Anonymity is part of fighting censorship. State actors will try to undermine that.

Maybe masking VPNs ? Is that even a possibility? Like how people can mask something as Chrome already.

For Amazon the best replacement would be Bol.com if you’re in the Benelux. If not, shop locally (except for malls).

Some people don’t realise it immediately, though. What would you say for that one?

Good move of Nepal to ban Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp, VK, WeChat, as well as Facebook, LinkedIn, Facebook Messenger, and Discord.

That said, Mastodon and Signal also being included, is dumb.

So, what you’re saying, is that one would have to use an e-sim rather than physical sim? To avoid a zero-day exploit? I find that hard to believe.

That’s fucking scary. Trump, Thiel, and every single fascist ally of him needs to get a treatment of eternal sleep.

Everyone’s*.

When Trump does something, the rest of the world experiences the antisocial oligarch pedo’s ruffles.

Hold up, accessing Signal?

Thiel is scum and needs to pass away for his crimes instigating a fascist police state.

Ooo, a GrapheneOS phone would be awesome.

For-profit is not a silly thing to object to. When the software has profit as motive, they gain an incentive to still snoop on data and sell it.

Wouldn’t LibreOffice be a better option for replacing Google Docs?

Hmm, that actually sounds pretty plausible. I think it’s also being propped up and bought (read: corruption) by Thiel’s fascist company.

Huh, link to their explanation?

Hmm… I wonder… does GrapheneOS work on the Fairphone?

There’s no russophobia when that country would want you killed for opposing authoritarianism. Or when that country routinely invades Europe. Or when it shoots down a plane and doesn’t apologise nor extradite the criminals who did it (Girkin and Putler).

Or when it opposes your very existence as a person. Or when it infects your people with the disease of far-right hatred. And I could go on. Fuck Putler’s Russia.

It won’t become an alternative if we don’t move. I think PeerTube can actually work regarding monetisation - having a decentralised Patreon alternative would help along, for example.

Vimeo is alright, but it’s US-based. I don’t trust far-right censorship to not creep up there.

Odysee is good design-wise, but it’s full of hatred. Also, situated in the US.

Bandcamp, also situated in the US. No thanks.

I mean, there’s Patreon, but that’s American. It’s in San Francisco in California though, which is at least not Trumpland. But with how things are headed, I’d be cautious.

Liberapay exists, but it uses Paypal, which is even scummier than Visa and Mastercard. Uses Stripe too, which is Irish-American (HQ in both countries).

If there’s a FOSS decentralised* Patreon alternative that would support Wero, cash, and Monero, I could foreseee that having a ton of potential.

• with the HQ of development or whatever being in a country that’s resistant against censorship.
