c'mon guys not everyone wants their cookies. Use nitter or piped if you really believe the content is worth sharing (you do review the content to make sure it's accurate, and worth sharing, right?)

If it's just a meme, embed the image here for a better UX

If you're linking to twatter and that link is just a post linking to another article, don't be a tw*t, just link straight to the source article!

stop feeding these giants.

Yup. Also what is in the SN guide:

Nitter instead of Twitter, I'm in full agreement -- at least for threads.

Youtube though, I prefer (when a consumer of content) because when sharing an SN Link for a youtube video, the Tweet has the youtube embed. That doesn't happen for Piped.

What if we reply to any post with a link to the #BirdSite or YT with a link to the Nitter or Piped alternatives and whoever wants to tip, does so to the alternative, not the toxic one? That could very quickly help, hopefully...

I would always tip the commenter with the privacy alternative, and not the OP!

I never click on a link, anyway. The few times I'm inclined to check them out, I just copy the video or tooet ID and search for them using one of those alternatives.

Yes please! Please, please, please, please, please.

Exactly! I would also encourage everybody to install libredirect or privacy-redirect

be my guest, you can buy whatever shitcoins you want as well

on my side I'll be filtering out trolls like you and will continue my quest to encourage a better and more sovereign digital world

This kind of thing where you demand things is not encouraging sovereignty

You can set your browser to a never accept cookies from them…

1 sat \ 2 replies \ @03365d6a53 OP 20 Mar 2023

it would be better to not even send any traffic that way

if you're on twitter perhaps you could encourage your favourite 'influencers' to use Nostr or even RSS instead

Also cookies is not really how they get you anyway. They can fingerprint your browser without using cookies or even javascript, and since both Apple and MS block third party cookies by default on their browsers now, they're started relying on those alternative methods much more.

I just use my self-hosted Nitter instance and the Nitter Redirect extension. I have been meaning to setup an Indivious one for a while too, should get around to doing that.

P.S. For RSS, Nitter provides RSS feeds for any Twitter feed. You can also use those (or any RSS feed) to create a Nostr bot using Rsslay. That's also open source and self-hostable.

quite right, fingerprinting is far more effective than cookies, what I should have written was 'not everyone wants their (c)overt surveillance, abuse of digital rights, market domination, and/or support for tyranny'

I appreciate the RSS tip! However I try and avoid consuming social media content (/servers) completely, preferring to support and share the content of creators who provide alternative, open source or direct distribution channels.
