Signal uses the same E2E encryption as WhatsApp and is also not Open-Source. One could argue that not being owned by Meta makes it inherently more private, to which I would somewhat agree.

The most private Messaging-App would be some kind of federated Chat, like Jabber or Matrix, that you or a collection of family/friends can self-host.

Unfortunately, nobody uses those ¯\(ツ)/¯

That’s peak Pizza for me! Especially with both pepperoni and sucuk (turkish garlic salami that’s basically available in every Pizza delivery place in Germany).

I would consider myself a normie, specifically regarding reddit, as I only spent my time lurking there and already have more comments on lemmy than on 7 years on reddit.

The current vibe and atmosphere just feels kind of special. Almost everyone is figuring stuff out, no one is down voted for asking some basic questions and I don’t have the feeling that some grammar nazi is immediately around the corner to correct my many mistakes, just to get that sweet, sweet karma.

Lol, I think the first one would definitely have flown over my head without explanation. Also, I don’t know if it’s instance specific, but I can’t seem to find my reputation on my profile, neither on feddit.de/lemmy-ui or Jerboa. Where do you get that information?

Maybe it could be useful for moderators or admins to access that information? But that also poses the risk of accounts “reputation-farming” like on reddit to sell the account to some bot-farm that uses it for astro-turfing or sth similar.

Iirc larifistreams.com was decently reliable to have every f1 stream. Personally I have switched to F1TV. It’s somewhat finicky to get running if you’re in a country like germany, where it’s not officially available, but the quality of the commentary and functionality overall is so much better then for example skyf1.

I think the lack of a karma equivalent, and thus karma farming, results in much more thought out and unique posts/comments.
