You can't make this shit up

Oh it's definitely dying.

Unfortunately the feddit.de server has been broken for quite a while and we have trouble contacting the admin.

Well but Thunderbird can get mails from dozens of email addresses at the same time.

Yes I totally agree!

Because it works well

I urge everyone to install linux on an old notebook and see if it works for you with firefox as a browser and thunderbird for emails

In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers.

Yes but they will sell all of it plus where your mouse pointer was and how long you viewed what topic happily.

Mastodon I think has a built in feature to delete posts after x days. But I wouldn't use it since people who want to stalk or surveil you will find the hdd space to save your posts within these days but friends and people interested in your posts will not find it after 6 months. So I don't think that's a solution to your problem.

What could be of interest to you is the mastodon feature to only post to followers. That means that you will also have to approve followers as well, since it's pointless to post to a limited amount of people if that's potentially everyone.

You would still have to trust their server administrators somewhat but since most servers aren't run with profit in mind you won't find that many sell the user data.

It's pretty clever honestly.

Yup but the employers are to blame

Imagine using telegram... It's worse than whatsapp

That's a bold prediction.
