Yea, it’s called indexing, it’s well documented: https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199756841/obo-9780199756841-0090.xml

It’s owned by Meta/Facebook a company that’s makes its money spying on users. Signal or Simplex Chat are much better choices.

How could anybody stop the AI robbers from stealing content from the fediverse?

I don’t think Telegram denies doing mass surveillance. They might deny targeting queer groups and claim to only target extremist, whatever that means.

I mean it’s pretty bad to practice mass surveillance.

It’s not nothing if Telegram makes people believe they only share their location in a limited manner, but instead broadcast it to the whole world. That’s a serious breach of trust. I don’t know why Telegram users keep making excuses for that platform.

Maybe fix Telegrams privacy problems.

Maybe he should focus on adding e2e encryption to the default chats and group chats instead of spreading FUD.

From Reddit:

“I bought an Umbrel.com home server hoping to have a dedicated device to run my favorite software on. I spent $500 and got an Umbrel.

Their “app store” is small, outdated (from an app update perspective), and filled with cryptocurrency junk. I should also mention that its difficult to use non-approved software, requiring your own GitHub repo with config files, docker setup, and a few other things. No one-click button to import software.

The hardware is half as good as a used 1L mini-PC that you can get on Amazon for $170, and itll give you more control.

The Umbrel has an HDMI port hidden inside, so if you want to use it you must cut a hole in the side for it. The only way to accees its interface is with a slow, buggy, and heavy web UI.

Don’t buy an Umbrel, buy a $100 used 1L machine and save yourself a headache and $400.

EDIT: I asked for a refund and was denied since they don’t offer them to anyone. Huge red flag!”

There is a warning from a user on Reddit. Might be worth considering before buying. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/16qekm6/dont_buy_an_umbrel/
