Just avoided Philadelphia cheese (US) product using madeometer.com. Small win, nice feeling.

Flipped the product upside-down for the next customer.

Also fair enough.

I will try better phrasing next time :)

In that case, you’ve re-earned my respect (some of you).

I get you’re economically shackled already, but I just don’t believe the ‘too big/diverse to strike’-argument.

It just needs to start somewhere. And it probably evetually will now your president really fucked us all over.

I wouldn’t not protest to save the economy now, since that is out the window.

I don’t know if occupy accomplished anything, but the George Floyd protests were massive.

Americans can protest. I just don’t get the late stage capitalism stockholm syndrome.

I’m not asking for all of you. Just the ones that doesn’t want this to happen.

Whoah there, buddy. Easy on the misinterpretations.

My point is that taking action is most likely to occur when there is a strong, present motivation. Not just for email provider choices, for everything.

I KNOW privacy is important. But switching something you already use out needs to be exciting.

To be honest, switching for privacy feels like a chore.

Will do.

But could you all please like do a general strike, or lock down cities by protesting this shit?

Sure but counting on this as a forever state of the US is … risky.

This is wild. Russia claims to feel threatened by Nato and then attacks Ukraine. But Americans in Greenland is not a threat to them?

This is all bollocks.

If you can’t leave social media, then at least follow something that bores you today. It will make you less addicted and their data less valuable.

This is a horrible idea.

Thank you for the reply. The thing is, and I think this will apply to others too, I’m just a casual user. Unknown boxes scare me.

Couldn’t they be hidden away on signup (prefilled) and only visible when you click ‘advanced’.

Also, I have a mastodon account too. Are they now the same thing?

Instances - what are they and how does it work together. Also slow password reset emails. I have three accounts now.

I still don’t really understand but i am in 🤷‍♂️

New guy here. Signikg up was a bitch but glad to be here :)
