I know it’s not a perfect solution but considering the options, it’s better to “sell” my attention to corporate ads in exchange of planting trees than nothing. Even then, I rarely see ads after whitelisting the site.

As far as my research goes, Ecosia seems quite reputable and I support their mission. If they’re proven to be otherwise in the future, I won’t have a problem to jump ship.

Thanks, very helpful! What about posts from instance B and comments in instance B post? I’m assuming instance B users can see both comments from instance A users and instance C users but for them (instance A and C users), they can only see their respective instance users’ comments and instance B users’ comments?

I do this too. Especially weeks/months/years old post that ask IT-related question that I found in the first place from search engine because I was trying to find the answer. I feel the obligation to leave a reply after I found the solution.
