I think its downfall was being a closed beta, which made it useless for communicating with other people who weren’t already invited

Yep, there’s an additional filter for those

I’m not American so I’m not familiar with how HOAs work

What’s the consequence to just ignoring the rule?

I miss when phones were hand sized

You can prise my Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact from my cold dead hand

They have also injected Javascript into pages (selling new modems) and add(ed) unique headers to HTTP traffic so websites could identify individual users despite their best attempts.

This must have been pre-HTTPS since you’d need to MitM the SSL certificate for that to work

Also self hosted Wireguard on a foreign VPS

I literally don’t even notice between the VPN being enabled or disabled

lol. Hide your private traffic by routing it all to Google

Yea I have no beef with the dev charging. People need money

Having to accept that horrible Privacy Policy though, even if I do pay. No thanks

I think the point of the post is ain’t nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps

Why does it matter what we think?

I don’t mind so much that it’s not FOSS. Developer needs paying, fair enough

I want an app without an egregious Privacy Policy that doesn’t bundle code that shares “Usage Data” with advertisers

Ah gotcha

Doesn’t that mean unfindable?

I much prefer a separate server for the simple reason that it makes my desktop somewhat disposable. Reboot whenever, install whatever. If it breaks my server stays up

Basically, the more you isolate the purposes, the less the purposes clash

Yea it’s a shame the URL isn’t

How many GB is your filesystem/database as a single-user instance?

Looks like a polished app but sadly it has issues on my Fennec/Firefox for Android

Takes a while for me on Linux too. No idea if it’s longer on Windows

I’m using SnappyMail but I’m sadly missing Rainloop

I know it’s a fork, but the new work seems sloppy and badly implemented. Rainloop was a brilliant UX. It’s a shame it’s no longer developed

Yea probably similar to how Lemmy and Kbin are theoretically compatible. ActivityPub doesn’t guarantee that, it’s only because they happen to use ActivityPub in the same way. If one of them changes their implementation, compatibility breaks.

I do often wonder how much it matters that all these platforms use ActivityPub
