Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for an Android Fediverse client that does not send user-agent information (device or client details) to servers. Ideally, it should support both Mastodon and Lemmy, or other Fediverse platforms as well.

    Bots can easily fake their user agents, so using them to detect bots is not enough and mostly just puts regular users’ privacy at risk.

      They can, yeah. But they haven’t done it in ages and I don’t see the risk for the user; the IP is way more problematic.
