Ah yes, Apple is notorious for the freedom of app installations…

I mean you can use Peertube for that. I use it that way.

Haven’t tried it but I’ll give it a go and get back to you.

Who the fuck do you think was tried? Housekeepers?

Yes, definitely the scientists were totally to blame, and definitely not the nation’s leaders…

My man never heard of the Nuremberg Trials 😂

“I’m going to peacefully stand here and defend my beliefs that ICE can kill people dead in the streets, shove them into concentration camps without a trial, and stomp all over any inalienable rights that US citizens used to be entitled to.”

Also “that’s against school code! No swearing in the school!” Bro, what’re you, 8? Lol

It’s of course best to avoid ranting about stuff that will make you sound like a conspiracy nut

When you ask them to do this, the next question will be “why?” and I don’t know another way to answer that.

I’ve gotten comfortable enough to tell them I don’t use that stuff. Sometimes I joke and say I’ll give you my email. Most take it.

So it sounds like you probably never speak to those people again.

By the way, what is your preferred platform for private communication?

SimpleX

if they’re good relationships, they will understand

Sure, what about not “good” relationships? What if you meet a new person and they say “hey, you seem like a cool person, we should get together again, what’s your #?” and then you launch a tirade about the oligarchy and Edward Snowden and these people suddenly don’t want to talk to you ever again.

I’ve said this before, but the way I handle this is a sort of self-hosted linktree style site: firstnamelastname.com, that has all of my contact info, in order of personal preference, and let them choose. That’s about the most I can commit to.

I have done that before but I’m not likely to blow up the few good relationships I have over comm protocols. Which is absolutely what will happen.

Click the link. This one supports screen sharing, and much more.

It’s a nice sentiment but I have tried many times. People just don’t care, and often they’ll laugh at and lambast you for even offering such a suggestion. Tinfoil hat, paranoia, etc.

My brother, this is not just autistic people. Everyone wants this. Except the people who make the sites, because all that noise is how they make money.

If you look at a private blog, they’re usually devoid of much noise.

I mean, that’s fair. Stoat just seems to have stagnated in development. Plus they openly admit they have no plans for federation. This one is newer and has quite a lot more features.

Not only is this pointless/ineffective, it’s also completely unnecessary.

Persona is owned by Palantir/Peter Thiel, which is in the business of information. Rest assured your credentials will be kept, in some form, regardless of what they say.

I thought we were friends 😔

It’ll get a whole lot easier when they can’t access your community any longer without gov ID. Just start posting some dicks or something.

Can I just use yours

Or download the apk direct from the website.

Because people don’t like to donate.

Ideally there will many other self-hosted and federated instances to join without any payments.

Not saying anyone should jump on it right now, just to have a look and keep an eye on it. I definitely wouldn’t invest anything into it until after it’s self-hostable, at the very least.
