Oof. That movie was one hell of ride.
True. Feeder is a great app. Every morning, I wake up and have my coffee while reading my news feed via Feeder.
Looks nice. I used to have a Solarized Dark Rice an year ago when I used Artix.
I really do not see any logical basis that makes you separate privacy friendliness from User Friendliness. If a platform wishes to be user friendly, privacy is also one of the fundamental rights of a user the platform needs to take care of for it to be considered friendly to a user.
The fact that a lot of people, not 'everybody', are comfortable with Instagram has no strong points to consolidate your own position. It only describes how good the horrible marketting of Giant Tech Corporations is at entrapping millions of people into using it, generating life long addictions and the eventual wastage of time on degenerate culture. While the Corporations collect all that data available to them to further their own Capitalist interests.
Privacy does come at a cost and compromise. A slightly less funkier UI for a far more secure platform, for essentially 0 cost is a lot one could ask for, especially when you are comparing a Libre project made by a small organization to a proprietary project made by a Multi Billionaire MNC.
I will not be apologetic in saying that you are the child here who is tailing the mass of consumers without proper analysis.
It is ironic that you call a Proprietary Data Harvester Platform User "Friendly". Well forget users. Meta even collects data of non users to top off the grimness.
Surprised Void Linux has not been recommended. I suggest giving it a try.
I have not seen advertisements in a long time accounting to a few years. I have abandoned all the proprietary data harvesting platforms and rarely surf web for no reason. Using libre software, platforms and only referring to specific reliable scientific sources helps a lot in reducing the wastage of time. It also helps in planning things better and I have seen that I am generally able to complete my self assigned projects faster. It also leaves me with more time to spend in leisure. Of course it also combats addiction to mostly useless Social Media. Being away from all the toxicity on the internet also keeps me happier. It's quite disgusting how tech corporates exploit millions of users' data for Capital generation.
