      I have a confession. I tagged you as an “idiot maybe” a few months ago, and it has been my private delight to be reminded at frequent intervals what a good judge of character I am. Thank you, sincerely.

                  Huh turns out I just had to find the “add note” option in Connect. Note added for you.

                  For reference, heres what Connect’s privacy looks like:

                  But I’m sure your app needs to know and share with 3rd parties your location and everything you type in-app in order for you to be a dismissive 3head online.

                    My brother in Christ, YOU asked ME what app I used. What response were you expecting from, “miss me with that horseshit”? Something along the lines of, “Oh, sorry Mr. Godric, sir. I’ll start using a privacy respecting front-end right away!”???

                    While your threat model might have you terrified of the idea that your Lemmy app might be sharing data about you, I do not share that fear. I also have Connect on my device. I like the interface of Boost better, and use it more. Boost has no device permissions, and I haven’t donated so they don’t have financial info. Otherwise, the dev collects crash logs and usage data? I mean, c’mon bro, take a chill pill.

                    I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve found an app that you like - and that it already has the functionality you’re looking for. What I fail to understand is the superiority complex because you use an app that collects less data.

        I did not know that was a feature. Thanks, I’m tagging you as a genius maybe.

        In his case the username is all I need, they’re a tropical ding dong. Although I do hope their tropical isn’t the one that’s about to get their teeth kicked in by another hurricane.
