Only zaps or reposts, this is the biggest change we’ll bring to social media.

It can discourage it, because you can’t finance it with worthless fiat. But not prevent it.
Thought this was a serious discussion. My bad.
You can use nostr:npub1c9d95evcdeatgy6dacats5j5mfw96jcyu79579kg9qm3jtf42xzs07sqfm and have both freedom and privacy
A reminder for politicians and investors still investing on that shithole that is Ethereum.
You have been indirectly financing terrorism.

I’ll check Bisq. Have never seen consistent offers below market price. Have you tried nostr:npub15369wu3wzzar5fclhecyqfv683x69n6nhlg7rxqnsg2dydgxflpq3apswl ? The UX is good and you can buy on mobile.
People expect premiums on those websites. Buying at market price is rare.
I used several apps and webapps, all the most famous ones. Never had issues.
I logged on Nos and my information was gone. Posts and follows were still there, all the rest was gone. When I came back to the other apps my information was gone as well. It took me 5 minutes to repopulate the profile, it wasn’t a big deal.
Privacy annoyance of the day... basically Apple knows about every app you launch for the first time. And for every every update you install, the first time you run it.
They make effort to forget these phone-home events, but it's a trust-me-bro privacy model. Which is not acceptable in a country with the Patriot Act. Even if that Act has some built-in protections, those are degraded by a declining appreciation for rule of law.
So when reading company statements like this, it's useful to replace some words - which I've done in square brackets. I'm still fully assuming good faith here, as well as no coerced lying.
> Privacy protections

We have never [but could] combined data from these checks with information about Apple users or their devices. We do not [but could] use data from these checks to learn what individual users are using on their devices.

There is a stapling mechanism that developers can use to (maybe?) prevent these phone home events, but it's not mandatory and not always practical. More importantly, it's intended as a convenience for users that are offline when they first run an application, it's *not* intended as a privacy measure.
The Patriot Act is expired Sjors. You probably worry about the CLOUD Act and FISA 702.
