Email analogy is good to explain the systems architecture, but it still doesn't communicate ethics of proper use (decentralization). Just look how many people have gmail or outlook as their mail account.

As all adblocking solutions, Yay from the user, Nay from the corporate.

Do you know of any guides on how to do the same (vpn and related config)? I'm trying something similar in my home setup.

You mean lemmy as an onion service? Onion addresses aren't reachable unless you have Tor enabled. Won't that create a parallel darknet fediverse on Tor network that doesn't interact with clearnet fediverse?

It's like saying the police is preparing for thieves robbing the bank or the fire department preparing for a wildfire. It's part of their job and it would be stranger not to have a contingency plan.

I told a friend this way:

... It means there are many sites that work like reddit, but they also communicate / sync each other. That means you pick one of them for logging in and you can navigate all the others as well, no extra account.

It got complicated with beehaw defederating stuff, but I hope they refederate again when their needs are met (better mod tools).

I despise auto-play, especially on YouTube. Let me advance when I feel like. Not everything is a party music playlist!
