If your company also pays for your phone's data bill, we can see a general overview of what sites you visit.
The "sort by old" option has returned. Not sure when, but I started noticing it came back about a week ago.
It's stored on all 4.
Regardless of which on you create the content on, assuming they all federated with each other correctly, every instance hosts its own copy of your posts.
Even changing your email address isn't that hard. I used to only have 1 Gmail address for everything before I realized it was a bad idea to have all my eggs in the Google basket.
I changed maybe, 100? services to my new email addresses and it took about 30 minutes tops.
Standards are good. What's not good is that Google controls the standards.
Open source or not, Google currently has the ability to dictate web standards as they see fit.
Why? There are 2 reasons:
- Chrome has a 63.55% marketshare (as of the time of this writing) of all web browser usage
- Maintaining your own fork of Chromium or even your own separate browser engine (Like Firefox does) is extremely difficult.
There's a reason so many of these browsers just use Chromium. It's because Google is doing the Lion's share of the work. Modern web browsers are some of the most complicated pieces of software ever written. They are comparable in complexity to entire operating systems.
When Google makes a change to the Chromium project everyone follows suit, lest you fork it which leaves development and ensuring interoperability entirely up to you. The complexity of this task depends on how far you want to take your browser.
Even those who fork Chromium will pull changes made by Google to the original Chromium project because making and maintaining your own web browser is really, really difficult.

I would like to know how young these Koreans are
That's the first thing you see when you click on the link
Why on Earth would they run r/place not only in the middle of July but right in the middle of a massive fight with their user base?
It keeps happening intermittently for me. Sometimes it asks for a log in and sometimes allows me to see it.
I can never view the replies though.
Owners of an instance can do whatever they want. That's the whole point of the fediverse. If you don't like it, then change to an instance that does what you like or create your own. It's that simple.
