    Put simply, these massive companies and their server farms are going to have to figure out how to make money. That’s why I think the fediverse and it’s more decentralized, volunteer, donation based nature is going to be the future of a free and open internet, even if it continues to become a smaller minority of the internet.

    Guys, let me ask a question.

    How can you hide your comments from others seeing them?

    I started thinking about this possibility when I came across people’s profiles where comments were hidden. (Also, when clicking on “Send message” this option was not available.)

    I found the “Content visibility” and “Active in communities visibility” items in the settings (Account - Profile) and disabled them. Then I checked what my profile looks like from another application where I do not use my account. The result is that all comments are still visible.

    How do other users restrict viewing from comments and the ability to message them?

      If they do it like Instagram, you have no control over the categories that get added and you can only opt out of one at a time, meaning the process will be extremely tedious and has to be regularly done.

    Oh, well, that’s a bit late, since I already used uBlock Origin to deselect the categories of ads that I do not wish to see (all), and then used my feet to deselect the Reddit I do not wish to see (all).
