“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

hey my guy…

you dropped this /s

MAGA will say this was an example of government “waste and corruption”.

“Thank Obama”

Although I do respect the problem, and I accept there will always be a loose cog somewhere that could be exploited or abused, the fear o if is really sociaty/country based.

If you live in a “decent-wish” country with a strong set of laws, and those laws put you under the microscope or you have something g to hide, I’ve come to the personal realization that it’s not really as much of a problem as some make it out to be.

The problem with Discord, and most messaging/communication applications isn’t their usability, but the reach and adoption rate…

Unfortunately you’re not going to move normies away from discord until discord screws up.

Isn’t this the guy Trump praised way back when?

“ICC is a criminal organization!”

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole hard a couple years back, and I must say, coming out the other end, surveillance integration and technological evolution aren’t bad per se, l. The usage, or rather the effect to wich some people are using it is the problem.

Well, I have some pieces of hardware that, unfortunately, simply don’t work/aren’t developed yet on Linux.

Don’t get me wrong, I tried.

A couple days back I spun up a fresh install on both machines and methodicly tried to install every system step by step, but some of the solutions available simply don’t fit my setup or are still way too cumbersome to be effectively used.

I will, most probably, migrate all my other “simpler” options gradually though.

I’m actually enjoying mastodon more than bsky…

is it that bad?

I’ve been in this argument before, and despite not being one to bolster or support piracy, the EU or National alternatives are non-existant.

So yes, i will use piracy to access the content.

I see…

Well, opting for a solution rather than other is mostly a personal decisison.

You need to weight the pros and cons for yourself.

Instructions unclear.

You say repost again?

more like mastodon and lemmy, maybe bluesky, over META and reddit.

I don’t think i’ve looked at pleroma.

Theres a Fork still being worked on.

I thought so to, until i was sent this.

Revanced Extended

I have to say, i am quite impressed with mastodon already, hopefully they add some QOL like native GIF usage etc.

Bluesky i’m a little bit on the fence about, but i got to say i’m inclined to give it a try

It’s perfectly understandable, and it wouldn’t be the internet if someone didn’t throw some vitriol my way!

I’m not mad, annoyed or pissed, i’m just happy that i can find engagement, positive or not in my very first post!

I’m very hopefull and confident that i’m doing the right thing, even if i’m having reddit withdrawls symptons already!

But i’ll get trough them!

Thank you!!!

The context, in this case, is quite important.

It feels like you locked in on that sentence and didn’t read the thred.

That’s the same thing as walking into a conversation and taking it entirely out of context before dropping a nuke on the subject.

I re-read my comment, and considering the whole context, i cannot see how someone would think i was saying i was leaving, particularly with the sentence that comes before.

This is the internet though.

I hope you have a great day.

like i said in my post, EU solutions are somewhat behind on its development, but the core tennants seem to be much better than their EU counterparts.

There will be limitations and cumbersome situations, but i was there when gmail started and it was absolute garbage… People using it, commiting to it, gave them the userbase and funds to develop their solutions.
