@ryo Some other fedi user mentioned it earlier, but it's really embarrassing that LibLeft Unix trannies are hosting shit on their own self hosted sites while many of the AuthRight and LibRight folks (the ones who actually get deplatformed by big tech) are using inferior, centralized (or fake decentralized) platforms that are cuckflared, hosted on AWS, and/or are relying on APIs from Big Tech like ReCaptcha or Google Analytics. And these freeze-peach platforms just end up cucking out eventually.

@xianc78 @ryo My read is that the right leaning folks only take up tech matters out of necessity (from being banned constantly) rather than from an innate interest in tech. The UNIX trannies, with their hilariously typically hyper-masculine brains, of course have spent years tinkering in software so none of this is surprising to me.

@wrongthink @xianc78 Oh right, one thing I forgot is that the UNIX trannies use things like (usually self-hosted) XMPP servers to communicate with each other, while the right leaning folks are using things like Telegram.

Which is why I'm so lonely in chat rooms...

Also, most of the right leaning folks tend to be boomers, while the left leaning folks are typically millenials.
Millenials grew up with tech, have seen tech evolve as they grew up.
Boomers on the other hand generally tend to refuse to understand tech, so of course the left is going to spend years tinkering in software.

@ryo @wrongthink Telegram is especially egregious because I've heard that many agorists are doing counter-economic trading on there of all places. I better hope that these people signed up using burner phones because God knows if Telegram will start reporting shit to the IRS (or their nation's equivalent).

>Also, most of the right leaning folks tend to be boomers, while the left leaning folks are typically millenials.
Well, I have no sympathy for the boomercons and MAGAtards. They keep on falling for shitty scams but they never learn. They only hear about these alt-tech platforms because their favorite AM radio host mentions it (the talk show host my conservative dad listens to constantly shills Rumble as THE free speech platform), but I expect more from the younger "dissident right" crowd, but it seems like they don't know much about tech outside of video production and building/upgrading gaming PCs. The closest thing to self-hosting they could ever do is run a Minecraft server.

@xianc78 @wrongthink Well, I'm LibRight, and I understand technology as much as LibLeft does.
I think I at one point even said that when it comes to technology, I'd side with the LibLeft, otherwise I'm LibRight.

Always annoying how they keep going like "REEEE!! I GOT BANNED FROM BIG TECH!! FOLLOW ME ON THIS WHOLE LIST OF ALT TECH PLATFORMS THAT ARE UNDER A WATCHFUL EYE OF BIG TECH!!".
I went to these platforms under sockpuppet accounts, I kept recommending them to just set up their own Fedi instances, websites, mail servers, XMPP servers, and whatnot, and all I got in return was "TEEHEE!! How do you think we would ever attract an audience on self hosted garbage!? LULZ!!".
So at one point I just gave up on them, deleted my accounts from these platforms, and decided I'd just go my own way instead.

Also, MAGAtards are just AuthRight, as they actually believe in a system of government unlike the entire libertarian side which is all about having no government at all.

@ryo @wrongthink
>all I got in return was "TEEHEE!! How do you think we would ever attract an audience on self hosted garbage!? LULZ!!".
That's why you host exclusive content on there. Styxhexenhammer, despite being a total retard and unworthy of the "libertarian" label, hosts bonus videos exclusively on his alt-tech accounts. Just do the same but on your own site.

But when they do have their own sites, it's always some shitty WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace garbage with Big Tech APIs (I think most Wordpress themes have them) and it's usually just links and/or a front-end for their merch store. For the love of God, HTML isn't that hard. You can even download HTML+CSS templates (just check for any Big Tech JS/CSS). You're not writing a program, you're just hosting document files on a computer connected to the internet. Unless you're also making a back-end for the site, it's not that complicated.

>Also, MAGAtards are just AuthRight

I know, but my point is is that everyone who wants to host content should try to self-host, regardless of political ideology.

@xianc78 @wrongthink Having your own website just as a way to post soycial media links to and have a merch store is really a waste of server space to be honest.
The point of having a website is that it's as censorship resistant as you can get, so we should have seen things like "Here is my article on my website, this is what I have to say" on SNS.
Instead they do it like "here's a JewTube embed, don't forget to follow me on all the alt tech platforms while I'll continue to use JewTube as the sole platform I'm actually active on myself TEEHEE".
@ryo
@wrongthink @xianc78
Just use linktree or carrd if you're going to be a slave to the system tbh instead of spending money and server space for "here's my social media pages".

@PhenomX6 @wrongthink @ryo You can just list your links on a pastebin or on txti.es if you want to be that simple. I know a lot of them have those kind of sites because they purchased a custom domain for business emails and they decided that they might as well have a website too but don't know what to put on there so they just put links to all their profiles.
