Yeah, Brave's CEO is Brendan Eich. That put me off right there. Mozilla aren't perfect, but at least they kicked him to the curb.

Well said!!
It's interesting. It's not as apolitical as Gabriel Weinberg makes it sound (because everything is of course political, including opposing disinformation). I'm not sure how DuckDuckGo codify this approach - for example, as terrible as the disinformation from Russia is, what do DuckDuckGo plan to do about the disinformation in the West? Or does that not bother them? Honest questions, by the way; I'm not claiming to know all the answers 🙂
No borders, no nations. The only war is class war.
Take a good old fashioned stink bomb after staying on your phone as long as you like.
This is hilarious. Love it!
And for those who complain that government-introduced cautionary measures are illegitimate, of course we shouldn't need the state to tell us to exercise caution during a global pandemic - we should mask up, get vaccinated, and engage in the kinds of worker struggles that this post alludes to.
But then, so many people opposing government cautionary measures all too often aren't upset about that - what they're really upset about is the fact we're taking the virus seriously at all, embracing science, and rejecting the Social Darwinism and eugenics of the far right.
I think there's a difference between censorship and safe spaces if there are codes of conduct and everyone knows what they're signing up for. With the current dominance of capitalism, neoliberalism, and the rising threat of the far right, I have no desire to spend my time online in areas where that's merely reflected and regurgitated. In fact, the only reason I joined Lemmy was because I understood it to be leftist or anarchist friendly and I'm really utterly sick and tired of seeing FOSS forums infested with intolerance and hate speech. So the idea of a space where people can just ignore pronouns, or use transphobic, sexist, racist, ableist, antisemitic, Islamophobic language because to stop them is labeled "cancel culture" is quite abhorrent to me, though there are loads of such places online already existing and thriving. Telegram is full of white supremacist and bigoted channels and groups and the far right flow freely through corporate media, so if I can just for once not have to deal with that shit, that'd be nice. (Thanks Lemmy, keep up the good work)
I'm pansexual, nonbinary, vegan, and anarchist, and I think it's really important for there to be safe spaces online where the Parler type perspective is not welcome; where bigotry and hatespeech is not welcome - I agree in the sense that there has to be a transparent code of conduct so that people know what they're signing up for, and thankfully a heck of a lot of Fediverse instances offer that.
Not feeling sorry for the FluTruxKlan.
This is a much welcome alternative to Linktree. I have been using Allmylinks but this looks way better. Thanks for sharing!
ProtonMail? Tutanota?
It's both.
