Is there anything about Startmail (company that does Startpage.com) that is worth avoiding? I’ve never paid for mail but if it’s solid and avoids Google I might.

Happening to me too. And the behaviour is back on Android 9 where it isn’t appearing in the app switcher or can’t be closed in any way.

Yeah I agree, hopefully it’s a rare non-evil entity that just wants to make a revenue off convenience and quality rather than some batshit shareholder nightmare monetization garbage.

With the vault stored on a synchronized cloud drive, Proton/Google/etc the same thing happens.

Being able to just browse without signup and see largely federated content would pull in a lot of people. I am new to federated concepts, but would a generic, non-profit “home page” that’s browseable without signup is possible? Apps like Voyager could dump newbies into that until they want to post/interact?

Agreed, you could pick your own algorithm(s) to follow just like hashtags, maybe just a “follow this hashtag and similar engagement posts”. It might be an easier transition from the imposed monolithic algorithm God that meta/google impose if people are in control of how the app feeds them.

It’s simple you see, it goes like this: Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian, “ACTION” YOU SHALL NOT PASS! “CUT”, Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian.

Fuck up and blame others laziness, classic Tory 😂
