Changing laws is good, but I think us techies also need to build an internet that can't be controlled like that. We need p2p sites. And we need to build it good and usable by regular folk.

This looks interesting: Manyverse, and #android app for #scuttlebutt. I installed it and it's pretty polished. But I haven't figured out how to connect to any pub server. I'm still in 2 minds about #ssb personally.

How programmers comment their code

Do you want to help shape open federated alternatives like @pixelfed, @prismo , @anfora and @funkwhale ?

You can do so very easily at:

https://socialhub.network/

It's a set of forums where anyone can give feedback and ideas for these projects directly to the developers. You don't need to be a coder to take part.

#Fediverse #Alternatives #ActivityPub #FLOSS #OpenSource

Is there any good #modular, #sustainable, #opensource, #repairable, or otherwise just good #smartphone - kind of like #fairphone - that I can get in so-called America? I'm really struggling to find anything. Just a rec for a good alternative to Samsung and Apple would be a start!

Are—are we all getting alts on sunbeam.city because MUST JOIN CO-OP?

I, too, feel the urge

if you aren't worried about privacy because you have "nothing to hide", given that state violation of privacy usually happens to minority and high at-risk groups, you should be aware that having "nothing to hide" is a heck of a lot of privilege

Don't let the material conditions of the current world define you too much, not even in a photographic negative way, because all of those structures are going to be abolished.

One thing I feel is a big contributor to burnout is being too focused on the "anti" aspect of left struggle. Being anti-capitalist, anti-racist, etc. Obviously, being those things is good, but defining yourself too heavily by being the antithesis of the status quo is an exhausting endeavor. Try to direct more energy to the post-capital restructuring, and anchor yourself on what you believe in as well. Universal access to material security, education, healthcare, etc. A better world is coming!

I wish I could choose timelines I wanna see on a per instance basis on the main view. That way if I wanna watch a anime mastodon feed instead of the federated timeline, I could.
