Yeah... I also read their wikipedia pages and they seem to sell a lot of sensitive info of their users. Not very trustworthy unfortunately.

Someone actually recomended datapps to me to find queers so thank you for this warning. Though I would skip them anyway because they're such a privacy nightmare.

I was kinda like your friend. There's probably some obstacle that prevents her from working on herself. It's easy with depression/anxiety to just blame yourself while ignoring obvious external reason.

what made you get out of that situation

A lot of help and support from people around me. Without them I would never be able to finish my college. And then overcoming my social awkwardness with a patient and caring person. Also gaining economic independence was huge for me.

Yeah, it was it. Why was it starting by default though? I don't recall fiddlying with pipewire at all...

@HelixDab2@lemm.ee I don't see your reply from my instance for some reason so I'll reply this way.

Try to get asylum in a less awful country.

Easier said than done unfortunately.

BTW, just want to point out that the implicit assumption here is that OP is queer, and wants to fund a support group. But it’s also possible that OP is homophobic, and wants to find queer people in order to publicly out them.

This is a fair concern although I doubt bigots would ask here instead of e.g. Reddit.

Thank you, I'll look into it!

Not really, uBO blocks some known stuff like cookie notices while Kill Sticky removes every fixed element on a webpage. It's actually more similar to Reader View.

Most people are on a local FB-like social media that's extremely toxic. Also requires a phone number for registration... but I will think on it.

Kill Sticky is a really good one, makes even the most bloated websites readable.

Be safe, and good luck.

Thank you good stranger!

Reminds me of this

There's an option in settings, although it isn't perfect.

there is far less malware on Linux

That's a common misconception. Linux is the most popular OS for servers. There are a lot of malware for Linux, probably even more than for Windows.
