I mean, do the maths. A high res picture is 8-15 MB in size, and a 4k video has 60 fps (frames per second). Let’s take 12 MB as average picture size, that gives you 12MB x 60 frames x 60 seconds = 43.2 GB/min. With some advanced compression algorithms you can maybe get the individual frame size down to half, but that’s really it.

Chameleon add-on for Firefox, randomly rotates your browser, OS, screen size, timezone, device type, language, and other customizable parameters every x minutes.

I’ve set it to do so every 5 minutes, and to omit desktop & tablet as device types (else some websites display the respective page) and timezones (messed up 2FA).

I also disabled blackberry and windows phone from the manufacturer ID, that would have the opposite effect from obscuring me.

For the rest of it, it’s working great.

Swype enabled keyboards are awesome though. I loved my BB, but the screen real estate that a digital keyboard clears up is quite significant.

Chat is only available in the official client, the implementation is closed source. So yeah most likely that.

So you go back to your negative review, edit it, and insert a random space somewhere. Did just that.

Very good point, I didn’t really consider that. And now I feel bad for not replying more to your elaborate response, but there’s simply nothing else I could add.

Oh we did use third party tools, and there were 5-8 moderators depending on which sub. I just loved the mod queue on reddit sync to just approve/delete reports on the go. Since I’m in Asia I often got them before my US counterparts, so could clean up the queue early on.

As long as they are still publishing the apk to f-droid, as a user I hardly care where it’s hosted.

Wrong thread?

Their IPO was priced below $100, thus far the model still works. I’m guessing they’ll go the way of facebook, with dwindling user engagement but somewhat stable ad revenue since people go there out of habit or through links from random google searches for obscure topics.

I left with my 14 year old account after they banned third party apps. Moderating large communities (1M+) with the official app was impossible, and I was moderating 3 of those, plus a bunch of smaller ones. I did Secret Santa 4 or 5 times (move countries frequently for my job, so it wasn’t always feasible), and still have the Guinness World records certificate somewhere, plus a lot of free merch from the mod appreciation giveaways back when they weren’t a shitcorp. Leaves quite the bad aftertaste.

Pretty sure that by now I’d have been banned as well, I never held back with dark humor and speaking out against evil corpos. In a way I’m glad I left on my own terms before it all went fully to hell.

Weird, youtube with ublock origin is all I need to enjoy no ads. Are you using some additional scripts that modify youtube in some way?

What about infosec.pub? Been my home instance ever since .world blocked piracy discussions, and I never had any issues there.

Use Firefox with the Chameleon addon, works on Fennec as well (Android fork with Mozilla telemetry removed).

People are idiots. Why would you give up a benefit you’re legally entitled to? Nobody is going to as much as thank you for that.

Escalate it to their support team.

Do it on the desktop website, their mobile stuff is broken beyond repair.

No, don’t. Banned accounts look good in their statistics to investors, like they care about users and enforce strict moderation. Or they shrug you off as part of a bot army or something.

Actual deletion means a conscious act of a user to leave the platform.

They changed the phrasing, since in some jurisdictions “sharing anonymized data with partners” can apparently be interpreted as a sale of data, if they get something in return, even if it’s not a fiscal payment.

But after the outrage that sparked, they’ve rephrased the policy again and wrote a lengthy article detailing the reasoning, which is at the very least plausible.
