Does DDG still have the same upward trend that they used to before Brave caught on?

Why you said makes me think the number of votes is wholly irrelevent.

What is interesting or helpful is entirely subjective, it's personal opinion. What is considered misinformation is entirely subjective. That makes me believe the voting count on a post means nothing for indicating the quality.

Considering how any majority of people typically react emotionally rather than have humility and respond with consistant logic, it seems personal opinion on a mass scale is an unreliable gage for quality of material.

 

What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I'm not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don't see what the intent behind it is.

What part of what I said did you take to mean that I want insults?

Are suggesting there should be conformity without divergance?

If Proton cared about privacy for VPN for clients, they would remove the login requirement and make ProtonVPN an anonymous services.

If there are concerns about abuse for the network, that's way the login, how could they figure that out without seeing people's traffic.

I use RiseupVPN and CalyxVPN for being open source and anonymous.

Until ProtonVPN removes login in their free client, it is not an option.

FreeTube, Invidious, or Rumble.

 

Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?

Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.

Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there's no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.

 

Why does Mastodon censor people worse than Twitter over hurt feelings? It seems multiple servers or instances prefer to ban account for using a bad word, rather than be an adult and let each person decide if they want to engage or not. Even going so far as ban an entire instance from other servers for not being nice.

Twitter users can block someone to not seem them anymore but accounts are not auto deleted because they used a word on a auto ban naughty list.

I personally condemn insulting other people, but in the real world when someone goes outside, nothing can be done about getting mocked or insulted and people have to continue on with their lives. How are people so scared of words and always run away rather than have the confidence to stand up for themself and punch a bully?

Mastodon will continue to stay wholly irrelevant and pointless until people can handle bad words and insults is unavoidable part of everyday life, unless their too scared to ever go outside again and are even scared to read certain words on a screen.
