A no-install, no-config option I built for this purpose: https://rss.diffbot.com

Reeder on iOS and Mac is excellent. Not open source, but lovingly crafted by an indie dev.

There isn’t a 1:1 comparison. But the closest comparison looks like Mastodon is on a bit of a decline at 800k MAU. Bluesky is roughly 400k daily likers.

If, as an employee, you offer your personal laptop or pay for work expenses out of pocket without asking to get it reimbursed, no functioning company will question it or bother.

If you need something for work and they won’t give it to you, then you can’t work. It’s as simple as that.

Gotcha. All I can add is a vote for Plausible. It’s great!

I spun up Plausible for my company site. Pretty straight forward honestly. It’s completely dockerized so there’s not a lot going on.

Your biggest problem is exposing the service on your home server to the internet. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, but if you know what you’re doing it’s possible.

It’s a little hard to imagine for us Americans, but internationally WhatsApp has a thriving unofficial ecosystem of businesses operating solely out of the chat app.

I love to hate on Meta as much as the next guy on Lemmy, but this is probably one of the sounder business decisions Meta has made in awhile.

Just wanted to drop in and say that I love the unique design! It’s a little unhinged maybe but we absolutely need more fun apps like this for the fediverse. Will be trying it out. Thanks for working on it!

+1 for Lemmy.zip! Great folks here and an admin who cares a lot for the community.

This is true for all browsers that have an incognito mode, not just Firefox.

Unless you’re using Tor, there’s not really a way to go 99% incognito.

Makes sense. Could also give the mastodon community a little longer to mature.

I don’t disagree. You’re probably unlikely to find the same people on Mastodon that you followed on Twitter or elsewhere. Despite the growth it’s still a drop in the bucket of global social media users.

If it means anything, I started out with Mastodon hoping to follow popular figures and very quickly stopped caring for that. It was a lot more fun and interesting to talk to normal people with normal lives. But maybe that’s just me.

Who’re you hoping to follow? I might be able to recommend a few folks.

Curating your follows does take a minute in the beginning. This is a good starting point: https://discover.fedified.com/

Now he’s going to pay the bots! 🤣

The Bob Ross Mountain Dew video is incredibly eerie. Don’t think Bob Ross would have ever done anything like that.

Views basically. The number of times your tweet gets shown in someone’s feed.

Tweet impressions. Still pretty high though.

It would need to be on a credit system. $0.01 is going to get eaten up in processing. It would be extra funny to buy 100 fucks for a dollar though.

This… is actually a pretty fucking good idea.
