You have list of alternative frontends here https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

For snapchat, it would be hard to create alternative client, because it has no API that lets you send or view recordings, so it would require reverse engineering and/or checking its communication with the server. If you want alternative for snap, you'd need to invite your friends there, and there the problem begins.

If you don't add any CA certificates to your system, use HTTPS-only mode and connect from your own client, there's no easy way for them to see what you do on websites. They can only see what websites you're visiting, packets and the timestamp. Using VPS will be the literally the same, except you have only one server and only you are using it, so you're more fingerprintable.

Depends on your use case, for maximum online privacy you should use Tor Browser on Linux or TailsOS. If you want just to pirate, VPN is usually enough.

Theoretically there's "no hate speech" in the rules, but I haven't seen anyone getting banned for that. You'd need to find out yourself what's their definition of this word.

How well were your grades? You didn't go to doctor on weekdays even once?

You have also other privately run instances, you can check the list on Github or somewhere else

You can also use LibRedirect addon to redirect Reddit/Twitter/etc automatically to alternative frontends.

What does it give you even do except for cool image below the post? I never got why people bought those coins. Does it even give karma for the author?

Do you mean Lemmy subs? Then both on Lemmy and kbin you have RSS icon on sub pages.

They defederated from shitjustworks and Lemmy.world. They left .ml federated.

Not dying, but decommercializing. Glad to see it, unless people will just go to something worse.

But I think people are overexaggerating how fast and how big this process is. Most people are still on Twitter and Reddit, it's just some people (maybe 5%) that left. Especially on Twitter, where it didn't really get worse since it got bought.

The posts are public and on all instances, but profile is only on one instance. There is no way to log in back. Would be cool if you could sign with PGP or Metamask, so you can use any instance with one profile.

The data instance really has is your browser info, IP and clicks. Posts are on all federated instances. That's for every site out there, and kbin doesn't have (I hope) business to sell this data to anyone.
