The fediverse awaits them with open arms. They just need use closed source, censorship prone social media 🀷

Anti Commercial-AI license

Funnily enough the largest lemmy instance don't allow you to use their platform with VPN enabled, unless they've changed policy in last 6 months

There’s also the other part of this concerning VPNs. While many are using VPNs purely to access garbage social media, using (good) VPNs can help protect your privacy. So I would argue that the fediverse should embrace and support VPNs. It’s always possible that a data center where an instance is hosted gets raided and IP addresses taken and used against users.

I think it's time to start carrying meshtastic devices.

I really should start promoting my FOSS decentralised sharing protocol & implementation. You could build a twitter or facebook on top of it for example.

You're talking about mastodon and lemmy, right?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

No it's a decentralised secure takedown safe sharing protocol. So that, for example, you can publish things your government does not like.

How do mastodon and lemmy not solve that?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You can't share any kind of data there.

Is it published somewhere? I'm interested

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yes here you can find installation information (if you can forward a port to you PC then it's quite simple to set up), whitepaper, explanations etc.

I also made !tenfingers@lemmy.mindoki.com (https://lemmy.mindoki.com/c/tenfingers)

I'm very interested in feedback so if you do check it out, even superficially, I'd love to know what you think about it.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Link is broken btw, it should be tenfingers. I'll check it out in a bit

Thanks, fixed!
