Holy shit, they don't just ask for your phone number at signup, they ask for your DRIVER'S LICENSE too in case you want to see 18+ shit?! @billblake2018 https://twitter.com/belet_seri/status/1276881149260857345
@billblake2018 Meanwhile, Carrie Lam still insists they still protect free expression 😂
The lemmy.ml site itself and the developers are run by communist Antifa members that censor conservative viewpoints, but the Lemmy software/code is open-source and can federate with any other willing instance. Yeah, go for it if they're willing to host their own forum with it. @earlybird
Yeah this is a problem I've noticed with privacy-focused email services. ProtonMail Bridge exists (for ProtonMail obv) but I have to pay a monthly/yearly fee, wtf @redstarfish What about Disroot tho?
Why the Fediverse is significant, beside privacy
Because big corporations are not forever.
Say about them what you will, but there IS a value in social media, they do satisfy the need, they do scratch that ancient itch of human beings to hear each other and be heard. They do it quite perversely, as a side-effect to filling their shareholders' pockets, but still, as a matter of fact.
The corporations though, do close down for all kinds of reasons.
There was a time before Twitter. Someday Facebook will disappear. Someday, YouTube will go dark.
The Fediverse, in this sense, is a toolkit, that will allow people to rebuild the Internet as we know and love it today in the future, when most companies have gone extinct.
The Internet is not a thing that "just is", it's "what people do". The Fediverse recognizes and embraces this fluid, dynamic nature: every now and then there's new servers that pop up and old that ones go down. It's not really a big deal around here. And it's... beautiful?
What #wiki is this in? @solidsanek

@FimbulK@mastodon.social @tuxcrafting This. Specificly removeddit.com, snew.notabug.io, and ceddit.com. Just replace reddit.com with those
alright I think I'm gonna take away my @hotmail.com email alias now
I've been switching all my accounts, tediously, on the web as recorded on keepass to either my @outlook.ph email (its current alias) or to my @protonmail email
there's still a few holdouts but I hope I can switch them in the future
Now that I’ve seen Joe Biden sniffing Idaho, I’ll never unsee it. Damn you Montana https://twitter.com/johncardillo/status/1273985105824972801 #Biden #Idaho #Montana
