Im just a noob thats interested. I havent tried it yet. But ive found a couple guides.
Check out the self hosting communities. Ill see if i can find the one im thinking of but Lemmy also has an official guide in the documentation.
Ah, so some websites and apps will employ methods of data collection to learn things about you and then either use that information to feed you ads or sell it to other companies (or both). A lot of us prefer to keep what we can private and not be tracked so thoroughly.
Companies will build profiles on you that learn your likes, dislikes, political leanings, relationship status, gender, race, health issues, etc etc.
Even if some people are fine with being tracked another issue is that many companies have poor security and your data can be stolen in breaches by bad actors or sold to bad actors.

It might be the worst app i have installed in this regard.
Im using the Tracker Control app to see (and block) trackers, ads, etc.
EDIT: Some say this is due to visiting links within the app and using the in-app browser. I will open links on the external browser and find out.
Edit2: I disabled the in-app browser and reset the Tracker Control findings but am still finding lots of trackers according to Tracker Control.

Snapchat is one of the most ass apps there ever was. Blows my mind people still use it.
Here's a picture of me riding my '94 KDX200.
Every year there is a big "dual sport" trail ride that utilizes a lot of private land in the area. It's good fun.
This picture was last year.
This argument is the same as "Lemmy=tankies".
So i guess were all tankies because were on here.
