I’m using BasicSync since a few weeks, the location permission is completely optional. This is what the app says:

Location permissions are optional and are only needed when restricting allowed Wi-Fi networks. Even if the permissions are granted, they will not be used unless there are allowed Wi-Fi networks configured.

Looks like your ‘y’ key isn’t working. Might wanna look into it.

The @ is only required for making posts on Lemmy from Mastodon, not replies AFAIK.

For what it’s worth, it is now possible to delete your threads account without also deleting your instagram account.

Not to discredit your arguement but isn’t Signal also centralised?

It’s so ridiculous when corporations steal everyone’s work for their own profit, no one bats an eye but when a group of individuals do the same to make education and knowledge free for everyone it’s somehow illegal, unethical, immoral and what not.

All of the games ever played on lichess along with puzzles, evaluations etc are also open and free to download at database.lichess.org

The site’s founder and lead developer Thibault also often streams the development of the site on his Twitch channel!

I’m honestly suprised sometimes at how free, open and transparent this site is, truly an inspiration for anyone looking to build an ethical platform.
