Sooner or later we’re gonna have to bypass the Great Firewall of America by VPNing into China

As a student there is no way I am skipping a day’s worth of classes and risking my grade for a single protest that’s probably not going to do shit similar to the other protests I’ve been to that didn’t do shit

More like 2 days and money for a car or bus + gas, depending on where in the state you live

From what I see here it can automatically encrypt incoming emails with PGP, which I know Fastmail doesn’t have this, and the advantage would be that you get security similar to Protonmail but you’re not locked into their clients.

Mailbox.org works with IMAP so you can use a regular email program. The mailbox is not encrypted by default but I saw that there’s an option to enable it involving PGP keys.

IMO they should be decriminalized for personal use, but having corporations selling hard drugs is a terrible idea

Using AI like Deepseek is a lot easier than shifting through 50 search results, if the question is for a relatively new technology though then it usually doesn’t work

Federated Github? That’s… git.

Github is a forge with features like issues, pull requests, project planning, documentation, project sites, and automation, so not really.

I like soy better

Yes I’ve seen a lot defending TSA on Instagram as well

They claim to be anarchist and I’ve seen a lot of users from there criticize Democrats, although they hate Marxists also, so I’m not sure. They’re also one of the few instances that federates with Hexbear, but they do block Lemmygrad.

For my ebike I use OSMAnd with Brouter

If by “diverse” you mean “has western conservatives”, then considering how the entire concept of the fediverse is progressive, you’re not going to find many of them here. On Reddit, there’s r/AskPolitics which overall leans liberal and is US centric but is more open to discussion than other subreddits. There’s some other debate subreddits as well which you might be interested in. They’re helpful for developing political views, but after that hearing the same BS from people who have fundamentally different values gets tiring and people leave so that’s why there aren’t many of those spaces.

If you’re open to other viewpoints that are opposed to both Republican and Democrat, leftist instances like lemmy.ml, Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and dbzer0 have that, and they can have very different stances on other issues as well (i.e. Lemmygrad vs dbzer0). They can still be echo-chambery (which is hard to avoid) but they also tend to have more users that are interested in intellectual debate.

As far as what instance actually has the most diverse points of view, I’d say lemm.ee which federates with basically everybody and I’ve seen users there from all over the political spectrum. However, there’s isn’t much in terms of political discussion there compared to other instances.

It works on my phone, I’ve been using it for years. I’m currently using it off of Obtainium though.

And it will be running on Deepin also

Not at all, I don’t eat eggs regularly

The wealthy practically control both parties in government and the country is full of Nazis, a Democrat winning would have only delayed the inevitable that hasn’t already happened yet

people on Rednote are actually nice though, whereas Truth Social is full of MAGA Nazis

Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I’m not sure how else you can use the protocol

(if so, then assuming everything is on Odysee then it’s about as federated as Bluesky)

Trump doing tons of shit was the first thing I saw. The “Migrants weep in Mexico as Trump admin cancels all appointments for Biden’s CBP One app immediately after swearing in” one in particular though, they’re not even pretending to not be horrible people anymore.

Gab is largely similar right now but in Twitter format instead, and people posting super Christiany stuff also. Apparently their founder was one of the people resharing the Elon salute, while r/Conservative likes to pretend they aren’t Nazis while still being Nazis
