Google should be embarrassed at how much better Samsung is.

We don’t need to do anything. They simply can’t. ActivityPub is designed that way.

As few as possible. Browser extensions can be used to fingerprint you.

I only run uBlock, as it’s included with most privacy-focused browsers like LibreWolf. Even better if the browser has built-in domain blocking like Brave, then you don’t even need that.

Couple of things: 1 is to run a privacy-friendly OS. AtlasOS is not really an OS at all, but really just Windows 10 stripped of all the spyware. This also removes pretty much all of the security features so you really ONLY want to run this on a gaming-only device, or on a gaming-only sandboxed partition. Otherwise, Proton has made Linux very usable for the vast majority of games.

Second: Look at the yellow boxes on Steam. This is where they disclose all the shady shit publishers are pushing on you. Don’t buy games with DRM. Don’t buy games with anti-cheat, this is incredibly invasive software. Don’t buy games that require you to sign an EULA, which is usually just forfeiting all of your privacy rights. Don’t buy “online-only” games.

All games on GOG require no DRM so those are usually a good bet.

There are a thousand other communities competing for users. This is an easy deal-breaker. Removing downvotes takes away the ability to hide spam and shitposts. If the users are downvoting “legitimate” discussion, it’s probably because the users don’t think it’s legitimate, and the system is working as intended.

Instead the admin suggests you should “report” them. If this site were ever to gain any traction, there’s no possible way the admin could sort through allll of those reports. That’s the entire point of the downvote: community self-moderation.
