In regard to big instances shutting down and search results in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

i dont think you understood OP's question and underlying points. the point of the question is about getting a working link out of a closed instance link ending up on search results, yes you could do what you just said but OP is talking about a faster and easier way to simplify that process for search engines to give back that working link, at least thats what i understood, plus selfhosting just a search engine of threadiverse/forumverse like Sepia Search would be less resource demanding than probably hosting a whole Lemmy/PieFed instance just for that purpose, OP is suggesting a different approach or moreso wondering if its already a thing and just isnt aware of the existence of one

Curious since I found out about NoScript's shady past and Tor comes bundled with it, would it be safer to tweak uBlock Origin for the same purpose of NoScript?

I did read and no they didn't address this specific question, this is all it says about personal assistants:

Tip 5: Open-Source Voice AssistantOpen-Source Voice Assistant

Say goodbye to Alexa and other voice assistants that eavesdrop and analyze your conversations. Instead, try a privacy-friendly alternative like OpenVoiceOS, an open-source assistant developed by an active community and runnable on a Raspberry Pi. This way, you stay in control of your data.

someone else just mentioned to me in another community about Friendica as well and it does have something similar to "pages" and many of these things I mention, thanks!

Are there Fediverse alternatives to Facebook I can try convincing friends to jump over to? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm finding alternatives for Discord/Twitter/Reddit very easily but still on the search for a Facebook alternative, anyone who didn't quit Facebook yet know how shitty their feed is now bloated with things not related to your friends but it was good before, it wasn't just about "posting", things like being able to create pages, join communities/groups (private and public), events calendar, optional geotagging, tagging people on photos

I'm new to the Fediverse and am astonished when I see Facebook icon or direct mention but I usually see alternatives for Reddit/Discord/Twitter more mentioned, has anyone here used Facebook? Mastodon doesn't have events calendar nor communities or "pages"/alternative profiles to use for branding without needing separate account unless I haven't explored it enough then I'm sorry

I didn't know about OpenVoiceOS, I usually see Leon more recommended (also open-source), are there upsides of using OpenVoiceOS instead of Leon? I don't see Leon mentioned on it
