  • I'm not sure but maybe they use specific programs that aren't available on Linux and the alternatives aren't enough ( or even don't exist )

  • On desktop I use Mercury Browser - a Firefox fork - but I'm not sure how " privacy focused " it is other than that it's Firefox based

  • You mean AI ? I rarely use it

  • Lemmy and Maatodon clearly accept left-wing values more than right-wing

  • Indeed I have never bought something online

    • If you don't have a specific interest and/or lack the skill of finding new content that you like , RSS mostly won't help you unless it has a " suggestion " feature , while on ActivityPub ( or any other social media ) you can find new content that might or might not suit you just by browsing
