This is basically Philly for you. It’s that kind of a place.

Yes please! I have nothing against Lemmygrad, but I also don’t want them to overwhelm everything else from my All feed. Please let us block entire instances, not just communities.

That’s why I prefer Matrix. But it’s hard to convince people to use Matrix so Telegram it is.

This is my argument for Telegram. It’s clients are open source and has good Linux support. And unlike Signal it’s actually nice to use. (non-tech people usually dislike using Signal, but the feedback from Telegram is very positive)

It’s a disgrace that Singal requires a phone number.

There are websites online that offer 10 minute phone numbers.

Matrix is pretty good.

You can care about privacy, or you can ask a phone number during sign up. Those things are mutually exclusive.

Don’t use Signal you care about privacy.

Of course they can. That’s why they have in-app browsers.

I think this happens if you enable the in-app browser, rather than going to FF.

We have been doing early morning runs or bicycle rides since the pandemic began. It was very difficult in the beginning, but feels great now!

Cool! Looking forward to it.

they’ll all go to tiktok

I had to reread this multiple times. I didn’t expect OnlyFans to call people terrorists :)

YouTube has ads? I’ve never seen any. That’s because I use uBlock Origin and NewPipe.

This is a typical LeopardsAteMyFace moment. Democrats spent years to kill online privacy and to get tech giants to act like online cops.

This abortion issue might finally convince the Democratic party about the value of privacy.

I’ll give it a try

Which instance should I migrate to? I tried Beehaw but didn’t like it due to the lack of downvotes. I’ll try perthchat next. Anyone else?
