New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.

Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.

It will take some work.

If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.

Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

I know this is an unpopular opinion with both the Google fanbois and free software fanatics, but having used the Internet since the early 90s and being a minor JavaScript and web dev celebrity, I’m telling you this is the most pragmatic solution to the privacy problems.

Bonus: Safari is, IMHO, by a wide margin the best browser there is. They really push the envelope wrt to privacy, speed and useful feature (e.g. Reader is genius on pages overwrought with ads)

The only two realistic ways to escape Google’s grasp is to either use Linux and Firefox (and no phone), or to use Apple. I like Linux and all, but I also like stuff that works more or less out of the box, so Apple it is for me for my computers and phone (but Linux on servers).

Did you know? Commodore made PC compatible laptops at one point

this and his other videos are by far, the best game reviews on youtube. i don’t get why it hasn’t more viewers. it’s amazing. watch the whole thing. https://youtu.be/82Vku8_bLPQ
