That there's no direct benefit to the user.

Pretty sure .local is safe.

But in the implementation I proposed, moderators would get to subscribe their communities to hashtags they choose or none at all.

You're not even wrong

They debunk the idea towards the end of the video. But since there's no conclusive proof either way, they left it, technically open

Fragmentation is a myth. Look at the various different technology groups that are all thriving on different instances. Stop (inadvertantly) pushing for centralization!

I feel the same about exploiting things that can't say no. This is why I'm vehemently against animal slavery and sports. Especially horse racing and dressage.

The counter argument is that all ads are bad and that we should create an Internet whereby ads don't exist. Reality says that ads aren't going anywhere. So rather than let them do what they want with invasive privacy tracking, it's best to ring fence advertisers and give them enough actionable data to appease. Now you may be thinking, we don't negotiate with terrorists! But you do, it happens all the time. In this case, it's giving advertisers enough to leave innocent people alone. As for the not so innocent (people like me and you that run adblockers), this never affected us. People that run adblockers and are upset about this were just trying to manufacture outrage because for whatever reason, they feel that unless Mozilla does that they want exactly, they're unhappy.

Just to be clear, and I'm probably oversimplifying, this is essentially a bunch of counters, user batch pressed ads on pages about _______ that was above the fold. So advertisers see ads on _____ site got __ impressions and was about _____ placement was above the fold and generated __ hits.

Smarter people that me have explained it in more and exact detail where as I'm just painting a vague picture of a concept to try and convey things.

There's a lot of people that trust the privacy guides website and yet the founder is just spewing emotional bullshit that's not even grounded in facts. A bunch of smart people can see the benefit to the average end user and then Jonah is putting out bullshit. I'm disappointed in him and privacy guides.

I've never seen a bad word said about MeCool boxes.

Communities have topics. Communities are groups. Communities are full of individuals.

 

I'm not affiliated with the site nor am I the artist, I just find communities without icons jarring. It's like an OCD or something, so I'm just trying to help.
