i was referring to germany in the 30s and 40s… but yeah, look at the governments of italy and hungary (and previously poland)

germany making laws suppressing speech and criminalising free thought? never seen that before

fediverse bringing back bulletin boards and forums would be a great thing.

the internet became a worse place when we lost bulletin boards and forums and got reddit and ai.

oh i do like elk.zone and i do use fediverse, i just find myself more active on bsky just because i follow lots more. i have accounts on both and share on both for different reasons.

personally i prefer bluesky just because the interface is more natural to me (and it’s just easier - but also because aew twitter is there and there’s more fandoms over on it) but i wish more people would embrace bridgyfed so that we don’t have to choose.

factually incorrect. elon would never be a giver

also our wonderful admin kaity did what the lemmy devs couldn’t and nuked the dm spam :)

instance friendly link for those on other instances :)

handing in all my assignments on zip disk at university. the nostalgia.

none of these transphobic losers who use autism to attack trans people even gives a flip about autistic people

admittedly i do, which is one of the reasons i tend to like bsky more.

don’t get me wrong, mastodon is fun but there’s just something about bsky that’s so easy to use.

another reason why i like elk.zone

we just need a foxkeh-ified version of the librewolf logo now

The problem is they continue to allow Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, to remain on the board.

One wonders why the rest of the Proton Foundation hasn’t stepped in and gotten rid of Andy; I assume it’s just because they don’t actually care about privacy, they’re just cryptonerds.

Switched to Mullvad for VPN, Baikal for calendar and contacts, Tuta for professional mail, and considering Bitwarden or Buttercup for a password manager

Mullvad (or Mullvad on a router with Adguard)

Idc if I likes Trump or not (even though Trump is garbage); but I do care that he says the Republicans - the party that has spent years attacking encryption and privacy, who has sued to obtain private medical records of women and trans people who see doctors, and who is funded by billionaire big tech moguls - is the better option for privacy.

Also just taking ANY position for a leader of the US - one of the biggest parties to the Five Eyes agreement - just leaves a bad taste.

I’m assuming replies to the post would be replies in Lemmy?

How does it show up in Lemmy if someone on Mastodon tags a Lemmy instance? Just curious.

Wasn’t a federated Amazon just a mall, in a way?
