I'm currently auditing the source for Shreddit https://github.com/x89/Shreddit before using it to clear my data from reddit; has anyone who's more comfortable reading Python than I am gone through and audited the source recently? I don't want them to backchannel any of the data I'm deleting into an external database.
@b New Years resolution: slowly extricate myself from all online services that are monetizing my data, time, or attention.
@cercerilla what’s left after that, for you? Here? Your blog?
@b more or less yeah; not much. I'll still have to consume some things out of necessity, but I'll limit and carefully control how I write into the system to minimize my footprint.
@cercerilla lets have a blogging club then! 😝
@b We can go back to the days of web-rings so help readers discover content without having to go through a search engine or news aggregator. 👵🏻
@cercerilla blogrolls! But I meant like a writing bet or something
@b I'll continue to use some of them, like reddit, out of a level of necessity, but wherever possible (like with reddit) will do so anonymously or with purpose-created specific temporary identities designed to limit the amount of information that can be deduced about me.
@cercerilla what changed? I though you enjoyed Reddit?
