Are you able to stop your account from federating but subscribe to people who do federate? In other words, is there a way to create a private account

Yeah, that’s why I’m considering hosting my own, unfederated instance

I’ve been wanting to try pixelfed but I haven’t figured out what to do: start my own for friends or join an existing one.

I heard there were some issues with a dev or something so I haven’t signed up for the original instance yet

Why

JavaScript would be required if any of the media elements require AJAX to work (like the audio).

I don’t believe wget would do what you want

Why don’t you want to visit ultimate guitar? Has it changed in the last ten years since I’ve used in last? It used to be great

So, my information may be outdated, but a given webpage is made up of:

1. HTML - basic structure and content
2. CSS - how it looks
3. Scripting - interactive elements

You could probably fetch the basic parts of the page with wget or curl or something like that. But depending on how the media is obtained, you would likely have issues fetching the audio

Huh, I wasn’t very concerned with your links… but I googled and found out Andy Yen is the founder. That’s alarming

I don’t use proton, but I would be grateful if you could share a link on how Proton sided with fascists.

Also, I use Mullvad for VPN and I host my own email

Unless it’s a necessary service I would decline to use the service.

Please name the service

Google is easy. Microsoft is a PAIN

I just have my own domain (and mail server). If you don’t want to host a mail server (and you shouldn’t), you can get a mail forwarding service to forward all *@domain.tld emails to your email

To my knowledge, there isn’t. But you can ask the person to turn off recall. I’m going to be running 11 in a VM myself so /me shrugs
