As much as it sucks, this is actually a good thing. Instead of using a capitalist for-profit company that sells your data, now you’re a part of a community of radical MLs in a platform where no one is selling your data. I also advise slowly switching to more platforms/operating systems like this one where the user is the top priority instead of money. For starting out, I advise checking out fsf.org. Next, you can slowly move on towards a more liberated life, not just digitally, but also physically. Free from the constant surveillance, the profit motive, and greedy corporations. Welcome to lemmy!
