Noooo "calling it "authoritarian" is meaningless"!!!

Stop "phrasemongering", it's "not fascism" when China pulls its shit! China also not guilty of Uyghur genocide, that's western propaganda you racist!

Smh. Tankie propaganda was making me mad, I'm actually glad I got banned off their subs for adamantly refusing to accept their lines of reasoning for their blatant, apologetic, wholly uncritical acceptance of china.

I've literally been using em-dashes my entire life — long before genAI was even a thing.

What makes you say that?

The same countries supplying USA with arms and condemning Iran one-sidedly?

Pearl harbour resulted in Hiroshima Nagasaki, which obliterated Japan as a political opponent. The US has no reason to look back at that and fear, because they won.

9/11 was an inside job.

You say non free SMS messages as if it's otherwise "free", but the product is you.

Utility or privacy, it's your pick. If you value privacy more, you won't give in to utility.

Government apps are the only one I think are hard to do without.

People should just stop being so addicted to convenience.

Quit internet banking and cardless payments.

This is like saying the world has enough stories, so new stories don't have a place anymore.

Hard disagree.

Yeah there's a bit of a selection bias going there as you pointed out (not sure if that's the exactly accurate term).

Saying that two men have fucked as being something that would be "psychic damage"?

Voting doesn't make a difference, the system needs to be overthrown.

 

I use X, Instagram, and Pinterest for thirst content. Sadly, the former two are unsafe (unsure about Pinterest but it is American and not FOSS so I'd assume the same).

I'd really like to shift off these platforms, but I'm having trouble finding anything with a reliable search and algo that isn't a dry well.

 

Proton VPN/mail. It's often recommended as being safe, but I'm not so sure.

It has servers in Israel. Ties to Israel are never a good thing. Palantir, Epstein, etc are tied to Israel, and Israel also is known for its surveillance. It is also true that it's completely legal there for them to access and monitor any and all information that passes through VPNs or networks there.

I'm looking for a safe alternative that's privacy-conscious and isn't linked to Israel. Both mail and vpn (it's fine if they're separate). Please let me know if you guys know.

 

This app gets suggested as reddit/discord alternative that's privacy-conscious but like wtf it says I've been blocked ever since I got it. It's probably because I'm in a conservative 3rd world country but wtf?

Can't use VPNs to bypass it either. Anyone who's used it, is there a workaround, or do I just have to ditch the app?
