Thanks for the reply and stating your position. I'd understand deletion if you were served a legal notice for a post/comments.
Btw, that user has also requested deletion of [email protected] on lemm.ee and it is in consideration. If this is the reason for your switch, I'd wait for their action.
How can anyone run a Plex server on their work machine? And why doesn't their IT dept monitor their devices?
I see episodes for all seasons on Streamio Android. For season 1 and 2, there are no streams though
Love it. Question: Does Photon not support opening communities link within the web app? When I click on the Photon community link in the post, it takes me to the instance lemmy.xylight.dev page
Off topic question, I'm trying to learn about seedboxes: Do you have to configure your own VPN with your current seed box or is it not necessary?

It doesn't support Android Auto, right? That's what's holding me back from installing it.
I was facing issues with lemmy.world too, now seems to be okay
tosdr.org for folks short on time
That seems as a weird decision by Firefox considering their relatively privacy focused image.
A Lemmy instance definitely saves that data as an instance admin can access it through the DB. Not sure if this is exposed via API
What additional addon does Pimp My Streamio provide? I couldn't find a list of their addons. Is it worth the hassle as I only use Streamio on Android.
Streamio with Torrentio add on + a Debrid service is all you need.

Why would the app installation be slow? Do they create sandbox for each app?
Yup, you have a good point with the third party advertisers not following GDPR. And I agree that the privacy policy should be as transparent as possible.
Yep, I just wish atleast the major instances outline this clearly to the users. Fediverse definitely has its merits that outweigh these pitfalls. Everyone should still be aware of this in as transparent way as possible
It is reasonable because I can have a trust basis with my followers who are my friends/family. If a malicious instance host can just use a plugin to view follower only post, that's not going to be expected by an average user. That's why I posted in YSK.
I wasn't aware of PGP, thanks for that info!
Yes, but there is a reasonable assumption that your pictures will only be viewed by your followers on Instagram. I can't see myself switching to PixelFed. I've completely switched from Reddit and Twitter to Mastodon, Lemmy, as I don't tend to share my personal information there anyways.
YSK: The Fediverse is a privacy nightmare
TLDR: While Fediverse won't directly serve you ads, anonymous bad actors other than Meta can save, redistribute, and even dox you for any information you post here. Anything you post here can/will remain forever on some malicious instance that doesn't honor deletion requests. So be careful!
In the current ongoing debate of federation with Meta Threads
Everyone is talking about how Meta is trying to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish the Fediverse. Meta won't be alone for long in this goal, there will be a lot of capitalist actors that would try to do the same in the long run.
Defederation with them will be a shot in the leg, and handicap the Fediverse movement itself. There will be users/instances in the current Fediverse that would want to federate with them, and banning such instances would create silos and echo chambers.
The way out of this is to focus on the 2nd E - "Extend". I think we can all agree that UX of Threads app will always probably be the best out of all the federated instances. But that is something that people can still live without. Before long, Meta will tout shortcomings like lack of E2E encryption in the private messages and some other core features, that will create a bigger divide amongst ourselves. The Fediverse developers and community have to keep abreast of Meta on such core features, so that they can ne
