This looks pretty promising, the only thing I miss from Barinsta is the customizeable and chronological view of the feed/a feed that only shows me the accounts I follow, but I guess I can live with that, thank you!

Bold of you to assume “we” have electronic patient records here in Germany, when they just introduced the e-doctors certificate and e-prescriptions a few months ago and it’s already not working as intended.

Yeah I know, but for some of my channels the sponsors are part of the storytelling and I’d miss stuff if I autoskip them. I’m not too bothered by sponsors most of the time either and I think it’s kinda interesting to see which company is currently trying to establish itself in which bubble, but I also totally understand why people would use that feature.

I’ve been using freetube for almost 2 years now and as long as google doesn’t find a way to restrict that access I couldn’t give less of a fuck about every dumb restriction they introduce. Freetube on desktop and newpipe on mobile devices for when you wanna ruin your eyes and you’ll never see an ad again that’s not product placement. I genuinely don’t understand how people still use google products when they have the option to just don’t?!

Same here, these subs just aren’t the reason why I used to be on reddit or why I’m on lemmy now. I used to be low profile on reddit (and actually liked when people thought I was the allo-cis-het man they assumed me to be because it made my posts look so funny at times), but I’ve found lemmy to be less misogynistic so far and I’ve seen a fair amount of users with pronouns and fairly filled out profiles so I thought I’d give mine a try too. So far nobody has ever used them, but we’ll see.

This isn’t meant to bash OP’s cause, I’m sure someone finds these communities useful, it’s just not for me.

I used to donate 5€ per year to Wikipedia since 2019 but I’ve stopped in 2022 because humanitarian related funds for Ukraine had taken priority and I haven’t resumed them since because Wikipedia’s begging has become almost unbearable to me (as well as some other reasons). Might donate something again this year if I can bring myself to look past the stuff I dislike about Wikipedia.

Edit: and I run a Snowflake proxy if that counts as donating?

Same here, I used to intentionally post about a location I didn’t live in anymore as if I still lived there and never about the location I actually live in, it was fun XD

Is there any real security-minimizing reason why it’s not wanted by the official app to have multiple mobile devices linked to one Signal account? (I’m not even talking about a second phone with another SIM card, I just wanna use it on my tablet).
I would appreciate a simple/ELI5 style explanation if there is one, I don’t work in IT.

I’ve been using barinsta for a while now, and while it crashes sometimes and often takes ages to load my feed (I follow around 150 accounts) it’s way better than the official app imo and enough to browse and occasionally react to my friend’s messages. My one rule is to never post my face and I don’t upload pictures of people in general, but I guess that depends on what you have to use it for. On and obviously no location tags in posts, but I don’t think I have to explain that on a privacy instance ^^’
