TV’s have become privacy nightmares in recent days.

One option would be any TV that works then simply keep it offline and stream from a device that allows you to have more control over your privacy.

If you’re wanting to actually use a smart TV’s functions, I think NextDNS can be set up to block most of the telemetry on whichever smart TV you have.

How about no ads? Once you force ads into something I use or make it impossible for me to block them, it is time to find an alternative.

Before Reddit killed Apollo, Lemmy was really lacking in daily content. Now we’ve reached a point where I can open the app multiple times a day and see new content.

Signal is by far much easier to get family/friends to use than Matrix or Session. Downloaded it to my parents’ phones and told them this is how you contact me.

Either way. This would be a win-win for the Fediverse. Allows new people to hear about it and validates Mastadon as an alternative to Twitter and Threads.

Oh yeah. Maybe in the next update, seems pretty risky right now to turn on 2FA.

I had to do it in the mobile browser. In settings when you turn on 2FA, a button appears above the checkbox. I tapped it in my mobile browser and it opened my authenticator app.
