       So after reading all of the Mozilla responses my take away: everyone inside of mozilla is some how not seeing the problem their new ad stuff is creating for their brand. Their whole brand, the only reason people stick with them and don’t install a webkit like browser is “they are the only people left fighting for the good side”. It’s a hard position to be in. They need to be careful and deliberate in communicating features that could be problematic to their privacy loving core customers.

       And it does not look like they understand this at all. They don’t see any wrong doing on their side. Oh boy.

       You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.We don't want to be on any list. And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it. I am afraid what they will do with that.

       @aral @geeksam @codinghorror also: there was a Browser Setting. It was misused by the tracking industry and because of that worthless and removed 🤬

       Plenty of folks here are like “lol Mastodon is so great, zero outage because of Amazon or Microsoft going down”. But please realize that a huge chunk of Mastodon runs on Hetzner gear.So if Hetzner goes down, Mastodon will for most users. This will happen. Nothing is perfect, and humans make mistakes.And no, everyone running their Mastodon on their own home lab is not the solution here.
