Tetanus is fucking terrifying. I'm happy to have chemicals to protect me from that.

I'm expecting the most common phrase out of Mark Meadow's mouth the next few months will be "plea deal"

Both. The text data is in the database of all instances that are federated. Your account credentials are only stored on the instance you're registered to.

Because this is not censorship. You're free to browse any defederated community. You're not censored, they're not censored. All the content is perfectly viewable on the fediverse.

Go join another instance. You can't enter somebody else's house and complain about how they don't want to invite the neighbor over as well. That's not censorship. Go to the neighbors house if you want to hang out with them.

But you've been explained this multiple times, so I'll leave it at this. Ignorance is not bliss.

The word "censorship" has lost all meaning

Nowhere in that link does it say what you're saying. Kbin was not named after the instance, but sbin. The instance is named after the gun because apparently it sounds nice in Polish.

If you're not carrying cooked spaghetti in your pocket I don't trust you.

Maybe I'm ignorant but I've felt like phones haven't needed screen protectors for a while.. I've had a GS9 for years with no screen protector and I have a very very minor scratch that can only be seen with the screen off and that's it.

I've never shattered a phone screen before, am I just an outlier?

The dev is not tracking anything. Google ads is.. and like the other comment said if you have Google Play on an android phone then you're being tracked.

I'd wager most people complaining about sync also have a Gmail account or shop on Amazon, or watch YouTube, or a million other equally or more invasive stuff.
