This is CUTE! Would love to see you creating one for Jerboa of you intend to create for other apps. Hell, I might use this one for Jerboa tbh (if you'd allow me to do so, of course). Great icon!

The biggest threat IMO is being exposed to Meta-curated content. They definitely use their algorithms to push narratives in their interest.

Being exposed to their users is being exposed to them by proxy.

How much of those 3% are comprised of the 1% who are active posters and the 10% who contribute commenting instead of the ~90% lurkers?

I'm willing to bet more than 20% of the people who left Reddit are frequent contributors instead of lurkers. Those are the users that drive traffic in the long run.

Possibly a server issue. I'm on lemmy.ml and got some lag issues a few hours ago.

Please, showing girthy shafts like this in public is such a shameless behaviour.

We can always keep a never in 10 years updated profile active for family and stuff. The biggest danger is for active users after all: they're the most vulnerable to targeted media manipulation.

By being present in their lives (while giving up as few data as possible to big corporations) they can have by their side someone with good advices on privacy, manufactured consent, rights violations and adjacent topics. Alienating ourselves from them isn't really beneficial in the long run.

I use WhatsApp as well for the people I keep in touch with, and have an active Instagram account where I use only the chat feature. It's enough to keep up with the people in my life.

For whoever is even more privacy concerned, it's possible to run those apps in sandboxed mode through some apps.

Having some experience with both Python and JS/TS, I don't have much preference about ternaries or expressions. Although I always break lines for ternary statements.

const testStuff = condition ? 
  outcome(1) :
  outcome(2);

Having everything on the same line ruins readability for me.

I love those "are we (thing) yet" sites. They're amazingly helpful.
