Any change should be done gradually i think. If the elder person notices that what shes watching is suddenly not the shows she subscribed to. Then she will clam up and refuse to watch the new shows unt OP bring back her “account”.

I use cloudhiker and webtoll. It’s fairly decent. Though occasionally I get time capsule sites, like personal blogs from the 2000s in geocities. Yes, try it and see with your own eyes.

Sorry for the late reply. I was jumping from instance to instance.

Thi is now my app ranking

1. Connect for Lemmy
2. Jerboa
3. Liftoff for Lemmy
4. Firefox browser (mobile eeb display for lemmy is underrated)
5. Wefwef (it has no block instance and user option, yet)

That’s what started me too. Then it snowballed as i tried every other app available to install. And now i cannot go back.

Besides the unsettling idea that we are like a message board in public display. It’s good to know that our data are somewhat immune to being monetized. .

What are the chances that the instance owners join together and buid a cartel or corporation. Then sells our data.
