This is going to happen with every large centralized service, especially if they let you use it for free. These services end up being expensive to run.

The only real solution is to use something decentralized. You're already on Lemmy so I assume you already know this. Matrix is decent (not perfect, but it's pretty good) and it's easily self-hostable using Tuwunel.

Tuwunel should not be recommended to new users.

Keep in mind the claim of being official is not true: this is a claim by one of the former co-maintainers of conduwuit, to claim legitimacy over other projects like continuwuity. Additionally, tuwunel's maintainer has openly made threats against the maintainers of continuwuity, aswell as being formally banned from the foundation for actively abusing protocol exploits. I'm not sure I'd trust a project primarily maintained by them for these reasons. Additionally, it's maintainer appears to currently also be pushing for publishing how to exploit the security vulnerabilities from the upcoming security release.

— aur tuwunel-git, corroborated by nex (CoI: continuwuity maintainer; has received death thrrats from tuwunel developers) in #offtopic:continuwuity.org a few upgrades ago

Alreeady on Matrix, too, of course. And my main social is Mastodon.

I've purged Meta, Microsoft, Google, Sony, all of them. Heck, I'll even be lookin in to alternative GPUs for the next build, and how well I can run things on RISC-V rather than x64 or ARM.
