    Yeah because what Linux users on the fediverse don’t realize is that most people don’t find their data valuable. Bc genuinely who cares if Instagram knows that you’re a dog. In fact, most people actively want other people to know the things about them that apps collect. They’ll just post it on Instagram and TikTok without a second thought.

    The alternative to platforms not collecting data is them charging you what your data is worth yearly. So Google might cost 20 bucks a year, Instagram my cost another 25 bucks a year. Most people would end the year with maybe 100 to 200 in “web service bills”. Nobody wants another bill.
