So glad I saw this post I’ve had an 8th gen kindle jammed under a pile of bullshit for quite a while because fuck bezos. Ended up being able to use winter break and now I can use the device without contributing to fascism. Today was a good day!

Indeed, seems the only path forward. Thansk for sharing.

They had to give us something for all that telemetry to keep their entirely educated and tech savy user base on board. 🙄

Its a good suggestion and something I’ve considered. Unfortunately we’re using conduit as our server and that type of integration doesn’t seem to work well outside of synapse. That said I know some people have gotten it working I just need to dig a little deeper. It’s a chore for sure but it seems like the only path forward.

I wish I could convince my giant discord community to go anywhere else. It’s so fucking hard. I’ve built IRC networks and a matrix server. I host every fediverse app imaginable. I hate being attached to this company and my income being reliant on it.
