I can stop eating bread, going on lemmy, quit my job and get a new one, etc. There’s a reason we do the things we do, nicotine has legitimate value. I know OP is a troll but nicotine is a lot less addictive than so many other very unhealthy things people do every single day without batting an eye. Only thing actually bad about it is the smoke in the lungs.

yeah the comment per day graph is not doing too hot. Subscriber count may be rising but comment count is constantly in the valley.

Uh that kinda just looks like electrical tape with extra steps

I like the web design tho

im so confused. I thought a guy was saying the original poster should have unblocked the name of the guy being weird with his song, i was saying that would be bad

yeah there’s also a difference in someone who is expecting private messages to stay private only to then have your handle get attention in a bigass community, did u forget the linked pic this thread is about lol

Yea the lack of confidence is not without reason for sure. It’s like the “fake-it-till-you-make-it” idea which in practice only works when the feeling of insecurity is overstepping. The confidence boost just snaps me out of that headspace which is nice, and every now n then I still say something goofy but iddiswuddidis

latter sounds great, not really where OP is headed lmao

bro wasn’t listening to anything and didn’t know what to say

… nah. Doxxing is not cool kids.

Oddly enough, since I’m so used to being open when I’m ~anonynous on the internet, when I need a confidence push to be open with someone in person I just pretend I’m on the internet and they’re a stranger, and bum bam wam suddenly I don’t give a shit what they think of me & I can just speak comfortably

upvote-only does make the comment section look dead

The issue isn’t about any one person… so many people here are making it a personal problem. The problem is the ability for literally anyone to track how ideas propagate PER USER. The person analyzing this data doesn’t care who any one person is in real life.

o cool I didn’t know that. I use AF Wall as my firewall GUI on Lineage. I do have to give it root to update the tables though.

I hear lots of great things about Graphene but it’s only able to run on Pixel phones. I have a LineageOS installed on my phone & I have full control over the firewall, and there’s no google on it. Got the phone a year ago, battery still lasts 2 days of occasional use. It’s amazing how nice a phone feels without ads, constant upload/download, and unneeded background services running.

Basically, and even with Graphene, the biggest security risk for a phone is the person using it. I wish it were more turn-key but the tracking with cookies is just the tip of the iceburg… apps like to track too and if you need an app outside of the free-open-source-software circle you should know how to control its access to the internet.

I downloaded latest .apk on apkpure a few mins ago, not fixed. Maybe it is on playstore though, but I’m not touching that

I’m trying Thunder right now and this one is very nice as well. But I’m getting the same problems as Connect… I click on a post from my profile and it says the post doesn’t exist.

At least on Thunder, it still loads the main post and I can scroll to my comment (which is how I’m replying to you. On Connect, my comment doesn’t even show up and other comments are missing.

I really do like thunder though so far it’s #1

And if it can’t, and you’ve reached the edge where there is nothing further, you write a Tutorial.

if u liked RiF, Connect to Lemmy is a p good app. After messing w the settings browsing lemmy feels so much cleaner.

it isn’t about you, it’s a security risk and a massive vulnerability leaving servers open to data collection for data they shouldn’t be collecting.
