I'm not sure whether it makes sense trying to discuss with you but let's try...

You couldn't know how much traffic you saved because you didn't load the ad. The ad could be 1KB, 1MB or 1GB, but because you didn't load it you wouldn't know it's size. Without knowing it's size, you wouldn't be able to calculate the savings.

As mentioned somewhere is in the thread you would have to directly compare two machines visiting the same pages and even then it's probably only approximate because both machines might get served different ads.

Someone should get the ArchiveTeam onto it (if they aren't already)

For syncing I use Syncthing. It's open-source as well and syncs two/multiple devices without the need for cloud-storage

Threads will support the same protocol as Lemmy (which is called ActivityHub), meaning Thread-content is accessible in Lemmy (and other services) and the other way around.

By blocking Threads no content from there will arrive here and the other way around.

The problem is even our politicians don't care about the tax payers money, i.e. https://www.dw.com/en/german-transport-minister-blasted-over-autobahn-toll-debacle/a-51773179

So the government workers in lower positions can't do much because the higher ups don't care...

While that's true, other instances will eventually also need to find a way to make money. And unless you're on the Facebook instance you shouldn't see their ads (unless they inject those ads as posts).

The Facebook crowd can only assimilate us when we switch to their instance. I see a point where new users would prefer a bigger, i.e. Facebookey instance over smaller ones when they don't know anything about the fediverse.

Playing devil's advocate a bit here:

Considering that I rate Facebook as evil as Google, would you support "defederating" Google Mail from other mail services?

In my opinion, the fediverse/ActivityHub is just the underlying protocol to enable people to connect to each other just like SMTP and whether I want to contact someone using a service provider that I don't like is my choice and should not be the choice of my service provider...

Der SWR dagegen hat z.B. teilweise echt entspannte Dokus über Handwerksberufe: https://youtube.com/@Handwerkskunst

Wobei es nicht im Sinne einer klassischen Doku ist, in der viel erklärt wird, es wird eher nur begleitet.

Quite sad indeed... But I guess most of them already got with the subreddit closure :(

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but still: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ (might be slow to load).

 

According to Reddit, the blackout was responsible for the problems. “A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge.
