No, you still need a phone number. IIRC it’s on the roadmap, but not a priority.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I don’t mean to say that running / installing Qubes or Whonix is difficult per se, as a matter of fact I use both on my main machine, rather it’s not very intuitive to set up as, and likely far beyond the threatmodel of, someone brand new to privacy.
That is quite unnecessarily extreme for any threat model. Even if we ignore your bringing of a thermonuclear bomb to this metaphorical fist fight, most social media sites block Tor and require a lot of PII to even begin consuming content, so you’d probably be better off practicing self control and avoiding those sites entirely.

If you’re using a third-party email client, but using a gmail email address, then PGP would stop Google from reading your emails (assuming the private keys aren’t compromised).
If you’re using their email client, then nothing stops them from decrypting your emails if they really wanted to. IIRC, gmail doesn’t natively support PGP anyways though, so you’d have to use a third-party client.

It’s opt-in.
Yeah, the part that makes you money is. Still have to manually disable all of the popups and icons begging you to use it.
You just described every single internet service that you’re not actively paying for.
Difference is those sites don’t necessarily advertise themselves as “privacy respecting”

We need more people like that in the world
62·3 months agoThat is the exact controversy I was referring to. It’s been almost a year and people still bring it up? Jesus.
When did he do that? I’ve seen a lot of mentions about his “good pick” post, but never openly saying something like that.
“You mean we have to let the public use the services they’re paying for? Wtf!”

This feels relatively tame compared to everything else that godforsaken platform has done in the past few months.
