This is CUTE! Would love to see you creating one for Jerboa of you intend to create for other apps. Hell, I might use this one for Jerboa tbh (if you’d allow me to do so, of course). Great icon!

We can always keep a never in 10 years updated profile active for family and stuff. The biggest danger is for active users after all: they’re the most vulnerable to targeted media manipulation.

By being present in their lives (while giving up as few data as possible to big corporations) they can have by their side someone with good advices on privacy, manufactured consent, rights violations and adjacent topics. Alienating ourselves from them isn’t really beneficial in the long run.

I use WhatsApp as well for the people I keep in touch with, and have an active Instagram account where I use only the chat feature. It’s enough to keep up with the people in my life.

For whoever is even more privacy concerned, it’s possible to run those apps in sandboxed mode through some apps.

I did it the moment they decided not to defederate from Meta. I don’t like admins who can’t take decisive actions to protect their users (and apparently seem to bend their knees to any big corpo out there)

As a cyclist I lost count on the number of times I was almost ran over by some vehicle at 100+ km/h
