Caching is creating a local copy which they host. It might be legal grey area, but IMO it's a real threat.

One link in one discussion that slips through is basically enough.

I'm genuinely curious. Is it feasible that they maintain their own chromium forks, or will the work become too much if Google keeps inserting more and more crap into it?

Can someone make a comment on if and how chromium development changed since Edge uses it? I often hear that Google dictates chormium dev, but what about MS? Are they doing dev work, too?

But sadly, in privacy matters their interests are likely aligned, so that we can expect to be it further hollowed.

Maybe enlighten us?

Yeah, FB was killed by the younger people abandoning it for other SM. Twitter was killed by Musk. Reddit was killed by Spez.

And by "killed", I mean "lost some users and content quality". They still have millions of active users.

And my personal feed on Reddit is pretty much unchanged. Very few niche subreddits went into an extended blackout, so I still got all my content. And since I use the mobile website (FF+uBlock), the API change didn't affect me that much. But I hope more communities from Reddit will move over here, especially the non-tech ones.

With my peers it's mostly just "phone" nowadays. Likely because landline phones are really rare now.

You can also use Revancced on Android. Or Firefox with uBlock.

You are only truly anonymous if you always use a VPN or Tor. If not, Reddit has your IP and the ISP knows who is behind the IP. If LE knocks at Reddit's door with a warrant, they will give them your IP, with which they go to the ISP to get your name.

they’re an underwater welder from a specific small town and they have three sons

You would be suprised of how much less info than that is needed to ID a person. There are studies about ID'ing people via their favorites and last-watched lists on netflix.

I like it! Main issue for me is that there is not enough content on my hobbies, and "all" content is mostly filled with reddit-this and lemmy-that (or now threads) stuff, which is annoying because I don't want to talk more about the platform than actually using it. But I hope this will change with some time.

I use only the browser, UX and UI is pretty straight forward, but subscribing to communities of other instances is really weird. I need to copy the "handle" (i.e. !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml), and add it manually to my instance domain (i.e. lemmy.world/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml), and then I subscribe to it. I don't know if there are other ways (besides finding new communities via "all").

I'm not into the technicals of lemmy or the fediverse, but I guess this is not easily solvable, as an instance doesn't know that I am the user of another instance.

Also, I'm really amazed that https://lemmy.world/c/sourdough is already quite active.

When I browse "all" on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit's r/all was so much better when nudity wasn't purged from it.
