Seconding Boost for Lemmy, was my favorite before reddits api-lypse.

Self Moderated is just fine. Why do I need to doxx myself to be online? I’m not giving away my birth certificate or SSN just to post on social media that idea is crazy lmao.

Yeah unfortunately we get to live through this nightmare even if you didn’t vote for it. Best tip is to not use US services as payback. Use a VPN if necessary.

There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that’s probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.

Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).

Really hoping this isn’t a 3DS situation where they added a notch to gamecarts. Its so dumb that we can’t use game consoles like a PC and just fucking install discs if we want to without a shitty checking system.

Best trash takes itself out is how I see it. Glad they make it so easy to spot with red merch.

If they made it so your average joe could contribute to the Fediverse with their own hardware I’d contribute. Tired of seeing social media be owned by Billionares.

Honestly, I won’t forgive Biden for just smiling in response to Trump winning after not leaving 4 years sooner. Before anyone asks, I voted for Harris, so don’t shove that narrative down my throat.

Yeah this was my first moment also and largely why I will never pay for NSO+. How they treat the esport community is crazy.

Windows will be worse soon thanks to passkey bullshit they are trying to force. I really think that Blizzard buyout may have entirely sunk current projects.

I prefer this over SBMM but at what point does it just become dead gaming theory?

Man I don’t want a future where we doxx ourselves to just be on a PC. Its insane that parents think real ID for gaming is a good idea. Linux might be the only way to escape any of this in the near future.
