Most websites have Google Analytics installed to help track their details.

I used to do this. It expired on my website some years ago, so I fixed it.

It then expired again. Always updating their tech. I was too busy to give a fuck that second time, so I still haven’t fixed it. My followers don’t care about Google anymore. And we’re not based on advertisers.

I don’t track numbers on my website anymore. I just post based on vibes. I write what I want to and I observe the feedback on any medium that people provide it. And now there’s Nostr.

So I go on vibes. Not numbers.

This is the way.

a very organic approach

Vibes are high!

I put all my sites behind Cloudflare now because that is the only one with good bot protection and it has analytics built in.

That’s the way to go

This is the way. Less tracking and more connecting.

Vibes is how we process more data than any spreadsheet could handle

I recently switched to unami. You can even host it from a home server like an umbrel so you don't share the data with any company https://umami.is/

Love the vibe-first approach! It’s refreshing to see someone just going with the flow and connecting in a more authentic way. Numbers are cool, but real engagement and feedback matter more. Keep doing you!

I think if you want Google Analytics without the tracking, Matamo might be an option.

I use Ackee on my personal website, so I can track which posts are read the most, and how people found my site. Ackee si a selfhosted tracker, and it does not collect any sensitive information from users. It does not store cookes on users' browser, so it is totally safe. This is the project's websi...

Yeah, we don’t track our visitors either. We know we’re on the right path. We don’t need Google.

I offer revenue sharing to creators. While I don't need GA to track the revenue, it still seems useful to track the number of readers and provide that to those who contribute, but I'm always looking for other ways to do things...

I consider Google to be a hostile enemy of the human spirit. Consider them dangerous and actively try and avoid them at all costs. Their consistent censorship and misalignment of weighted search results should be considered a crime against humanity. We don't hate Google nearly enough.

Analytics is drugs from hell. I'm sober for 3 years now. Using self-hosted Influx since.

A publisher can infest webpages with any number of trackers - sometimes unknowingly. ... It is for them to make sure they don’t use “plug and play” code - such as Google Analytics. It saves the readers from hidden profiling and pesky advertisements. Freedom is not only a readers’ right, i...

Why feed bots at all? “almost 50% of internet traffic comes from non-human sources” https://www.imperva.com/resources/resource-library/reports/2024-bad-bot-report/

Vibes and zaps 👌

This is the way 🙏

There are good alternatives that help you understand your impact without tracking every detail of your visitors. I am opposed to GA particularly, but it can help to gain some insights through other tools.

this is very refreshing! I used to feel guilty for not following the Google SEO or any SEO because I feel I had to follow what every gurus on the internet is doing. I even took the time to record a "note to myself" how to set-up my tracking! But at the end of the day, I asked myself, why on Earth am...
