>as far as dendrite goes, we’re talking about using Tor & a degoogled phone without google push notifications.

I have been doing that for years now, kiddo. CalyxOS user of 2 years, here---before that I have used GrapheneOS. Both without microG or any other google play compatibility layers.

I use Element Android with Orbot proxy. It is pretty usable. I get notifications, a-Okay. Nothing to fearmonger about there.

If xmpp is really better than matrix, then you shouldn't be needing these "half-truth" videos to spread its use.

Anyways. Do what you gotta do.

>One solution is to do a ccontrolled demolition of the internet and power-systems so a new one can take it’s place.

The existing industrial society IS what gives them their existing, great, control over the normies. If they burn down these infra, then we simply go back to the pre-industrial society conditions, and continue our struggle for self-sovereignty and liberty for individual or small scale close-knit social organizations, back there.

Tbh, I would be fascinated if such a Kaczynskian revolution took place (albeit by the hands of the power-elite, and not the revolutionaries themselves). We can finally return to the free reign wilderness that both inside of us and outside.

Quite one-sided video. Many things you list as negatives in the Matrix's column are simply "not the whole truth". For example: "matrix requires captcha", "matrix requires email"---these are not true for all the existing homeservers. You may find a homeserver that's open for registration that doesn't force you to train google's machine vision AI nor give up an email.

Another "not the whole truth" is that "dendrite freezes and doesn't let you join big rooms". I have been using my own dendrite homeserver for the last 2 years, and while it may be true that I had some "freezes" when I tried to join some software support communities, in the end (after a few minutes) I always managed to join in, and never got locked out of the discussion.

Apart from all of that, xmpp's multi-device e2ee is also a mess. You make it sound like it is a piece of cake---it ain't.

@Saki I run whatever I want on my computers. Politicians can go pound sand.

@SoulReaver I am not the admin of the mitra.social network. You should ask @silverpill for that.

However, I would advise you to host your own mitra instance. It is quite easy to setup.

@shortwavesurfer unbelievable that some corpos turn to subpar solutions like LN. Many people can't get that working (re: SethforPrivacy's recent tweet).

Monero could've easily supplanted bitcoin for use in paying kagi, or to ivpn for that matter. Ivpn has recently announced a small-time vpn subscription service, and they also announced they will take LN payments for it. Good luck getting it working.

@shortwavesurfer

>Plus they now accept crypto as payment

They aren't accepting Monero yet, I guess.

@shortwavesurfer @rar any advantage in using kagi instead of various searxNG/whoogle instances that are free to use? Also, brave's search engine is getting better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@rar I pay for my own domain name + VPS for ~45 USD per quarter. (I know there are cheaper providers, but I am happy with my current one).

I don't use VPN, I use Tor while browsing and use I2P while torrenting---so I don't pay a dime to obfuscate my online trails.

I use a free tier from a "privacy-conscious" email provider, so I don't pay for that either. I don't self-host my email and I don't seek die-hard email privacy with mine, currently. At most, I PGP-encrypt some of them.

I self-host my own matrix server, which is an e2ee chatting service. So, that goes into my VPS subscription.

@shortwavesurfer why did dgoon stop making the developer segment?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@moneromaxi @ShadowRebel I am guessing he hires a fiverr guy to do the dubs.. He should curb the enthusiasm a little.

@nyakojiru Definitely Local Monero. It has mobile apps, and you don't need to link a bank account. You can totally stay anon on there.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MONERO DEALER!
