@hund
Do you know if there is any more privacy-aware alternative tool for this?

While the person seemed eager to avoid any confrontation and close the issue, I can see the value in the practice of collecting usage data. Nobody seems to bring up any alternative, tho. Are we really forced to use these services?

I know I've mentioned it recently but, I'll say it again: I'm glad to see all the new faces and introductory toots for all the new #fosstodon members. A "thanks" to all of our existing members and vets for helping field some of the questions and welcome the new members. It's very helpful and much appreciated. 😀

This made us laugh today. Have a wonderful Friday!
