Grow Fediverse<p>Man, I am exposed to SO much less advertising per day now.</p><p>No ads in my social or chats, cuz it's <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a>.<br>No ads in my email, cuz I ditched the big corporate "free" providers for a non profit.<br>No robo calls or txt spam, because i swapped to an <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=XMPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XMPP</span></a> solution and multi-aliased new phone numbers on a custom <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=deGoogled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deGoogled</span></a> ROM (all of which cost less than 1 month of my old cellular bill 🤪 absolutely abhorrent)<br>Only a handful of ads from tv/streaming because i switched to just <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=PBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PBS</span></a> and <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Peertube</span></a><br>No ads on my PC, cuz it's <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> & lots of <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> now</p><p>So much advertising has just dried right up from my life through consciously and aggressively disengaging from known chronic data resellers.</p>
