I understand.
Still, I feel better using ProtonMail than FastMail, and I consider FastMail to be preferable to gmail.
I also feel better only touching Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook in a private browsing tab. I understand that they can to some extent still use my data to make money for themselves and not share any back with me. I understand that even limiting the data collected in me, I am still subject to nudging, herding, and conditioning - but I hope to impede these actions against me.
I am an author and I rely on social media a few times a year to notify readers of new books, updates, etc. Otherwise I would be happy disconnecting, as I have disconnected from corporate news services.
- rapnie 6y agoInstead of Twitter you could use Nitter [0] for reading and use Invidious [1] instead of YouTube. There is also a privacy-friendly Insta client, but I forgot which one. I often take the effort to convert the URL's to these sites before sharing with others (there are plugins that do this automatically). [0] https://nitter.net/about https://nitter.net/about [1] https://invidio.us https://invidio.us Also check https://switching.software https://switching.software
- mark_l_watson 6y agoThanks, great resources. I must admit to having never seen these three sites before.
