A few weeks ago, we shared that FB updated its privacy settings, making it more difficult to find/change them.

You know how we feel about FB, but if you NEED to use it, @KateOflaherty shares tips on how to increase your privacy.

Using Chrome's Incognito mode to "protect your privacy"? Let us Google Translate:

Despite the name, it still allows Google to track your browsing activity AND your search history.

Switch to DuckDuckGo (our app has real private search, browsing & more!) https://duckduckgo.com/app

I am happy to reveal that a non-profit legal entity for Mastodon, Mastodon gGmbH, is in the process of being entered into the German company register.

For context, I have been operating as a sole proprietor so far.

It's been in the works for 8 months but I didn't want to announce anything until everything was finalized just in case it didn't work out. Yesterday, I paid in the starting capital.

It wouldn't be possible without the help and advice of @mellifluousbox. More to follow in blog form.
