How private is the CMF watch? (lemmy.zip)
 

So, my old Pixel Watch 2 broke and now I'm looking for a replacement, and in the time since I got the Pixel Watch 2 I've started to care more about privacy, open source, repairability, longevity, etc. So I've been looking at two smartwatch replacements, the PineTime, and the CMF Watch Pro 3. I like the idea and values of the PineTime, but I like the aesthetic of the CMF watch more. I can't find any resources on how the privacy of CMF/Nothing is though, so, which of the two would you recommend?

(I mainly use my smartwatch for notifications, checking time/weather)

/e/OS or GrapheneOS? (Pixel 7 Pro) (lemmy.zip)
 

So, I'm looking to maybe possibly use a more secure OS for my phone, and I'm torn between these two. I'm mainly looking at Privacy for my main concern, though security never hurts obviously, and also app compatibility and ease of use. I'm also considering a Fairphone for my next phone down the line, and I'd probably have to go with /e/OS for that, so would it be worth it to just go with that now? Or change later?

Maybe this is a dumb question. I've always been a lurker on social media, but I really want to help the Fediverse grow, and I've never been sure of how to engage with social media communities without feeling like I'm not contributing anything of value. What types of posts/comments/interactions are most needed on the Fediverse? Also, what are some tips on becoming less nervous to interact online? Sorry if this isn't the right community to post to, wasn't sure where to ask this.

Best Peertube instance for viewing? (lemmy.zip)
 

So for some reason my account on Freediverse isn't loading, so I'm looking for a new instance. I don't post anything, I'm just using it to remote subscribe and have my subscriptions. What would be the best instances for this?

Edit: I'm looking for a Peertube instance, something I can sign into the Peertube app with. Though I'm open to looking into other options! :)

Proton or Tuta? (lemmy.zip)
 

So, I've been de-googling, and moved my email and calendar to Proton, and I've been using their VPN for a while as well. I really like it, and it works extremely well for me.

But I am slightly annoyed by Proton's choice to stop posting to Mastodon, and their CEO's Trump comments. And I do like Tuta's support for the Fediverse, and their better open-source implementation. But I'm wondering if it's worth it to bother switching again. I tried making a ones month payment to try out both, and my card doesn't want to pay for Tuta (It's finicky about stuff outside the US).

So would it be better to just stick with Proton? Or try to manage to go over to Tuta?
