The concern about privacy is definitely valid, but I’m not as worried about that stuff as I care more that it works than anything else.

Edge isn’t that bad of a browser. I don’t appreciate the hate people sling at it without even trying it. It’s seriously becoming a better browser than Firefox.

Harassment, illegal content, general dislike, there’s a ton of reasons one might want to block a server from Lemmy.

I don’t know how to compile

Literally run make. It’s not that hard.

Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.

uBlock Origin definitely. I use KeePassXC’s browser extension, but if you’re using Bitwarden already then you’re probably fine on that.

My search engine of choice is SearX, as DuckDuckGo’s results are just a frontend for Bing, i.e. not favorable to me.

The worst part is that the FTC’s “punishment” does virtually nothing to stop this from happening again.

There’s a thread about this on HN which may be worth checking out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36146062

I’d like to see a VPN-focused board on here. While yes, VPNs would fall into the privacy category, I feel like having a dedicated community for them would be ideal and help filter it out a bit better. One for Tor would be nice, as well.

I was referring more to the community. I remember most, if not all, of the listed instances being incredibly left wing. Not that I have a huge problem with that by itself, but I believe anyone should be able to get their opinions out there. Or, it could be that the userbase of Lemmy just happens to fall under those parameters.

Looking good so far. Last time I looked at Lemmy, it wasn’t so good. Hopefully this time will be a much better experience!
