Meh I think for any platform that makes money via ads, its pretty much impossible to assume they'll care about your privacy. On the other hand, convenience is a legit tradeoff. That's why most people are not on decentralized platforms. It doens't have to always be a binary choice. I use both type of platforms, talk to diff people, get interesting perspectives.

I think it's easy to forget that the average individual is unaware of what they're even handing over in exchange for the use of these features. The closest they get to even hearing about privacy issues is when Apple make a point of it in their ads and presentations. I feel the average user on Tildes is a bit more technologically minded so for people on here, the trade offs aren't worth it.

Now, I do think sometimes the pendulum swings way too much the other way. A niche set of peopel are really into decentralized services believing that their data is not sold if a few individuals are hosting it. A centralized service doesn't have to sell one's data. I believe Tildes is a good example of that.

I try that, too. What I found surprising about these new features is that their convenience isn't that attractive for what they ask in return. No?
