I’m on grapheneos, when someone seems me a link, I long press until a context moment l menu pops up, then I share to summit. I don’t allow apps to auto-open other apps as its a privacy concern. App developers will use what apps you have available for handling links as a way to build a unique profile of their users.

And you don’t see a problem where the default is that tracking behavior? I shouldn’t have to hunt through settings meticulously just to maintain some semblance of privacy.

When sharing a link to a post from Voyager it sends you to a URL on their server.

As an example, sharing this post from Summit will go to https://sh.itjust.works/post/68040352, but sharing this post from Voyager will go to https://vger.to/sh.itjust.works/post/68040352, which is a private server where we don’t know what this person is doing with the data collected.

I would advise against using Voyager since it tries to track link shares by first directing you to their website first. It made me uncomfortable so I switched to Summit. I had tried interstellar but wasn’t a fan of the layout or how they didn’t have the ability to handle going into cross-posted links on android at least. Also, had to use obtainium to install it. Summit on F-Droid supports the full fediverse. I had tried a fourth but can’t remember its name, I dropped it because it lacked support for piefeed.

I used to use Yattee on my AppleTV awhile back, but it stopped working when all the invidious instances started to have to implement blockers for all the scrappers. I think if you really want to watch YouTube on your TV without ads that Linux will probably be your best bet. Alternatively, you can connect your laptop and use FreeTube via HDMI, I do that occasionally. i don’t know about those other apps.

If you’re really bent on getting an AppleTV and you live near an Apple store, you can buy one, try it out for a fee data and return it if it’s not to your liking. I believe that Apple has a 14 day return window, but double check just to make sure.

Have you tried raping an animal? I hear that’s how you shoot to the top of the list now.
