Doing any of the following will result in a ban. You're welcome to reregister after a ban.
No ads, no third-party tracking. Mostly no first-party tracking either, other than the obvious to make it all work. There may be some extra data kept (eg. access IP). I promise to never give it to anyone else, not even police/court/government, and if I figure out how to disable it and decide that it won't be useful (for dealing with DoS/etc.), I'll do that.
I have opted to load jquery from its source rather than from 1st party, because 1) if I'm depending on it anyway, might as well be clear about it, and 2) I recommend getting a proper client instead of using the web frontend anyway. Other than that, there should be no third-party content or connection involved.
Amendment: I have since discovered that images, including avatars, are loaded from remote pods, and that they may issue cookies (likely Cloudflare or something). I won't maintain a list of which pods do, as that's a sonic-speed target, instead I simply recommend rejecting all third-party cookies (and all third-party content bar images).
