How to Quit Google, According to a Privacy Expert

Extracting the ubiquitous tech giant from your life is a process, but it may be worth it.

Please boost/repost for reach!

I’ve come across some cool #Fediverse projects. I personally would love to know what else is out there but I imagine many of you would as well.
Please share any #Fedi projects that you are working on and or know of.
I’ve seen an #Etsy like project, #Pinterest alternative
#Goldfish which seemed like a #Tiktok like project
I’ve come across awesome client apps like https://statuzer.com/I can’t get enough of #Beanapp for #Lemmy and #Artemisapp for #Kbin

Whatever you do, do not use Soapbox for your #fediverse needs.

The creator and maintainer, Alex Gleason, of Soapbox (or Rebased as it was called) is anti-trans and was previously the head of engineering of the Trump-related social network (Truth Social).

He also worked on Poast, which was a social network for neo-nazis and a direct successor to Kiwi Farms.

Steer clear of it.

Truth Social Closely Linked To Far-Right Platform Poast

'It's using the front end built directly on Poast.' Truth Social has close link to far-right platform Poast.

I think I found the domain name of #Threads, #Meta's new #Fedi-enabled service, also codenamed #Project92, #P92, and #Barcelona.

URL: https://threads.net
IPv4: 157.240.22.63
IPv6: 2a03:2880:f231:c5:face:b00c:0:43fe (note "face:b00c")

Looking up threads.net returns #Instagram's logo, the title "Barcelona" and "this page isn't available" (probably because it's not open yet).

I'd recommend every #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin in the #FediPact to #FediBlock them before they go live on the #Fediverse!
