I think car privacy isn’t talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?
I’m a bit confused too about the new accounts daily. Why not just stick to one and keep posting from here? Are you trying to avoid blocks by switching accounts? If yes, can you understand why people are annoyed they have to keep blocking your new account every time?
For other people blocking me, I don’t really care if they do or don’t, it’s just unfortunate unintended side effects for the actual reasons:
Shopping for a new home instance
Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the “hot” feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you’re on lol)
Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job
Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to
For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I’m not making a whole bunch on any one instance
What was the issue with lemmy.zip? It’s well maintained and the blocklist is quite short
If you want an instance not federated with hexbear, grad and ml, then infosec.pub should do it
If you are using alts to federate communities, that’s fine, but keeping posting from one account would be better, those are two different things
Also, if an instance is missing big communities, the admins probably didn’t bother setting up Lemmy-federate , and users didn’t bother to ask either, so it’s probably a quite low population instance
.zip is on the short list for sure, the Triad federation though is a detractor for me, but not necessarily a deal breaker. I also don’t want to just default to one of the big instances that every one is on
You once told me that power posters like me are essentially de facto advertisers for an instance, so I’m keeping that in mind as I go through these instances. I would like to promote small instances through my posting, so eventually I’ll probably just starting posting from random instance accounts that I’ve already made
Infosec.pub is decent, but was having issues when I went through it. That was either the one that was sporadically going down or the one that was taking 45+ seconds to post every post (I’d have to check my notes). But I discovered, like you said, it defederates from the entire Triad so that’s a big plus. I’ll revisit it for sure to see if the issues I encountered were just bad timing
Because I post such a wide variety of content, simply posting is an effective way to discover what comms are and are not federated on an instance (short of writing a bot to do it ofc, but whats the fun in that?)
That’s true for at least one instance I’ve been on, but I honestly think that bot is not as reliable as it seems…
