      well like I said, I found Reddit abusive in their spying, censorship and money grabs, so I dropped them and came here. The people who care will drop Google, the rest will remain as victims. Can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. I think many haven’t realized that is us the users who give these big corps all their power.

        How do you know your instance doesn’t spy, censor, or… well, I guess you’re correct on the money grabs part, haha.

          If they were concerned, they could spin up their own instance or join one that’s run by someone they trust.

          The same could not be said for reddit.

          Why are you even here?

          I assume everyone is spying but i use a vpn so I don’t care. Censorship here is difficult for a server as people can very easily change to another one, and money grabs are pretty hard here 😉 Nothing is perfect, but I like this place a lot more than reddit. I don’t use anything Google and am enjoying that also.
