What can we do to keep it like this forever?

United front.

Good point. The other important difference is that on Lemmy you can jump to a different server. Once you get banned on Reddit, that’s it.

Who is downvoting this?!

Zen looks good, but being more unique couldn’t it get fingerprinted more easily?

Also their community is on Discord, which to me is a red flag quite frankly. I realize it’s separate from the browser, but still. Discord no good.

So much talent locked up in big tech. I wish they would all unionize and also leave and launch open source startups.

This looks really interesting, but I have so many questions. A few important ones that come to mind immediately:

1. What is the user agent that’s reported? I’m guessing Firefox, but if there are any indicators that would give it away it’s not Vanilla Firefox or a popular fork, this could make you more unique.
2. Are the mods publicly identifiable? Another thing that might make you very unique and prone to fingerprinting.

A core part of being private online is blending in with traffic, so using a niche browser like Zen (depending on the configuration) would make you stand out.

The product looks good, and the privacy policy is pretty good too. Still, it’d be good to understand all the aspects of how Zen prevents you from standing out in the crowd.

I don’t know if you or someone else can speak to this. I would jump into their community, but it’s on Discord, so that’s absolutely not happening.

Fuck off, Fuckerberg.

I don’t disagree. I was just stating a fact.

You also can’t activate an apple card or airtags without an iPhone. Welcome to the apple ecosystem. Enter once, forced to stay forever.

I don’t see this going wrong in any way shape or form.

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

Right. This goes for every company, ever. No company is going to do what they should do if it’s not profitable or beneficial to them in some way. It makes sense if you think about it, but that’s also why regulation exists. So that they don’t become too unhinged.

So when the existential threat is made public, it’ll already be in the palm of his hand. Wonderful.

This would only be meaningful if it wasn’t collected in the first place.

No Big Tech company has your best interests in mind. Ever.

Reminder: this is the company that holds a monopoly on the internet and dictates web standards.

I need to understand why people still keep giving that man money. Willingly. It’s mind boggling.

What’s even scarier is that takeout is probably only the data they want you to see, or are legally obliged to share.

I would be willing to wager they have lots more on you that you’re not even aware of.

Serious question: why does everyone in silicon valley have a god complex?
