I'm so sorry I had to leave. Here's the reasons: #1, they use javascript, I
always have to temporarily allow it. I did post a message about that and the
exact wording. Then I saw something called newrelic, that lurks there, I
could block that and usually the site would run ok, they have some kind of
script running, occasionally a message pops up about a script being busy, but
I also believe they're a tracker. Then yesterday, when I was on the #chat
thread, I accidentally did a right click and saw goo analytics, soundcloud,
and one other site lurking there. This is all revealed through NoScript.
What I wanna know is, if I go to a page and as quickly as possible, block goo
and whateve r, if I have successfully prevented them from getting in. For the
past few days I've been using Tor, but before that I used IceCat, but NEVER
saw goo at D, except once on another pod, it was on the front page at The
RealTalk, it was a picture of a cup of coffee, if I remember right, and there
was some link to goo on that, goo graphics, if I recall right, but I hadn't
seen goo anyplace else on any D pod I've been on.
At that time I was on the Mac using FF, but NEVER suspected goo would be on
any pod, though I was told by someone, if we make our posts public, somehow
goo gets them, but I think so do the other search sites.
So, being this thread is about GNU Social, I should include that I went to
some sites to see what lurks there, it seems there are pods like D. I will
find one to try and HOPE they don't allow goo, but if they use javascript,
then it seems the other evil stuff is more likely to be there.
The net is all I have for socialization, but constantly dodging those sneaky
things is causing me too much stress. I don't know if I'll try another D pod
or go back to RealTalk or what but I have to get on IRC and go to the Tor
group and ask them some questions, then I'm gonna contact some other people
about this sneaky entrapment stuff.
Sometime today I'll return to the GNU Social page and see if anything looks
good to try.
I think we got off track on this thread, so, I offer my apologies to the OP,
though others mentioned D here too. We could discuss this in my thread. I'd
really love to chat with you somewhere and keep you as a friend. There's a
few others on D I would have liked to remain friends with too.
