I live an ad-free life since about 2010. But I do wonder what it’s like to see targeted ads.

I don’t understand how something like that would work on matrix or xmpp. I’m feeling safe for now. With everything happening with digital freedom, I’m afraid someday my digital presence will have to be limited to i2p. There isn’t many services available on it.

Not to say that antifa are terrorists, just to say usually they are oppressing people by false accusations in my experience.
