I found an old #
Gmail account I haven’t used in a while, signed in, and deleted it. Screw you, #
Google. I deleted #
Facebook and came here to Diaspora. I’m alsod toying with #
MeWe, but probably not for long since it’s centralized and even deleted a friend’s whole group because they disagreed. I also dumped #
Microsoft #
Windows®, since I have no wish to contribute to Bill Gates’ bullcrap, in favor of #
Linux.
Now it’s #
Mozilla to delete, because of this. New default setting to filter out content the new dictators don’t like. So it’s #
Brave browser instead of #
Firefox, and Evolution instead of #
Thunderbird. I gave Geary a shot, but when I clicked on Preferences in Geary the app would crash (at least on my current Linux distro). My Internet provider, #
AT&T, owns #
CNN #
FakeNews. So I’m working on changing my ISP as well.
My own family thinks I’m “paranoid,” but I’d be hypocritical not to put my convictions into action. They agree that #
BigTech is a big, evil problem, but they’ll go ahead and continue giving big tech control over their Internet use, social media, and privacy. No, I’m not #
paranoid, I’m principled and doing what principle demands.
