uBlock Origin and nothing else. The more extensions, the more unique you’re fingerprint will be and the bigger your attack surface.



systemli.org

  • Germany (I think)
  • Politically leftist
  • Very nice people
  • User experience 8, works fine and people put a lot of effort in
  • It’s free, but you need an invite code

Source? And fyi, if you use Signal you are generating your own encryption keys. Your private keys are generated on your phone and stay on it. So what gives you the idea that

the US government has all the keys

?? Sounds a lot like a conspiracy theory


Ah nice, I didn’t know that was possible


True! But then Simplex / Signal are no real alternatives to Telegram, are they?


I’ll give it a try, thanks! Sadly it doesn’t seem to be well maintained though :/


I already use an ad blocking DNS, but that’s not how they distribute ads, sadly


Which one? There’s three in my post. And I do use an ad blocking DNS, but this can’t block message-like ads from Telegram. Otherwise it would have to somehow read the encrypted message content…


I know! But I don’t really have a choice currently; which app would you suggest for tickers / info channels? Mastodon would be an option, but it’s not quite the same. Abd I’d first have to convince everyone to use it :/


I use telegram mainly for info channels and tickers. To my knowledge that’s not possible in Signal, because you can’t restrict participants to be read-only (right?)


Telegram without ads?
So, Telegram has launched horrible [ads](https://ads.telegram.org/) that look a lot like spam to me. At least in my channels it's typically some crypto bullshit. So, I wonder if people know about alternatives to the subscription service for blocking them? Sadly, Forkgram [won't offer that option](https://github.com/forkgram/TelegramAndroid/issues/134) and it doesn't seem to [be allowed](https://core.telegram.org/api/terms#3-advertising-amp-monetization). However, I wonder if there are still forks out there which block the ads? Or do people know of alternative options?

Can you give a source on the Hetzner claim? I’m curious and didn’t find anything online


I’ve been using metager for some while and really like it. They’re also part of an initiative pushing for a free as in freedom search index, so that’s nice





Resonate is really nice. There aren’t that many artists yet tho…


Does anyone actually use I2P
I first heard about I2P here on lemmy. The concept sounds really cool, but does anyone *actually* use it? And if so, what for? To me it sounds like it depends on many people using it and many applications integrating it, which just doesn't seem to be the case.
