I really like WAFRN (https://wafrn.net/) which is a Tumblr-inspired platform. I've never been able to get into the more micro-blogging style that Tumblr is known for, but for some reason, I find myself very engaged with WAFRN.

I started my privacy journey last year. My gf at the time, was really into privacy and told me all about data collection and selling. I bushed it off, justifying it as the cost of a using a free platform, until I noticed that topics from our Discord convos would appear on my YouTube recommendations (or I Googled something similar, still creepy none the less). It was so oddly specific that I freaked me out and I almost immediately changed my search engine, browser, email, etc.
When I first joined Lemmy I got a message from Nicole. I instantly knew it was sketchy, but I saw some comments genuinely missing her when she got banned. Overall, there's a small minority that actually meant it but I still can't believe that scams like that have an audience.
