Given your sunny disposition, I’ll politely decline.

Most countries. The bigger concern is typically whether they can compell them to keep logs, which not all can. Sweden (I believe) is one where they can compell a company to share logs, but not keep logs

I like it! Bookmarking for future reference, since it seems helpful. Only thing I’d noticed that I think would be a good addition: Some kind of XMPP client, at least one of them. I use Dino on desktop primarily (fairly modern UI, has the core features in, but is made for GNOME so looks a bit funky on anything else), but Kaidan, Pidgin, and a few others exist.

This is what I do. I use strawberry on desktop, and all of it is linked to ListenBrainz for recommendations

For comparability with each other, this table from Hagezi’s block list on github is a good reference

Honestly the difference mostly comes down to the software you use, from what I can tell. Generally if you use an extension it will be more comprehensive in the blocking, since some sites (like YouTube) serve ads from their own domains.

Also, the Adblock format is what’s used by a lot of the software that blocks ads at a DNS level, at least that consumers will use. Per the table it supports Pi-hole, AdGuard, AdGuard Home, eBlocker, uBlock Origin, Brave (only in aggressive mode), AdNauseam, and Little Snitch Mini, which is pretty comprehensive.

Aside that there’s hosts if you want to do it on a Linux desktop. I don’t recommend that, as you need to manually update the list every so often, though I’m sure it could be automated if you really want to.

Personally I just shoved one of Hagezi’s into AdGuard Home and called it a day. I check it about once a week to see what domains are getting pinged most, and block any suspicious ones.

Edit: No idea why the table condensed that much in the picture, removing it since it’s not really useful if you can’t see the whole table

I mean, SL took off enough that it’s still here. A lot of F2P MMOs from around then aren’t really around anymore at all, I can only think of 2 others.

It may not be one of the big MMOs, but an estimated 600k MAU isn’t anything to sneeze at either.

I use org-roam (similar to Obsidian) to do that, the graph is neat for it! I only personally go to metamours, but I might pass an Obsidian vault around to see how deep that rabbit hole goes.
