What’s the problem like? Before I do something stupid…
Ask yourself this: why have you come to the Fediverse in the first place?
Some people just went to Fediverse to migrate out of reddit. Might not be aware or still new in the realm of privacy protection.
I am one of those people who migrated, and I don't want to be part of any other social media plattform that is run by megacorps. (haven't found a good content rich alternative to youtube though)
I don’t know how futile this battle is, as it’s undeniable that content are still made on platforms hosted my those megacorps. For now I start with privacy friendly frontends. Libreddit for the reddit stuff and piped for youtube.
It kinda sucks that those megacorps lured the people/youth in with a prospect of fame and money to produce content for them. Turning what was once a creative pasttime into a tedious job.
this sums up my viewpoint entirely
