It’s been a year or two, but last time I tried it their app worked fine on x86 Android in qemu. Not the most efficient way to run it, but at least it’s isolated from the rest of the system.

Re profiling, I don’t think instances will bother doing that (unless they start running ads). However, they also don’t prevent anyone from building that profile themselves from observable behavior. And creating such database might constitute original work by itself. Now, they don’t get as fine-grained interactions as you would with tracking-infested sites. But they will get the most valuable ones such as active participation.
I’m not convinced by Session’s decision to remove forward secrecy. I don’t care if it’s malice or incompetence, they shouldn’t be in business of encrypted messaging either way.
And their lack of transparency on their share of underlying network and the associated costs for new entrants doesn’t make them smell like a cryptoscam any less.
My personal advice is avoid. You’ll be far better off with simplex, or xmpp+omemo for something not paired with phone number.
EU is not doing it yet, however there is strong push from interested parties within and outside of the EC:
Including illegal use of targeted advertising / misinformation campaign:
Look at https://simplex.im/ then. It’s work in progress but the design is good.
But I’m glad to have a better Signal client too.
Issue #3580: Make Show Read Posts More Relevant
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3580
Only when requested via special form I believe.
I should prepare a guide on how to take your data with you when quitting Reddit.
For instance when you want to be able to prove that it’s your account without disclosing your legal name publicly on Reddit you may use keyoxide.org for cryptographic proof. I think I’ll talk to keyoxide folks about a method of obfuscating those proofs so they are harder for Reddit to systematically delete.
I understand not everyone will be willing to go to court for this, but at this point I want enough of us to be able to to get them fined enough for every platform to notice.
Making it a Searx plugin would probably do better in terms of making it accessible to a lot of people.
I wonder how good are various ActivityPub instances at searching. Having pregenerated fulltext indexes of public content available for download could go a long way to make building search engine easy and fast.
One thing I’d love to see and would probably help quite a lot with searchability is to have blog and CMS software, instead of having dedicated comment system, integrate a “discuss on Fediverse” button.
It could bring up possible communities based on blogpost/article tags. And since Lemmy supports pingbacks the system would know about the discussion threads and it could even show few last posts from each.
To me it seems like win/win situation for all parties involved.
I’m probably missing something, but wouldn’t it be far easier to redirect people to install page of extension for their respective browser? Such extension could then transform the button as needed to point to whichever social web instance.
Original WhatsApp was XMPP with phone number for your username. Pretty much what https://quicksy.im/ does now.
WhatsApp today is completely different beast.
