I am hating all the ADs on trakt.tv. I was thinking of moving to icheckmovies or letterboxd and then wondered if there was a fediverse equivalent. I looked around but found nothing so far.

Even if there's no fediverse equivalent, an open source or even just a moderately privacy respecting one would be nice.

Haven't used it myself and it seems to be in relatively early development, but Movary might be worth a look then.

Edit: An alternative that is not open source, but still privacy respecting and a bit more featureful might be rate.house:

Hey, I'm a current trackt user and I'm curious what you don't like about trackt?

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't get me wrong, its pretry good all around. Its privacy policy isn't so bad either, as it seems it only shares your watch history with advertisers and I'm willing to give them that. Its just that if there's an alternative that doesn't do any if that I'd take it.

Also, Trakt seems to be one of the first big ones of its kind, so I fear that it could get bought off in the future and become an actual privacy nightmare.
