My red flag would be showing them NewPipe, with recommendations turned completely off.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And subscriptions using RSS feeds instead of a YouTube account.

[–] [email protected] 94 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Guilty.

Having no actual presence on social media is considered "creepy" by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.

Having no actual presence on social media

I've got some bad news for you...

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I meant no actual presence on mainstream social media where I'm not using a pseudonym, and exchange profiles with the general public that I meet.

[–] tyler 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Forums are not social media. How is this hard to understand. Forums have existed for decades longer than social media and if you include forums in the definition of social media then you literally by definition include every comment section on every blog, news site, and even things like the FCC request for comments from citizens.

It’s absolutely idiotic to include forums in that definition. You make the definition so wide as to be useless.

People have gotten confused and declared that any internet based activity that involves interaction is social media. Social media is centered on users (you follow other people, not topics, and people for whatever crazy reason use their real name), whereas there is absolutely no real reason to do that on a forum.

Social media is centered on users (you follow other people, not topics

This is the exact reason I never became interested in Mastodon. Following people just isn't my style. The only social media I use is YouTube (without an account) because apparently Lemmy isn't social media.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

if forums are social media, or the internet more broadly is social media, would that include shit like, newspapers? And like, the library?

[–] tyler 2 points 3 months ago

Great way to put it. That really is the root of it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

If that's considered creepy then I'm john wayne gacy

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I find avoiding social media helps reduce encounters with the insane side of people who somehow appear to be relatively normal in real life.

For instance, I actually like my inlaws in real life, despite having some very different views than they do. On Facebook however, they're complete fucking idiots that I wouldn't give the time of day because they would just argue with me about it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's odd how that proxy allows people to act feral. It's like the behavior of a dog behind a fence.

Though I'll admit to trolling a little bit here and there, so maybe I'm not the best example.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It's funny, I'm the opposite. In real life, I openly advocate for seizing the means of production and guillotining the rich, but I don't do that on Facebook because I don't want to get banned.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I've had the opposite response. Generally I get a "good on ya, I should really delete it too"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

as far as i care, having social media makes you more likely to be insane, because of the aggressive amount of influence that these sites and applications hold over people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I actually got a date once by saying I had 10 laptop computers and no Facebook account. Not a good match in other regards, but the person was cool about privacy.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They ask for your search history then

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My browser clears private data at the end of every session.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Same, but you were talking about NewPipe. I assume you use that on your phone.

And while you can disable the search history there, too, it often is convenient not to have to type the name of that thing you want to listen to while you're driving, so many people leave it enabled.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I just leverage playlists or bookmarks, typically. But while driving, I play my FLAC library off a thumbdrive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

YSK you could also swipe single entries away in your Newpipe search history.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Or switching profiles in GrapheneOS so I can look at my Google apps

The brain rotted mind doesn't understand the lack of an infinite pit of o-face reaction videos to pick from.

It has "hot" but I don't think the feed is personalized.
