I can only advice to try out a color E ink eReader in person. Their screen is usually low contrast and dark, to a degree that you need to use it with backlight by default, which kinda defeats the purpose of an E ink eReader. For E ink, monochrome displays are still the way to go, and if you really need color, a device without E ink.
Ask anyone who works in IT and they'll confirm nothing gets ever deleted from all records and backups.
Jitsi remains free. As you can see, this isn't about money but rather about privacy, which has diminished compared to before.
The issue with centralized systems becomes more apparent: the provders are held accountable for their users' actions.
Mix addictive ingredients into food and the consumer will eat more than naturally, but it's not better for him. Saying "more is better" and confusing "to engage" with "to like" is eval.

To see how your approach works, try using the Internet with Javascript turned off for reading text. You will realize you can't organize your life nowadays without bowing to what websites do technically.

Why does it make a difference that gun manufacturers charge for their weapens. They make them accessible for basically every adult. If they didn't sell them to basically everyone, many shootings would not happen, as world wide statistics show. Earning income on what they provide makes them even more responsible, because they profit off from the selling. I don't see why they are not being charged for selling it to people that use it to commit crimes, and someone providing an exit point does get charged because he lets people use it while he has no control at all over who uses his access point.
Time for a federation of messengers. The XMPP protocol is ready and waiting for you.
Reddit has shown the middle finger to users' decade-long commitment, ignored all complaints, and demonstrated it doesn't care, which has destroyed all trust.
Now, Reddit is asking, "Can we be friends now so you can continue to work for us for free? We want to follow through with our plan of cashing in and need your contribution."
The feeling that commercial platforms give me is being harassed until I pay them money.
I like to support platforms, but don't like being milked like a milk cow.
That's why I'm completely open source and on free networks only.
When there's a post about privacy issues, expect alternatives with more privacy be mentioned. It's just that there are so many moments that big corporations violate user's privacy nowadays, so that's why you see it that often.
