thinked for hours about how do people find each other in 2025.

Currently, the world is in very weird state. People online are either using social video platforms or they are reading news or lurking in online forums in it's different shapes and forms.

Most chat platforms that I know had shut down and most alt social platforms are almost dead. Even Hackernews had started to see a lower amount of comments compared to previous years.

I want a serious answer, how should I find people online to talk to about anything really other than politics?

Social Media Companies Should Resist Turkish State Censorship (text.hrw.org)
 

Turkish authorities have again ramped up efforts to clamp down on online free expression. The latest escalation follows İmamoğlu’s March 19 detention and the ensuing nationwide anti-government protests. In such a climate, social media companies increasingly risk becoming an apparatus of state censorship.

I just wanted to add my valuable insight to the discussion here: Fuck Cars.

Specific Alternative for Discord as quick Storage? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Pro@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

That is a hard one, you might look into ope source drive solutions, but that would require some setup and if you use a lot of space then also money.

To answer your question, I don't endorse the following solution, but I think it would still be 1% better than using Discord: If you already have Telegram, you can use Whitehole.

Q: Can I donate?

A: We appreciate that people want to support us, but we never have and never will accept donations. We maintain this project because its fun and we want to help others, not make money.
